salt wall kit

Salt wall system

This modular salt wall construction kit is designed as a hanging system for the simple, quick and clean construction of a salt wall. The salt bricks are made from pure, translucent rock salt. They are simply hung in a grid on the wall.

Light, warmth and salt

Light, warmth and salt are important components of life; they promote harmony, joy and well-being. Warm light gently penetrates the red salt crystal and creates a golden-orange salt light, similar to the sunrise. The warmth radiates through the salt wall and the salt stones absorb it over time and release it into the room as natural radiant heat, even when the light has already been switched off. Each stone in the salt wall is a piece of nature and unique in its structure and colour. The crystalline secrets that have been enclosed within it since time immemorial are now revealed by the even and warm backlighting with the SALUX® lighting system. The red salt stones in their various shades of colour are combined in our salt wall system to create a total work of art and - together with the backlighting - form a salt surface that shines in golden salt light.

Red salt

The colour scale ranges from pink to orange to dark red. There are stones with a single colour and those with several different shades, as well as with beautiful marble-like structures, with crystal salt and clay inclusions. Incidentally, red salt gets its colour from tiny amounts of iron oxide.

Origin: Red salt comes from the Salt Range in Pakistan.

Dimensions

The salt wall system is available in various sizes. The module width is 50 cm. Therefore, the width can be selected in 50 cm increments. The height can be selected in 20 cm increments, starting from 40 cm. Each salt wall consists of two different salt bricks: the main brick (20x10x5 centimetres) and the edge brick, which is only half the size (10x10x5 centimetres). As its name suggests, the edge brick is only used at the edge. If you want to extend your salt wall to the side, the kerbstones are replaced by main stones and the kerbstones are moved to the newly created edge. The joint between the stones is approximately 2.4 millimetres wide. This results in slightly larger overall dimensions in width and height. The bricks are hung in a bond, as with real brickwork. The four edges of the visible side of each brick are bevelled with a five millimetre wide 45-degree chamfer.

Hinterleuchtung

Das Herzstück der Hinterleuchtung ist ein auf der Rückplatte montierter, mit Miniaturglühbirnchen bestückter Lichtschlauch, deren Licht die Salzwand gleichmäßig in einen harmonischen Farbton taucht und deren angenehme Wärme sofort spürbar ist, weil das Steinsalz den allergrößten Teil der Wärmestrahlung durchläßt, nämlich 92 Prozent. Mit der Zeit erwärmen sich dann auch die Salzziegel und die Salzwand, selbst wenn das Licht schon ausgeschaltet ist, strahlt diese Wärme noch eine ganze Weile ab. Es ist dieser Licht-Wärme-Effekt, der diese einmalige und behagliche Wohlfühlatmosphäre erzeugt.

Hinterleuchtung auswechselbar
Der Lichtschlauch kann bei Bedarf auswechselt werden und zwar – und das ist das Sensationelle – ohne daß man alle Salzziegel und das Haltegitter entfernen muß. Man muß lediglich einen Stein entfernen, damit man über die darunter befindliche Verbindungsdose an den Elektroanschluß gelangt. Dann läßt sich der Lichtschlauch einfach seitlich aus der Salzwand herausziehen. Auf die gleiche Weise schiebt man Stück für Stück einen neuen Lichtschlauch seitlich hinter die Salzziegel in die entsprechenden Lichtschlauchkanäle und schließt ihn dann entsprechend an. Besonders für Salzwände mit langen Betriebsdauern ist diese neue Hinterleuchtung unbedingt zu Empfehlen. Die Salzziegel müssen nicht extra wo gelagert werden, die Haltgitter nicht entfernt und die Halter nicht gelöst, ein Riesenvorteil gegenüber der bisherigen Hinterleuchtung.

Back plate with side covers

The back plate also serves as a drilling template, making it easy to assemble the salt wall. The back plate features light channels into which the rope light is inserted and a through-hole for the power connection. The salt wall requires a 230-volt power connection. See our planning guide for the exact dimensions. There are side covers on the left and right sides of the salt wall.

Assembly

For each salt wall module, four to six brackets are screwed to the wall, to which a support grid is attached. There are two angled holes in each of the salt bricks into which grub screws are screwed, which are then used to hang the bricks into the grid. All metal parts are made of rust- and acid-free stainless steel. Translucent foam strips made of oekotex-certified foam are clamped between the bricks to fill the joints. This looks beautiful, especially when the salt wall is backlit, as there are no distracting shadows. The joints now glow together with the salt stones in a warm shade of light. In addition, unpleasant flashes of light, which occur when looking directly through a joint into a light source, are avoided.
The salt wall kit is designed as a hanging system and can therefore be placed freely on the wall like a picture; there is no need for a plinth or to raise the salt stones from the floor. As no adhesive is required, there are also no emissions.
The salt wall can be easily dismantled and reassembled at another location. However, the threaded pins should then be left in the salt bricks so that the salt does not break out due to repeated screwing in and out.

Detailed assembly instructions are supplied. Please watch one of our assembly videos!

Tools required

• Spirit level and pencil

Note

Rock salt dissolves at a relative humidity of 75 per cent or more. Rooms with higher humidity are therefore unsuitable for a salt wall, unless the humidity is lowered accordingly with a dehumidifier.
