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.

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 smallest unit measures 50 x 50 centimetres. The width and height can therefore be selected in increments of 50 centimetres. The salt wall can therefore be extended at any time in any direction, i.e. to the side, upwards and downwards. 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.

Back plate with panels

The back plate also serves as a drilling template, making it easy to assemble the salt wall. There is a side panel on each side as a screen and a cover panel on top as dust protection. You can mount your own lighting on the back plate. A two-centimetre hole serves as a passage for any mains connection. Here you will find a planning aid with the exact dimensions. The clear width, the distance between the back plate and the grille, is 2.7 centimetres.

Assembly

For each salt wall module, six brackets - or just four for the smallest module - 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.

Tools required

Spirit level and pencil
Impact drill with 6 mm and 8 mm drill bits
Cordless screwdriver with 2.5 mm and 5 mm hexagon socket bit

Note

Rock salt dissolves at a relative humidity of 74 per cent or more. Rooms with higher humidity are therefore unsuitable for a salt wall, unless the humidity is lowered accordingly with a dehumidifier.
