Internal Walls ~ an alternative to brick and block bonding shown

sufficient movement flexibility and will overcome the problem of
thermal bridging where a brick partition would otherwise bond into
a block inner leaf. They are also useful for attaching extension
walls at right angles to existing masonry.
