If $\tau$ is a maximal face of the link $\mathrm{lk}_K(\sigma)$, then $\sigma \cup \tau$ is a maximal face of the ambient complex $K$.
Any two chambers $C, D$ of an apartment $A$ are related by a bijective automorphism of $A$ sending $D$ to $C$.
Pushing forward a strict inclusion of finite sets along an injective map yields a strict inclusion of images.
A bijective simplicial isomorphism $\varphi : A \to A'$ carries maximal faces of $A$ to maximal faces of $A'$.
For two apartments $B, B_0$ sharing a common chamber $D$, there is a bijective face-preserving isomorphism $B \to B_0$ that fixes $D$ setwise.
By apartment-level unique labelling, any bijective face-preserving isomorphism $B \to B'$ that fixes a chamber $D$ setwise acts as the identity on every face of $B$.
