| Jointing and Pointing 
Joint Detail
Joints should not exceed ½" and can be flushed or
ironed depending on the overall effect required and local custom. For the best visual
effect, joints should be recessed about 1/8". For maximum weather resistance in
exposed areas joints should be flush pointed or curved recessed (bucket handle). Avoid
raked joints.
Coursing Options
Bradstone Traditional Walling is available in a unique
range of heights and lengths which enable it to be laid either coursed, random brought to
course or fully random.
Coursed
– the simplest design option, using either the same course height throughout, or
exploiting the range of block course height.
Random Brought to Course
– the simplest method for creating a random appearance, using 9" nominal course
height Jumper Blocks. The higher the percentage of Jumper Blocks within the total wall
area, the more random the appearance.

Fully Random
– requiting rather more attention to design and construction detail, this method
centers on the use of Jumper Blocks of 8", 9" and 10" nominal course
heights.
