| Laying Walling Blocks should be carefully selected to ensure a mix of stone
shapes and textures, with no two similar blocks used in close proximity. Walling Blocks
with larger jumper stones within the neck of the `T’ should be used at intervals to
break up the appearance of horizontal joints; the appearance of cross-joints should be
avoided.
Working in courses, the L(`T’-shaped) Walling Block
should be laid `stem up’, `stem down’, and so on, with Infill Blocks used to
fill the gaps to courses.
The illustration shows a typical laying pattern
using either Masonry/Dressed Ends or Quoins.
A : Masonry or Dressed end.
B : Masonry Block.
C : Infill Block
D : Quoin.
E : Cut Masonry Block.
F : Cut Infill Block / Sneck.

Joints should not exceed 1/2" and should be bagged or
brushed (filled but very slightly hollow). Consistent mortar colour is essential to ensure
the full visual potential of the walling system and the false joints in the Main Block
units must be pointed at the same time as the construction joints. |
