Product Information

In the British Islands, many mediaeval and post-mediaeval buildings are built of small natural stones, called rubble. The Department cannot recommend specific contractors for restoration work. However, this is a skilled field and owners and their agents should satisfy themselves that those they employ have the required skills. Previous examples of their work should be inspected, and recommendations sought. Suitability: ideal for building and walling for residential houses and properties, commercial and public buildings I.S. code refers to this type of masonry as Brought to the course. In this type of masonry, stones of uniform height are laid in horizontal layers not less than 130 mm in height.

Strength of the masonry is reduced to a great extent when joints of the adjacent courses are placed one above another). Small pieces of stones should be avoided in providing support to facing stones. 5. Flint Rubble Masonry Types of Rubble Masonry: Coursed Rubble Masonry & uncoursed Rubble Masonry 17 But, as the stones are undressed, they vary in shape and size to a large extent. This results in poor bonding between the stones.

Quality of mortar: The quality of mortar used in rubble masonry is vital for its strength and durability, the mortar should have appropriate proportions of cement, sand, admixture and water. A thatched roofed, mud walled house in disrepair, off Derrinraw Road, The Biches, Craigavon The worst enemy of this material is water ingress. In fact, a relatively constant low level of damp is good for the cohesion of the walling material. Water will be constantly taken up and then given off according to weather conditions; this is called ‘breathing’. When the water level reaches saturation this cohesion breaks down. The outer lime shield may have failed, and this will lead to the gradual erosion of the wall face but if quantities of water enter the core from either the head or the foot of the wall then the problem must be treated urgently or a total collapse of that section of wall must eventually be expected. In Northern Ireland stone has been used for generations because of its strength, longevity and aesthetics. It can be worked, dressed and carved to express the intent and inspiration of architect, sculptor and mason. Crucial to the understanding of a stone building is knowledge of how it is constructed, how the components are crafted together and how this intricate combination of the parts contributes to the final aesthetic and artistic qualities. Timber can be impacted by moisture leading to mould growth, rot and infestation by timber boring insects. It is commonly used in buildings where a neat and regular finish is desired. On the other hand, uncoursed rubble masonry involves irregularly shaped stones laid without specific alignment, resulting in a more rustic and natural look.

Choice of traditional and contemporary styles and finishes, with a wide range of natural stone available in sandstone, limestone, slate and quartzite There are several types of rubble masonry techniques, each with its own unique characteristics and uses. Reduced environmental impact: working with natural stone is relatively non-toxic and low carbon compared to most other building materials. Since most of our stone is quarried in the UK and Ireland, our transport emissions are also relatively low Square rubble masonry consists of stones that are dressed (squared on all joints and beds) before laying, [ citation needed] set in mortar, and make up the outer surface of a wall. The timber frame method of house construction has existed for centuries. Timber was often a cheaper alternative to masonry and in certain parts of the country more readily available. Timber-framed houses are often slightly crooked as a result of movement over the years. This does not automatically mean that the house is about to fall down, and crookedness can contribute to a building's character.To prevent capillary action in the wall by electro-osmosis. This type of installation is specialist work. The wall is prepared by stripping the plaster to a height of about 1 m. A continuous metal strip is then fastened to the masonry and the surface made good. The long term effectiveness of such systems have been questioned but they have the advantage of causing less disruption to the historic fabric of the wall. The stone beds are hammer/chisel dressed to at least 10 cm depth from the face to facilitate proper bonding. The vertical joints in the consecutive courses should not be allowed to coincide. Local weather conditions caused repeated wetting and drying, and atmospheric pollution are severe enemies of all stones. The incorrect bedding of sedimentary stonework can result in the total breakdown of individual stones. Iron, built in as ties or cramps, rusts and swells eventually bursting the stonework open. Where the stone itself is extremely durable for example basalt and granite the problems are found at the joints. All these decay patterns are aggravated by frost. Respect for the unique heritage of local areas: reflects vernacular architecture authentically yet cost-effectively

This masonry is suitable in hilly areas where stones are available in abundance at a cheaper rate. It is used in the construction of This masonry is extensively utilized in hilly areas where good quality stones are easily available for the construction of, List what materials from cutting out or demolition should be set aside and numbered if necessary for reuse and any cleaning or other preparation which must be carried out.These stones are embedded in the facing to show the irregularity of face joints in all directions for aesthetic appeal. This type of masonry has hammer-dressed stones placed in a level course. The height of the stones should be more than their breadth, while its size varies between 5-10 cm. To inject the wall with a chemical which prevents water movement. This method requires holes to be drilled at regular intervals and is visually unacceptable in most historic buildings – listed building or scheduled monument consent should always be obtained before undertaking works which involve these risks to the passage of moisture out of the walls and this level of alteration. In solid rubble masonry walls the core often contains voids and decayed mortar which will result in an uneven distribution of the chemical. To avoid this, the wall are often prepared by washing out the loose material at the base of the wall and then grouting to fill the voids. The grout should be of similar strength to the original mortar, and be lime-based. The chemical is then expected to form an even and continuous barrier. This method is uncertain in its coverage and operatives normally require the removal of a meter of plaster on the interior and its replacement with hard cement render to avoid bridging. This hard covering will also disguise any failure of coverage leading to long-term potential damage, and so this method is rarely advised in historic buildings.. This is cheaper as the cost of mortar is nullified. But, at the same time, skilled manpower is required to manage the stones alone without mortar.

But the kitchen and dining area was my absolute favorite room in the house. One entire wall was crafted from thin layers of ledge stones that were strategically placed and framed with pine wood. If it is greater than 3 m, three adjacent courses are laid & at 3 m intervals in square rubble masonry. Several factors can influence the construction and performance of rubble masonry and this factor include, My husband and I rented the most beautiful cabin I had ever seen up in the Smoky Mountains not long ago. It had natural stones mixed in with fine woodwork throughout the interior of the home. Rubble-work" is a name applied to several types of masonry. [1] One kind, where the stones are loosely thrown together in a wall between boards and grouted with mortar almost like concrete, is called in Italian "muraglia di getto" and in French "bocage". [1] In Pakistan, walls made of rubble and concrete, cast in a formwork, are called 'situ', which probably derives from Sanskrit (similar to the Latin 'in situ' meaning 'made on the spot'). [ citation needed]In this type of masonry, stones are chisel-dressed into an almost square shape and arranged in courses.
