Joints
Joints between stones
According to the traditional method, the plaster is
poured after the faces and contours have been filled
(the cup method). For the economical method,
stones are laid on a mortar bed with the vertical
joints being filled as the installation is performed.
Grouting is finished afterwards with a compatible
mortar.
Thickness of joints: from 0.8 cm to 1.5 cm.
Construction: joints between stones must be filled
or poured through the entire thickness of the
masonry and up to the reference plane of the facade without recesses or projections.
Important
recommendations
Expansion and contraction joints are spaced approximately 20 m to 35 m apart depending on the region.
