Hello,
What is your opinion on the wall connection from interior to exterior walls.
The stone is a KLB (175 mm with 3 chambers) laid with thin-bed mortar.
The construction company talks about butt jointing with glued-in meshes (no idea what kind of meshes these are). This seems to be standard here. The architect says the meshes are rubbish. He wants interlocking. Of course, that is time-consuming, and can it be done with thin-bed mortar? What about flat steel anchors in sufficient (or excessive) quantity?
What do you think about that?
Then about the mortar application.
Actually, this is done with a mortar board. Is there anything against dipping/placing the stone into the mortar and then building it up?
Thanks for your comments
Regards, Marc
