TECHNICAL DATA
COMPOSITION
DENSITY
Stone From Stock architectural masonry ashlar blocks and quoins are manufactured
in accordance with BS6073 parts 1 & 2:1981 in two part or homogenous semi dry
or wet cast mix. Using natural occurring aggregates,sand, Portland cement and
an integral waterproofer, pigments are added where necessary.
The typical average density of stone from stock architectural masonry
is 2150kg/m3
COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH
Cast Stone Dressings
When tested in accordance with BS1881:Part 116: 1983 and BS1217:1997 and
the United Kingdom cast Stone Association, the cast stone was tested over three
150mm cubes giving an average crushing strength well in excess of 25KN/mm2.
Ashlar Blocks And Quoins
When tested in accordance with BS1881:Part 116: 1983 and BS6073: parts
1 & 2:1981, the cast stone was tested over ten samples of blocks at a size of
440x215x100mm giving an average strength in excess of 10KN/mm2.
DRY SHRINKAGE
The average dry shrinkage of three specimens sampled and tested in
accordance with BS6073:Part 1 was as follows:
Face Mix
<0.04%
Backing Mix <0.06%
WEATHERING
Many factors influence the way cast stone weathers, such as design, exposure,
climate and surrounding. All pigments used are colourfast and durable and
conform to BS1014. Stone From Stock architectural dressings will weather in a
similar manner to natural stone, when exposed to similar conditions.
STRUCTURAL USE
CEMENTITIOUS EFFLORESCENCE
All cast stone heads and cills are decorative and are not
designed to be load bearing. Load bearing products can be
manufactured in a wet cast method of manufacture and
are available to order only.
As with all reconstructed stone and cement based products there is the possibility
that the temporary phenomenon known as efflorescence will occur causing
lightening of colour. This will reduce over a period of time with natural weathering.
Quoins, Plinths and String Courses can be used in
load bearing situations when used in compression.
HEALTH, SAFETY & WELFARE
The contractor shall ensure that health, safety and welfare measures
required or by virtue of the provision of any enactment or
regulation or the working rules of the industry are
complied with.
All units are reinforced where necessary with
handling reinforcement.
