Definition

  • A historical, combined joint plastering and rendering technique applied to rubble stone walls, characterised by the specific way in which the mortar is used. The mortar is applied so that it forms smooth and flat surfaces around the protruded ends of the rubble masonry. After that, a rendering technique (pointing, trowel) is used to create an enhanced visual effect and also to help stones remain clear and visible. [EwaGlos] (en)
