Half Bond
Stone is laid in a coursed pattern where every second vertical joint is the same & generally occurs to the centre of the adjacent block/brick above and below.
Stone is stacked in a bond on top of each other with the bedding and perpendicular joint in the same gridline.
A set arrangement of stone pieces that form a repeatable pattern.
Stone is set in a coursed height of 330mm with blended lengths.

Cladding
Fragmented pieces of cladding are shaped by the layer and pieced together generally without mortar joints. Laid with a flush surface.
Stone is rubbled to the edges and laid in a random strata form creating horizontal planes.
The term freestone is used to describe a style of walling in which the pieces are laid in an apparently random or free pattern.

The mixed bond patterns designed by Limestone Australia are developed by utilising a combination of consistent lengths that can be adapted to different course heights.
The Cottesloe mixed bond pattern (refer Diagram 1) is repeated on a diagonal basis (refer Diagram 3).
The Sorrento coursed mixed pattern (refer Diagram 2) is formed by utilising the components for the mixed pattern rotating and offsetting the courses 680mm and 425mm as indicated.
These are suggested patterns only and components can be switched around as required to break up vertical lines. The Sorrento and Cottesloe patterns are set out using a 10mm joint.
