Gauged brickwork is a term used to describe the superior finish
required in the details of an important brickwork elevation, such
as moulded reveals, arches, string courses and other forms of
ornamentation. This is achieved through shaping the individual
bricks to produce a high degree of regularity, accurate dimensions
and extreme fineness in the joints. This practical handbook
combines simple diagrams and photographs to describe each stage of
the process, from rubbing, cutting and shaping the bricks to laying
and carving them. It emphasizes the importance of this skill in
repairing and repointing rubbed and gauged brickwork and the damage
that can be done by those unskilled in the craft. The second
edition of this standard reference work has been substantially
updated with new material, including additional photographs and
illustrations to explain the various procedures and applications.
It also now offers a fascinating and detailed historical
perspective on the development of this important craft. The
insights gleaned from this revised edition will be extremely
valuable to architects and builders involved in conserving and
repairing gauged brickwork, and also to those who are required to
commission new decorative work to a high standard.
