| description | The main building material in the past was stone. Geological composition influenced the choice and type of building stone, which was used for the construction of the buildings. In eastern Slovakia sandstone was used in large quantities for its good compressive properties, good workability and aesthetic appearance. Sandstones were used for decorative but mainly construction purposes. The most common problem in historical stone structures is missing waterproofing insulation. Transmission and storage parameters of heat and water of historical materials are needed to assess the moisture condition of buildings and to correctly design measures. In this article are presented researches of sandstones properties abroad and locations of selected sandstones of eastern Slovakia, which were used for construction of historical buildings. |
