Stonework can be significantly affected by environmental factors such as weathering, erosion, and pollution. Over time, exposure to moisture, temperature fluctuations, and acidic rain can lead to deterioration, discoloration, and structural damage. Additionally, biological growth, such as moss or lichen, can further compromise the integrity of stone surfaces. Proper maintenance and restoration techniques are essential to preserve the beauty and longevity of stonework.

Measure of volume for stonework?
Answer: Perch (=22 cu. feet or 0.7 cu. metre approx.)
How acid rain affects stonework?
Acid rain can accelerate the deterioration of stonework by reacting with the minerals in the stone, causing it to weaken and disintegrate. This process can erode the surface of the stone, leading to discoloration, pitting, and an overall loss of structural integrity over time. To protect stonework from acid rain, sealing the surface with appropriate products or using materials resistant to acid corrosion can help mitigate the effects.
