Ever since man first erected a hut in which to shelter, sticks (wattles) and clay or earth (daub) have been used to fill in the gaps in the wooden framework, to keep out the cold, wind and rain, or the heat during summer. Wattle and daub can still be seen today as infill panels between the timbers of thousands of ancient timber-framed buildings throughout Great Britain. Its longevity is remarkable, as it may last for more than five hundred years in many situations. The author sets out to explain some of the mysteries surrounding wattle and daub and why it has stood the test of time. \u003cbr\u003eABOUT THE AUTHOR\u003cbr\u003ePaula Sunshine works daily with timber-framed buildings, teaching homeowners and people in the building trade traditional -methods of repair, such as wattle and daub and lime plastering.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45088295977111,"sku":"9780747806523","price":263.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780747806523.webp?v=1767641501","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/wattle-and-daub-9780747806523","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
