This diagram illustrates the proper orientation of stone within a wall assembly. Natural bedding is preferred for ashlar (blocks or panels), jambs, mullions, lintels, and copings. Edge bedding provides the best durability for sills, arches, and keystones. The orientation of the bedding plane should be perpendicular to the applied load.
