[QUOTE="jeepers, post: 7112479, member: 15917"] No Jimmy. The builders and engineers are the problem. That same quarry supplied large parts of NI with the exact same products, but they're not having problems. The border doesn't magically remove mica, so what's the difference? It's that the blocks were used for the correct purpose and the correct render was used. Just a heads up for anyone who's not a geologist: mica is present in practically every single rock type, bar limestone. Quarries in Ireland are situated in every rock type we have, but the problem only exists in places with a high driving rain index, where blocks of the incorrect strength were used. [/QUOTE]
