This leaflet describes the general structural details of Universal house construction. The system consists of solid external walls cast-in-situ using clinker and gravel aggregate concrete. The walls are faced on internal and external surfaces with asbestos cement sheeting which is used as permanent shuttering. Pressed-steel channel stanchions positioned at 4 foot centres temporarily support the permanent shuttering and roof framing before the concrete walls are poured. Horizontal reinforcement in bar form is threaded through holes in the stanchion webs. This leaflet is a compilation of extracts from several sources. It does not encompass all variations and some construction details may vary from those given.
