	Diapering in construction also called diaperwork refers the decorative treatment of a surface or facade with a repeating pattern of squares or chequers or rectangles. The terms stems from the latin 'dia' meaning across, describing the diagonal perpenicular lines creating diamond patterns.

Diapering in construction also called diaperwork refers the decorative treatment of a surface or facade with a repeating pattern of squares or chequers or rectangles. The terms stems from the latin 'dia' meaning across, describing the diagonal perpenicular lines creating diamond patterns.

It origins lie in Medieval times, often combining a flint stone wall with brick infill creating the repetitive pattern, an later with differing shades or materials of brick. It was a technique often used in Gothic and Tudor architecture often seen on churches, castles, and some houses to denote status and craftsmanship.

Diapering and the resulting geometric patterns can improve the visual interest of a facade, giving more depth and breaking the monotony of plain brick or flint surfaces surfaces and thus aesthetic value. It has also been used to create specific patterns or motifs that might represent the owner of the building such as guilds, religions, families or clans.

The technique to some extent can contribute to the structural integrity of a wall, with the interlocking patterns acting as structural ribs, distributing loads more evenly and potentially improving environmental resistance. Diapering might still be used today, often on brick facades likewise to add interest to plain brick surfaces. The employment of diapering today may be executed traditionally on site by a skilled brick layers or flinters (a flint worker) often on traditional buildings or off-site in the pre-production of modular building elements, brought to site and installed separately.
