ABOUT STONE CLADDING
Stone cladding can be used internally and externally. Internally, stone cladding tiles can be directly fixed to internal walls with adhesive. Externally, stone cladding is normally attached with stainless steel fixings; there are also proprietary stone cladding rainscreen systems, which typically attach stone cladding panels to extruded aluminium mullions fixed to the main structure. With stone cladding rainscreen systems, any moisture penetrating the front seal is drained and expelled through weep holes in the stone cladding.
Another form of stone cladding takes the form of a thin layer of natural stone bonded to the exterior of a concrete panel; this produces the effect of stone cladding while economising on material.
The materials used for stone cladding can include marble, granite, sandstone, limestone and slate.
