stone cladding-Natural Stone Cladding Guide For Architects - Part 1
This type of cladding has been trusted and implemented for decades. Here the natural stone is attached to a pre-constructed supporting structure. And together, both the layers form the skin of the building.In traditional handset cladding, the weight of the stone is transferred to load-bearing fixings located at the floor base. So, such a type must be adopted by incorporating movement joints and compression joints. Premium quality granite tile, limestone and sandstone are extensively used in this traditional cladding system. That being said, high-quality marble and slate tiles are the secondary choices.
