• Lightness: Stone cladding is easier to carry and install than natural stone, and it places less pressure on the existing structure. It generally weighs considerably less than natural stone.

• Insulation: Stone cladding is weather-resistant and protective. It helps a building stay warm in winter and cool in summer. Reinforcing the cladding with a steel or aluminum framework, called a honeycomb, makes it able to resist earthquakes and high winds.

• Minimal maintenance: Like stone, stone cladding requires little upkeep to look good for many years.

WÉI GËTT STEINBESCHREIWUNG ANVÄND?

Ënnergeschnidden Anker

Dëst ass déi üblech Method fir grouss Installatiounen. An engem ënnerschriwwenen Ankersystem bohren d'Installateuren Lächer an de Réck vum Steen, setzen e Bolzen an fixéieren d'Verkleedung horizontal. Dëst ass eng gutt Method fir Soffits a méi déck Panelen.

Kerf Method

An dëser Methode schneiden d'Installateure Rillen uewen an ënnen vum Steen. D'Steen plazéiert op enger Spannung um Enn vun der Verkleedung Panel mat enger zweeter Spannung uewen. Dëst ass eng séier, einfach Installatiounsmethod déi exzellent ass fir méi kleng Installatiounen a méi dënn Panelen.

Béid Installatiounsmethoden benotzen en oppene gemeinsame Design. Fir de Look vun echte Steen ze mimikéieren, weisen d'Installateuren d'Plazen tëscht de Gelenker mat Mauerwierk.
