STONEPANEL is an innovative cladding system for walls
and facades, suitable for both internal and external application.
Individual panels made of natural stone including
quartzite, gneiss, limestone, sandstone and slate are joined to a cement
base, that is reinforced with a light metal or fibre glass mesh at the
base.
Each piece is Z-shaped to hide the joints from view.
It is very simple to install and doesn’t need specialised labour.
STONEPANEL cladding is the only natural stone
pre-assembled product on the market that is backed by BBA certification
and offers installation advantages over traditionally built natural stone.
Taylor Maxwell are the sole supplier in the UK and hold stocks in several
locations.
STONEPANEL Sky incorporates a hook in the
back to allow for a mechanical fix, in addition to the adhesive, assuring
additional strength and durability.
To avoid visible joints each panel is Z-shaped
and its placement is very simple without the requirement of specialist,
skilled labour. STONEPANEL can be easily cut on site using an electric
grinder or site cutting bench and the pieces are laid in a 'stretcher
bond' so as to deter from vertical joints being directly on top of each other.
It is suggested to fix back the stone cladding to a
masonry substrate with Ardex X7G+ adhesive up to a height of 2 meters, taking
into consideration the guidelines in the BBA. Thereafter, it is recommended to
utilise the mechanical fixability of STONEPANEL Sky hooks in conjunction with
the adhesive.
