Stone Cladding
Installation Methods
Mechanical Fixing Methods-
1- The stone is fixed to the backup wall using mechanical anchors.

2- Wet (Reinforce Concrete) Methods - The stone is fixed to the backup wall using a system of concrete and
steel (Reinforce Concrete).

3- Gluing / Thin Set Methods- The stone is Glued directly to the backup wall (Interior walls only).

1- Mechanical Fixing Methods

The stone is fixed to the backup wall ( Concrete or steel beams) using steel anchors that restrain
vertical and horizontal movement of the stone.
At most cases the stone is distant from the backup wall so an air cavity is created between the stone
and the backup wall. That air cavity enables better building ventilation and thermal & acoustic insula-
tion.
