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.
