1. Design Requirements and Uses:-
• Uses:
• Stone, Granite, and Marble Cladding are commonly used for:
• Facades of commercial and residential buildings.
• Interior walls for luxury aesthetics.
• Pillars, columns, and feature walls.
• Flooring and exterior paving in certain cases (less for cladding).
• Design Requirements: Stone
• Aesthetic Appeal: Match the stone’s color, texture, and pattern to the
architectural style.
• Structural Load Capacity: The building framework must support the
cladding’s weight.
• Climate Adaptability: Ensure the material suits the environmental
conditions (e.g., freeze-thaw cycles, humidity).
• Thickness and Panel Size: Optimal sizes minimize joints and ensure
durability.
• Wind and Seismic Loads: Design must withstand lateral and seismic Granite
forces, especially for high-rise buildings.
• Ventilation: For rainscreen systems, design allows for ventilation and
moisture management.
• Integration with Other Materials: Seamless blending with glass, steel,
or concrete elements.

2. Fixation Methods:-
• Common Methods:
1. Wet Fixation:
1. Mortar and Adhesive: Stone panels are directly bonded to the substrate using cement mortar
or special adhesives.
2. Grouting: Used to fill joints and prevent moisture penetration.
3. Advantages: Cost-effective for small-scale or low-height applications.
4. Limitations: Less durable under dynamic loads or extreme weather.
2. Dry Fixation:
1. Mechanical Anchors:
1. Pin Fixing: Anchors (e.g., stainless steel) are embedded into pre-drilled holes in the stone.
2. Z-Clips or Hook Systems: Hooks are attached to the back of the stone panel.
2. Aluminum Framing: Stone panels are mounted on aluminum or steel frameworks with
adjustable brackets.
3. Advantages:
1. Allows for thermal movement.
2. Suitable for high-rise buildings.
4. Limitations:
1. Higher cost compared to wet methods.
2. Requires skilled labor.

3. Ventilated Rainscreen Systems:


1. Stone panels are spaced from the substrate, creating a cavity for ventilation.
2. Advantages: Prevents moisture buildup and improves thermal performance.
3. Applications: Widely used for energy-efficient facades.
3-Structural Preparation:
• Substrate Integrity:
• Ensure the substrate (concrete, masonry, steel) is level, stable, and free from
defects.
• Load-Bearing Design:
• Consider the weight of the stone and its distribution.
• Incorporate structural elements like brackets and anchors into the building
framework.
• Thermal Movement Gaps:
• Allow space for material expansion and contraction due to temperature changes.
• Sealing:
• Use high-performance sealants to prevent water ingress.
• Backing Materials:
• Use cement boards, plywood, or metal framing for proper alignment and support
• 4. Insulation
• Thermal Insulation:
• Install insulation materials (e.g., mineral wool, polystyrene) behind the cladding in
ventilated systems to enhance energy efficiency.

• Acoustic Insulation:
• Stone cladding naturally offers some soundproofing, but additional layers (acoustic panels)
may be added if required.

• Moisture Protection:
• Apply water-resistant membranes or vapor barriers to prevent moisture from penetrating
the building envelope.
