Information Paper 18/98 Stone cladding panels: in-situ weathering
Publication Year
1998
Document Status

Abstract
As new sawing techniques become available, the use of thin stone cladding has been increasing. But the failure of some cladding indicates that more needs to be understood about its performance. This paper outlines recent research findings that have identified a number of areas where extra care is required from the designer and contractor. This research demonstrates the importance of reliable guidance for the selection and use of this type of stone cladding.
