Improving stone
Rainscreen cladding or ventilated façade has become the choice for many architects
and looking for an efficient solution for cladding and an appealing finish. Rainscreen
systems are a superficial treatment, applied either as a component of new
construction work, or as a facade and insulation enhancement to existing structures.
The outer weather resistant decorative panelling is 'loose fit' in concept, which means
it can be easily replaced to suit changing tastes, new materials and company image.
Panels are attached to the main structure with a simple grid of metal framing which
varies according to the system. This allows space for a ventilated and drained cavity,
with provision for insulation to be attached to the substructure.

FIXING SYSTEMS
Support structures vary in their format
and complexity according to the nature of
the cladding material, drainage, and
rainscreen system.
Most support systems are proprietary
and are often designed together with a
cladding system from the same
manufacturer.
The support system will usually comprise
of vertical or vertical and horizontal fixing
rails fixed back to the structure using
brackets. Additional brackets may be
used to fix the cladding to the supporting
rails. Generally grooves are required on
the lower and upper edges of each stone,
into which a connecting element is
inserted.
