Stone Cladding Support with StoneClips from StoneClip

The above project has just been completed and the owners have just moved in.

The stone cladding was carried out by Brett Hofman and his men of Stonehedge Stone Masonry - info@stonehedgemasonry.com.au, who chose to support the pieces of stone (300mm deep x 800mm long x 50mm bed and rock faced 50-80mm) with 33mm set size stoneclips. Perfect for the project as they give you support when installed at 25mm in from back face and a cavity of just 5mm wide.

Each piece of stone panelling weights in at 38-40 kgs, so the 2 Stoneclips / panel are not loaded anywhere near their capacity. The joint width adopted was 10mm and this was filled with a backing rod and then the grouting was completed by injecting it in with a grout gun which forced the grout material in 30mm.

The underside of the panels over the openings are supported by the use of the 6 mm adjustable Top & Bottom clips which have a working range of 10mm-30mm cavity with this size panels (50mm bed).

The Sandstone was sourced from Australian Sandstone Merchants from their Mt White deposit.
