Preparation of Rocked Face Panels from StoneClip

Here we are preparing to install 600 mm x 300 mm x 20-60 mm Rock Faced Granite stone panels that will be supported on our new adjustable StoneSub substructure at a cavity with of approx 250 mm using the 8 mm StoneSub system.

The above images show the components of the adjustable StoneSub substructure and the vertical channel and 8 mm StoneSub bracket attached to it. It allows us to erect stone panels from a cavity width of 100 mm out to 250 mm wide. There is 3 of these adjusters / 6000mm of vertical 42 mm x 42 mm x 2.5 mm wall thickness.

The second image shows a 600 mm x 300 mm x 20 -60 mm panel of Rockfaced Stone( approx 30 kgs) that is being prepared to accept the StoneSub system front disc . The cutter is a air/ water machine driven by a 12 cfm compressor. It puts a cut into the panel of 28 mm deep. The third image in the above shows the panel with the indents in it ready to have the 8 mm router indents put into it to give a finished depth of 5 mm joint when installed.

The following images show the router machine with the 8 mm bit in it. The panel with Top & Bottom clips installed into the bottom of the panel, ready for installation. The showing 2 of the intermediate panels with the 8 mm shafts installed into place. Also showing the clearance under the shafts when they will be in place and carrying the load of the panel above - this is important.

These last images show the tight fit of the disc on the shaft fitted into the indent in the panel. The excess cut either side of the disc can be filled with silicone. This shows the only extent of the cut out with the router to accommodate the 8 mm shaft. The last images show three of the panels ready to be assembled with the spacers in place.
