Stone cladding of buildings has always been part of the architectural design for thousands of years. Its aesthetics and a sense of permanence have made it a popular material amongst builders and architects. Stone cladding systems have vastly improved over the years with the advances in technology and improved building systems. Conventionally, dry cladding systems consist of a process of fixing stone slabs with stainless steel brackets anchored to the wall or to an MS subframe. The joints between the stone slabs are closed with a sealant. In this system, the gap created between the wall and the stone cladding has no ventilation.
The sealant used in this system also eventually deteriorates, causing ingress of water, which could affect the MS framework causing corrosion and eventually weakening the system. A ventilated stone cladding system has several advantages over conventional dry cladding systems. In broad terms, a ventilated facade is composed of three parts: an interior surface, insulating layer and an exterior surface.
At WFM Media, we offer sustainable stone cladding systems that provide optimal ventilation and energy efficiency, helping architects create buildings that are both functional and beautiful.Our ventilated stone cladding system utilizes the latest materials and techniques to create sustainable and durable building envelopes that enhance any project's aesthetic appeal.The system is lightweight and easy to install. Also, since it is a ventilated system, it allows the hot air which gets trapped between the stones and the wall to circulate, creating an efficient insulator. The system also does not use sealants which also tend to disintegrate after a long period of time.
