STEP 1:

Start at ground level and ensure that the staring row is level.

STEP 2:

Our slots as required in stone cladding using a standard biscuit cutter fitted with diamond cutting wheel. Always cut slot measured from front face of panels to ensure plumb/flush faces.

NOTE: For correct loading of the StoneClip, the cut must be made centrally in the top and bottom edges of the stone panels (eg, 40mm stone to have the cur made 20mm from the front edge).

STEP 3:

Mount panel onto bottom brackets and inert StoneClips into upper panel slots. Hold clip in place ensure centre spindle sits on upper edge of stone panel.

STEP 4:

Drill into wall through top mounting hole of StoneClip. Drive in zinc-alloy metal hit anchor pins using hammer and punch to affix StoneClip.

It is recommended to fill the slots in the top of the panels with silicone sealer to take up any play in the panels and to stop moisture pooling in the lot.

STEP 5:

Use Nylon “X” spaces between panels to provide even spacing.

USING ADJUSTABLE STONECLIPS:

STEP 1:

Make cut in panels with biscuit butter (as before) and indent if panel is to be flush-fitted.

STEP 2:

Locate StoneClips with front face to wall and ser the adjustment to exact size required. Then lock the nut in place and remove StoneClip from panel and trim off the excess thread.

STEP 3:

Reinstall StoneClip with locknut securely locked in place and in forward position. Then drill hole in wall for fixing pin through StoneClip fixing hole.

STEP 4:

Drive in zinc-alloy metal hit anchor pins using hammer and punch to affix StoneClip. Check for plumb before repeating process.

NOTE: To comply with building codes and engineers report angle strip need to be affixed every 3 vertical metres. Slot thickness to be no greater than 0.3mm wider than the clip thickness.

DISCLAIMER: The StoneClips must be installed along the lines of the Engineers Detail, including the installation of angle restraints at each lift level and the use of the right fixing restraints.
