Technical information

Description of Stonescreen curtain wall  

1. The Frame

Stonescreen is constructed with a skeleton structural frame of extruded aluminium alloy. Aliuminium combines lightness, strength, corrossion resistance and design flexibility. 

The aluminium frame may be assembled off site on site assemble as individual elements.

The frame is bolted to the building structure normally at each floor. The vertical frame members hang on the outside of the floor slabs.

 

2. The insulated wall Panels

100mm thick insulated composite panels are clamps onto the frame system between air sealing rubber gaskets.

The outskins of the composite panels are polyester coated steel with PIR or mineral wool core.

The manufacturing process is quality assured and registered BS EN 9002:1994

The panels form an external envelope which hermically sealed envelope to the building with no penetrations where water may ingress. 

 

3. The Stone rainscreen

Stonescreen stone rainscreen cladding support system is  attached to the frame members. 

There is no penetration of the frame or wall panels.The screws and bolts only penetrate hollow chambers within the frame so that air seal is maintained.

Stone panel are attached to the stone stone support system so that stone panels is individally support and restrained.

System design prevents any building or frame movements beig transfered to the stone.

Stone panels can therefore be slimmer than traditional Stone cladding where stone panels must be significantly thicker. 

 

Stone panels are slimmer, lighter, easier to install and safer once installed than traditional stone cladding.

 

Stone cladding panels are usually used at 30mm or 40mm thick. Stonescreen Lite panels are also available should large slim light weight panels be required.

 

Various stone finished are types are available, Granites, Limestones, Sandstones, Slates, Basalts as well as our Agglomerated artificial stones.

Various surface finished are available including polished, flamed, brushed, sand blasted, water jet, honed chiseled etc.
