- 10. 10 NATURAL CLEFT STONE FINISHES SPLIT FACED SANDBLASTED HONED POLISHED
- 11. Direct Adhered – This is one of the most common methods because it is thinner, less expensive and doesn't require any onsite drilling (which lessens the chances of cracks in the stone occurring). Combination of a liquid latex with a cement-based filler powder is made ; this results in a thin bed mortar that is applied to the wall surface. 11 INSTALLATION METHODS Spot Bonding – This method is quite similar to the direct adhered one; it uses an epoxy adhesive to adhere the stone cladding to the surface. The distinction here lies in the fact that the epoxy is only applied to about 10% of the area, resulting in gaps or pockets of air between the stone and the wall; this reduces the chances of water staining.
- 12. 12 INSTALLATION METHODS Mechanical – This method involves fixed or embedded anchors or ties being used to attach the stone to the surface. You will need to use thicker cladding, as holes need to be drilled into it and mechanical ties or anchors embedded into it. It is recommended that a gap is left to allow for adequate drainage. Aluminium Backing – This method is commonly used for cladding that is being installed outside. It is used to provide structural support to the stone and is actually relatively easy to use. Aluminium panels are shaped to fit the stone perfectly, and to interlock with each other, before being mounted to the surface using runner clips.

- 17. 17 ● Metal is commonly used for non- structural , rainscreen cladding systems to provide protection from elements and to also provide various finishes . ● As it is malleable and foldable , metal panels can be connected together and attached to a building in many ways to provide aesthetic finishes to the building . ● Metal cladding has wide variety of materials . The material choice depends on factors like climatic conditions , aesthetic requirements , chosen structural system , budget and adjacent materials . METAL CLADDING
- 19. ● IT IS SUITABLE FOR COMMERCIAL OR RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS ● STRUCTURES MADE FROM METALS CAN BE DURABLE FOR MANY YEARS ● HAVE LOW INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE COSTS ● ISN'T AFFECTED BY NATURAL ELEMENTS ● METALS ARE CONSIDERED TO BE ECO FRIENDLY AND SUSTAINABLE ● REDUCE ENERGY CONSUMPTION ADVANTAGES ● AS METAL PANELS ARE CONSTANTLY EXPOSED TO WEATHER AND POLLUTION , THE PROTECTIVE COATING CAN BE ATTACKED AND CAN CHANGE THE APPEARANCE OF METAL ● THEY ARE PRONE TO DENTS ● CAN RUST ● METAL CAN BE NOISY WHEN RAIN HITS ITS SURFACE AND HENCE CAN CAUSE SOUND POLLUTION DISADVANTAGES
- 20. 20 ● Brick cladding method has been used for thousands of years . ● It can be used to enhance the appearance of walls or to provide an old fashioned appearance . ● They are available in variety of patterns or colors and can be laid out in many different courses . ● It is designed to shed and repel water so that it cannot reach internal framing of building . ● First class bricks are used for cladding . BRICK CLADDING
- 21. INSTALLATION METHOD 21 STEP 1- PLAN THE LAYOUT OF CLADDING Before we begin to attach any brick , we have to determine where to attach it . We should also ensure that the wall can carry the weight of the brick cladding . STEP 2-LAYING THE BRICK ON SIDE OF WALL Start by applying small amount of adhesive of about ¼” thick on back of full brick and then press it firmly . Then leave ¼” space on all sides of brick . Continue doing this above the brick to cover the whole space . STEP 3- MIX AND LAY MORTAR Mix the mortar and use trowel to layer the mortar between each joint that separate the bricks and be sure not to stick out the mortar between two bricks . STEP 4- CLEAN THE BRICK CLADDING Before the mortar dries , use a wet sponge to clean off remaining mortar .

- 26. MODERN TRENDS ● The old trends of stone, marble, terracotta / clay tiles have come back in fashion. The only difference is that artificial material with these finishes are used. ● The most common trends are : 1. Dynamic cladding :are connected to sun trackers, which respond to the sun's movement – movable louvers open and close automatically to control light and heat into the built environment, shading devices expand and contract to reduce the glare and heat gain. 2. Ventilated facades cladding : the cladding system is installed at a certain gap from the building face and the system itself has vertical gaps between the cladding materials so as to let the natural air to flow in the space between.. This reduces the amount of heat that buildings absorb in hot weather conditions due to partial reflection of solar radiation . This helps in reduction in the costs of air conditioning. Vice versa, in winter. 3. Rainscreen cladding system is a form of double-wall construction that uses an outer layer to keep out the rain and an inner layer to provide thermal insulation. It prevents excessive air leakage and carries wind load. 4. High Pressure Laminates (HPL) cladding: This material is mass produced, easy to install and is available in a wooden look with a lot of varieties. 5. Fibre cement cladding:Fibre cement consists of cement, water, cellulose, textile fibres . The weight of external skin of a house is cut by 9 times .These panels are used as an exterior wall cladding materials in residential , commercial and industrial buildings .Fibre cement planks are made to mimic long wooden planks ,stones and bricks . 26
