Total Stone is a natural stone rainscreen cladding panel. The stone type will determine the panel thickness, limestone/granite typically 20 or 30mm thick. Sandstones are 40, 50 or 60mm thick. Stones are sourced from the UK and Europe.
Kerf – The kerf fixing is a gravity based fixing method. Total Stone panels arrive at site with a 5mm wide x 20mm deep channel grooved into the top and bottom edges, the channels are retained mechanically with our TI Tracking and horizontal rail carrier system.
The TI tracking system compromises of horizontal carrier rails, an EPDM anti rattle gasket and divider clip designed to keep uniform vertical joints across the building. The TI Tracking is set out according to the panel module heights on site before any panels are delivered to site. The larger the panel height the more cost effective the system is.
Undercut Anchor – This is used to support soffit panels interfacing with the kerf system & for portrait layout panels where rail centres need to be extended greater than 600mm.
