HOW DO YOU INSTALL CAST STONE?

Leave a reply

The AAS team provides detailed CAD drawings to explain how to install the architectural cast stone.

The settings plan describes drawings for different sections with specific descriptions to hang the stone. Customers get comprehensive installing planning support and drawings that show how to attach every stone panel. This is integrated into the AAS methodology for the project-specific custom fabrication of the architectural stone products.

KERF SLOT WITH STRAP ANCHORS: TECHNIQUE FOR INSTALLATION

This video shows details of a very commonly used technique for anchoring cast stone (dry-vibrant tamp), architectural wet-pour precast, or GFRC (Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete) panels.

The AAS design and engineering process includes details for installation anchorage to confirm the final design aesthetic in the initial review, design assist process. With detailed drawings and coordination with masons and contractor, installation completes very smoothly.

 

The seamless integration of manufactured architectural stone panels makes it much simpler to design exterior cladding, and veneer applications with monolithic design accent.
