Abstract
A stone cladding system for building has a support frame formed by a plurality spaced-apart upright mullions fixed to an exterior of a building by anchcor bracke with a number of horizontal cladding panel support rails mounted in vertically space apart rows on the mullions. Each stone cladding panel is mounted between adjacent pair of vertically spaced-apart rails with a bottom of the cladding pa seated on the lowermost rail and a top of the cladding panel secured to the uppermo rail by a pair of retaining clips. A bottom of each stone cladding panel is fu supported along its length by the lowermost rail.
Claims21
A stone cladding system including:
- a plurality of stone cladding panels secured to a building structure form a wall by mounting means engagable between tile build structure and each panel,
- mounting means for each cladding panel comprising a pair of claddi panel support rails, namely an upper rail and a lower rail,
- means for mounting said rails in a substantially horizontal orientati and vertically spaced-apart on the building structure, the rails bei mounted upon a plurality of spaced-apart vertical mullions havi associated anchor means for supporting the mullions in an upri orientation on the building structure,
- a bottom of the cladding panel engaging and seating on the lower rai
