StonePly Helps Keep Deadlines
Design Speed
The StonePly system of building cladding takes less time to design than traditional masonry. StonePly cladding panels offer designers and engineers pre-engineered strength capabilities and pre-designed anchoring systems. This eliminates the variables of solid stone cladding that can slow down the design and engineering process. In addition, StonePly offers a high degree of engineering and design assistance to speed the cladding design process.
Fabrication Speed
StonePly panels and components can be pre-fabricated as other work progresses. The stone cladding panels can arrive at the site prepared and ready to install. As a single source supplier, StonePly cladding panels help maintain the schedule of the project.
Installation Speed
With its high strength and low weight of around 112 lbs per 4' x 8' sheet, installers can quickly and easily install StonePly stone cladding. The lightweight of StonePly allows crews to cover more area faster than with heavy, thick stone cladding materials. Fast erection of the cladding will lessen weather and material damage during construction, reduces the contractor's risks and costs, and gets the finished building to market and earning income faster.
All Weather, Year-Round Installation
StonePly stone panels are installed using Z-clips or screws and do not require field applied mortar or epoxy. Because StonePly cladding panels are fabricated under factory controlled conditions and use no mortar or grout for installation, they can be installed year-round. Harsh winter weather and rain have minimal impact on the production and installation schedule.
