Fixing of the stone

Fixing of the stone back to the main structure


The fixing of natural stone can be generally divided into two categories,
  1. Support - this is usually at each floor level in the form of stainless steel corbels, or plates fixed to a building structure of concrete or steel and
  2. Restraint - of every unit of stone, usually in the form of stainless steel 'ties', or 'cramps'.

The requirements of every project are different, and so there is no 'definitive rules', which can be applied to all natural stone projects. contact us
