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 description to hang the stone. Customers get comprehensive installing planning support and drawings that show how to attach every stone panel to be used in the project. This is integrated in the AAS methodology for the project specific custom fabrication of the architectural stone products.

The most commonly used technique is kerf slot with strap anchors. Learn more in this blog post with embedded video.
