Dry Stone Installation

Natural stone is one of the materials that have been used for construction for a long time due to the durability, resistance and aesthetic qualities it gives to the building. In the twentieth century, since whispers of the use of reinforced concrete structures heard, the implementation of natural stone changed only as the final coatings in the building. In fact, natural stone’s implementation role in buildings was not diminished, but today, its unique features, such as authenticity and spirit to the building as a final coating material, are widely used.

Therefore, there is a wide range of options for choosing the type of stone and its final cover, which make it possible to use a wide variety of facade coatings. Throughout the evolution process, over the years, the rock facade coverage has been accompanied by significant advances in the type of stone panels fitting to substructure. Direct or indirect stone bonding methods are available today and there are good solutions for using any kind of rock in the building. But even with the calculation of rock resistance characters in some of recent buildings, some damages have been observed in rock facade coating

Any damage to a building can turn into big problems. But when these damages occur in building’s facade, the situation becomes much more serious. Damages to building facades in most cases distort the aesthetic qualities of the entire building, and Causes problems such as moisture penetration and damage building’s insulation.

In use of stone coating in implementing the building external view, it should not be forgotten that it is possible that stone removed and dropped from the façade, it could endanger the lives of the people. Therefore, damages and deformations in the external view can be very serious and this damage and its high importance can be created for very small reasons.

Often, these execution methods are not implemented properly. Because these methods are not well-known and also financial problems, lack of sufficient training for the instructors, or lack of adequate supervision.

Inappropriate use of stone coating, using only one known executive technique for its previous history, may make the final output undesirable. These issues seriously affect on use of natural stones in design of the building, and provide inaccurate information about stone’s durability and its production process to its main users.

A large number of unexpected changes in apparent and functional performance the roughing of the rocks over the lifetime of a building is not directly related to the rock itself, but due to the selection of inappropriate rock type or incorrect fitting for cabling systems. This type of fault eliminates the potential benefits of rock facture in general and imposes high costs on renovation for the owners of these buildings.
