Sintered stone has become a preferred material for exterior wall applications due to its durability, aesthetics, and weather resistance. The dry-hanging system is one of the most reliable installation methods, ensuring a secure and long-lasting facade. This article provides a comprehensive overview of sintered stone dry-hanging systems, their applications, and key installation considerations.
The dry-hanging system is a widely used technique for installing sintered stone panels on building facades. It generally falls into two categories:
Back Bolt Dry-Hanging System
Prefabricated Beam or Frame-Type Dry-Hanging System
Suitable for low-rise buildings (below 50 meters)
One of the most traditional and commonly used methods
Requires precise cutting and drilling of anchor holes in the sintered stone panels
Best suited for panels with a 15mm thickness; for 12mm panels, a fiber mesh must be applied on the back for reinforcement
Joint width between panels should be 8mm to 12mm, depending on the panel size
Adhesives and foam strips should ideally be sourced locally by the customer
Used in high-rise buildings up to 300 meters
Provides a more structured and integrated installation
Often pre-designed for enhanced load-bearing performance
Offers better resistance to wind pressure and seismic activity
Blueprint Verification
It is recommended that customers prepare detailed design drawings, and the factory should recheck them before production.
Reinforcement with Keel Framework
Large panels (80cm-100cm width) require a reinforcing horizontal keel every 80cm-100cm.
Standard 600x1200mm panels need two horizontal reinforcing keels, one at the top and one at the bottom.
Smaller panel sizes require more keels, increasing the overall structural cost.
Export & Packaging Recommendations
To reduce the risk of damage during transportation, back bolt installations should be completed on-site instead of pre-installed in the factory.
Additional spare panels should be included in shipments to account for potential breakage during transit.
On-Site Technical Guidance
If technical support is required, on-site guidance services are available.
The cost typically includes airfare, accommodation, and a daily fee of ¥800-¥1200 per person.
For professional construction teams, a training period of 3-7 days is usually sufficient.
Sintered stone dry-hanging systems are widely used in various commercial and residential settings, including:
Museums & Libraries
Art & Cultural Centers
Commercial Buildings & Shopping Malls
High-End Residential Projects
Low-Rise Office Buildings
The dry-hanging system is a superior installation method for sintered stone exterior walls, ensuring both safety and aesthetic appeal. Whether using the traditional back bolt method for low-rise buildings or a prefabricated beam system for high-rises, proper planning and execution are key to achieving a durable and visually striking facade.
