Design and implementation of stone facade in different buildings

The design and implementation of stone facades for various office, commercial, residential, etc. buildings is done. But most of the buildings use stone facade which are office or commercial. Because more attractiveness is given to the facade of these buildings, which attracts human attention.

Undoubtedly, in your city or province, you have come across many office and commercial buildings that have a beautiful stone facade. This type of building facade is used for all buildings, but they are most beautiful in office and commercial buildings. The design and implementation of the stone facade, which has become common today, has a beautiful appearance and the cost of its implementation is relatively low.

You only need to choose the right stone for the facade of the building and design and implement the stone facade in the building according to your taste. Since the stone facade is highly resistant to atmospheric factors and is also resistant to pressure and dimensional changes, it is chosen by many people for implementation in the facade of the building. Of course, it is necessary to pay attention to the principles and the correct method to implement the stone facade, otherwise it can bring many risks.

In the following, we will get acquainted with some popular and widely used stone facade materials, each of which has favorable characteristics.

  Materials for design and implementation of stone facade

Types of stone facade materials and their features

To install any kind of stone facade, it is necessary to use the right materials. The general materials that should be considered for the implementation of the stone facade are the special stone mortar, the order for the preparation of stone parts, and the metal frame for the execution of the stone facade substructure. In general, there are various examples of facade stones in the market that can be used to implement a stone facade. Among the examples of stone facade materials, we should mention the following:

  1. Granite facade

Seng Khara or granite is one of the examples of materials that are used to design and implement stone facades. This sample of stones has a great variety of colors and about 50% of them are internal igneous rocks. Among the examples of colors that granite stones have, we should mention red, white, black, gray and green colors.

This type of stone has a polished state and therefore gives a special beauty to the facade of the building. But since the cost of extracting, cutting and polishing them is high, they are usually used for special buildings.

  1. Marble facade

  Marble is another example of stone facade design and implementation materials, which has unique transparency and beauty. This example of stones, known as Chinese stone, has a wide variety of colors and can be used for building facades.

    1. Travertine stone facade

    Travertine stones, which are actually a type of light and porous limestone, are produced and marketed in white, cream, red, walnut, lemon, etc. colors. These stones have high resistance and are an excellent choice for the facade of buildings. In fact, we must say that travertine stones are one of the most widely used and popular stones used in building facades.

    1. Sandstones

    Among other examples of materials for the design and implementation of stone facades, we should mention sandstones. These stones, which are also known as Sandstone, are among the sedimentary stones that have a rough and soft texture. Sandstones are well resistant to frost and are considered a good choice for stone facades. Because it is possible to implement them without using non-ferrous tools.

    Important elements for designing and implementing a stone facade

    To implement the stone facade, it is necessary to pay attention to some important elements. Since the implementation of stone facade is very sensitive and accurate, it will be necessary to prepare a stone facade map. In this map, the thickness of the desired stone, the angle and arc, the shape and the prominence of the stone should be examined. Among other elements, we should mention the chassis.

    In fact, the stone facade chassis helps the building bear the weight of the facade and leads to the facade maintaining its flexibility during an earthquake. Since the design and implementation of the stone facade is usually associated with curves and protrusions, it is necessary to pay special attention to the elements of Rabbits Kari. In fact, with this work, the occurrences of the stone can be implemented more accurately.

    So paying attention to these elements can create a higher precision in the implementation of the stone facade so that a beautiful facade can be implemented for the building.

Types of stone facade design styles

There are many styles for designing and implementing a stone facade, among these styles, classic style and modern style should be mentioned. In general, in buildings with a stone facade, you can use any of these styles depending on your taste. Of course, it should be noted that the sensitivity of each of these stone facade styles is very high and must be done with great care.

In the classic style, you can expect a beautiful and lasting view. But it is recommended that this style of stone facade be used less in earthquake-prone areas. While the modern stone facade is simpler than the classic style and many materials are used. It is possible to increase the beauty and attractiveness of the building by implementing a modern stone facade. For this reason, it is a common and widely used style.

How to install and implement stone facades in buildings

Three common methods can be used to design and implement a stone facade. The first method, which is known as the slurry method, is common in Iran. In this method, the mortar is poured on the back of the stone and after the stone dries, it sticks to the facade of the building. It should be noted that in this method, after installing the stone, it is not possible to change or restore it.

The second method to implement the stone facade is the dry method. In this method, it is necessary to draw the front of the chassis first and then insert it into the chassis by installing pin clips on the back of the stone. In the third method, you can also use a scoop or stone grooving. Usually, this method is not used to design and implement a stone facade with travertine and granite stones. Because after some time, there is a possibility that the stone will separate from the facade.

But this installation method can be used to implement a stone facade with other stones. Because it will increase the life span of the facade of the building and will have an impact on the cost of implementing the stone facade. Therefore, it can be considered a suitable method to implement stone facade.
