The last twenty years have seen the rise of two very common façade types – glass and stone. When compared, the latter is simpler to design but the erection is time-consuming and maintenance a true headache. Additionally, the system design of a stone-clad building envelope using the current system of anchors and clamps can be improved, particularly relating to aesthetics, design flexibility, lifecycle maintenance, as well as using an engineered and third-party approved system.
Driven by a need to provide effective and innovative solutions for construction professionals, Hilti introduces a novel approach to cladding with stone panels using an undercut anchor, which is as simple as hanging and dismounting photo frame on wall.
