    The dry installation method is a mechanical method of installing natural stone cladding using embedded metal anchors and ties. It allows for expansion and contraction of the stone in varying weather conditions. A 30-45mm gap is left between the stone cladding and wall surface, providing insulation. The method involves selecting suitable bracket materials, preparing the installation site by drilling holes, and then securing the stone to the wall using pins and brackets in a systematic process.

    • Dry installation method
    which is also known as
    mechanical installation
    method uses embedded
    metal anchors and ties
    for the connection
    purpose. The stone
    required for this method
    must be thick because
    the method requires
    drilling which could
    increase the occurrence
    of cracks.

    Dry Installation Method Of Natural Stone


    Cladding
    Advantages Of Dry Installation Method:

    • The dry cladding method is safe and it prevails the stone from falling off for
    years.
    • This method allow for expansion and contraction of stone in extreme
    weather conditions.
    • The dry cladding method creates a cleft of around 30 to 45 mm (1”-1.5”) in
    between face of the wall and stone covering, providing a layer of air
    cushion that acts as a thermal barrier.
    • The appearance of stone used in dry cladding work looks spotless and
    aesthetically pleasing.
    • It is a time saving procedure
    Advantages Of Dry Installation Method:
    • The dry cladding method is safe and chances of stone falling down at a later date is
    remote.

    • Method allow for expansion and contraction of stone in extreme weather conditions.

    • The dry cladding method creates a gap of around 30 to 45 mm in between back wall and
    stone lining , providing a layer of air cushion that acts as a thermal barrier.

    • The appearance of stone used in dry cladding work looks aesthetically pleasing. The
    stone fixed with mortar may change in colour due to absorption of water from back mortar
    layer.
    There are chances for the occurrence of cracks on
    substrate.

    It is an expensive method.

    Requires perfection and alertness because of the


    Disadvantages Of Dry following
    Installation Method:
    If the holes are not drilled properly then it could waste
    material.

    While drilling one must be alert otherwise it could be


    harmful for you.

    It requires high skilled labour


    Selection Of Material

    Clean all the dirt from the surface of
    the wall.

    Step 2: Site
    Preparation
    If the wall is constructed freshly make
    sure it is properly dried up and the
    surface is not friable so that the pin
    could be firmly fixed in the hole
    drilled.
    Locate Accurately locate the position of the hole

    You can start either from the left or the right corner of the wall leaving a
    Start minimum gap of 2mm (0.07”)

    Drill a hole of appropriate depth and thickness according to the size of pin.
    Drill
    Step 3: Standard dimension of hole can be 80mm – 100mm (3” – 4”)

    Installation Insert Insert the expansion bolt into the hole.

    Method Insert Insert the pin in the angle to match the hole in the cladding stone.

    Place Place the first natural stone and tighten the bolts and pin properly.

    Leave Leave a clear space of at least 2mm between every 2 natural stone.

    Clad Similarly clad the entire wall.
