Code of practice for the design and installation of natural stone cladding and lining -- Rainscreen and stone on metal frame cladding systems
This part of BS 8298 gives recommendations for the design and fixing of *individually‑supported panels of natural stone*, with or without an intermediate metal framing system, as part of a rainscreen cladding system, including vertical elements and sloping elements (i.e. soffits) of the facade, as well as soffit and coping units.
It covers:
the provisions necessary for the stone cladding to perform its function satisfactorily; and
the methods most frequently used for assessing the suitability of the stone.
It does not cover aggregate/agglomerated stone, stone veneer composite (e.g. stone on honeycomb, stone on ceramic, stone on a lightweight concrete) or terracotta panels used as external cladding.
It does not cover thermal insulation or the intermediate metal framing system.
