The production process of stone cladding requires a lot of manual labor and technology. These things enable the factory to produce high-quality stone cladding that will offer great use for a long time. If you are planning to invest in stone wall cladding, you must familiarize yourself with the production process.
Here is a complete guide that will help you understand how stone wall covering is produced.
Sourcing The Stone
The first step to producing quality natural stone wall cladding is to source the raw material, i.e., the stone. There are various natural stones are procured to ensure the highest quality natural stone cladding panels. They are usually sourced from local quarries to make the production process much easier.
Cutting Of The Stone
Once the stones come to the factory, they are in their raw state. That is why manufacturers have to cut the stones and polish them to ensure a finished look. The blocks of stones are cut into different slabs of unique measurements.
After they are cut, the slabs are polished using the best technology and precision equipment. The key is to cut them into standard sizes so that they can easily be installed on the panel or cladding.
Setting The Stones
As the stones are cut, the panel or cladding is filled with cement, and one by one, stones are added to it. We either use cement or glue, depending on the type of panel we want to create. Cement-backed stones are heavier, and they are also much thicker.
On the other hand, glued panels are lightweight and less thick than cement-backed stones. The workers do all of this by their hands as they need to ensure that the slate stone cladding fits seamlessly with one another and panel looks cohesive and uniform.
Stored And Packed
After the panels are created, they are packed into cartons. Once all the cartons have been packed, they are loaded onto the plywood crates that hold these slabs with sturdiness. The plywood crates are packed with foam sheets to guarantee that the stone doesn’t get damaged during the shipment.
Then, each of these crates is loaded onto the container. Once the container is full, the stone slabs are taken to the supplier. The entire shipment process is done with a lot of care and quality control to guarantee that you get the best Z stone wall cladding in no time.
