Primary Substructures:
System H
System V

Secondary substructures:
UB System
System OM

Challenge

The cladding consists, on the one hand, of Sto-Ventec plaster base panels with a textured finish and, on the other hand, of limestone slabs used as 30-mm-thick base cladding, a 100-mm-thick bench, window sills, and 20-mm-thick bonded slabs sanded to K220 grit. The substructure must be designed to eliminate thermal bridges.

Solution

The various substructures required are designed to minimize material usage and installation effort, allow for expansion joints without issues, and ensure an efficient installation process. This requires close coordination between the stone supplier, the designer, and the facade contractor. A detailed structural analysis identifies potential weak points and ultimately leads to the use of optimized, specializedbrackets.
