This part of BS 8298 gives recommendations for the design, installation and maintenance of mechanically fixed facing units of natural stone as a cladding held to a structural background by metal fixings.

As the “General” part of the BS 8298 series, this standard covers aspects of the other parts of the series, i.e.:

  1. traditional handset external cladding;

  2. stone-faced pre-cast concrete cladding systems;

  3. rainscreen and stone on metal frame cladding systems; and

  4. internal linings.

NOTE 1 The terms and definitions given apply to all parts of BS 8298.

Recommendations are given regarding movement of the structure, which might occur for one or more reasons, so that such dimensional changes can be accommodated.

NOTE 2 The general principles for cladding also apply to soffits and sloping surfaces.

BS 8298 does not cover stone veneer composite panels or the use of stone cladding as permanent formwork to in-situ concrete.
