On retrofits that is usually the difference between a cladding job and a structural job. We supply weight and fixing loads for your engineer to check against the specific assembly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"faq-card\">\n<summary>How do flexible stone panels cope with exterior weather?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"faq-stack__answer\">\n<p>The panel is waterproof through its body with low water absorption, so water does not get in and spall the edges from cold. Colour comes from UV-stable mineral pigment rather than a printed film, and the formulation stays stable from -40 to +80 degrees Celsius. Tell us your climate zone and we will confirm what testing data applies with your submittal pack.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"faq-card\">\n<summary>What is the fire position on a residential exterior wall?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"faq-stack__answer\">\n<p>The surface is tested to ASTM E84 Class A, and the test report goes with your submittal. Exterior assemblies above 18 m are judged differently in most codes, so for those we advise coming in at concept stage to review the applicable NFPA 285 route for your build-up rather than assuming a panel certificate is sufficient on its own.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-col\">\n<details class=\"faq-card\">\n<summary>Can flexible stone panels be installed over an existing finish without removing it?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"faq-stack__answer\">\n<p>Yes, where the existing render, tile or fibre cement is sound and flat. The panels bond directly over it, which removes the tear-out, skip and substrate make-good lines from the programme and keeps the scaffold programme short on occupied buildings. Areas that are hollow or delaminated are cut out locally rather than stripping the whole elevation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"faq-card\">\n<summary>Will 300 units of facade match in colour?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"faq-stack__answer\">\n<p>Each phase is produced as a single colour batch, and we keep physical reference boards plus the colour recipe for at least five years after the batch runs. That covers a second tower starting later, and replacement panels ordered years after handover for an insurance or maintenance repair.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"faq-card\">\n<summary>What lead time and minimum order applies to a facade package?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"faq-stack__answer\">\n<p>For a facade phase the minimum order is 300 square metres on standard runs and 500 square metres on custom finishes. A first order takes 15 to 20 working days and a repeat order 10 to 15 working days, depending on volume and finish. Samples reach most markets in 5 to 7 days.
