It uses metal tabs at the perimeter of the StonePly and screws through the tabs at the joints. The anchor plate attachment system is a screw attachment. If the wall is uneven, adjustable angles and Z clips are recommended. The StonePly panels have Z clips mounted to them and the panels are hung by the interlocking Z clips. Z clips are then attached to the wall with stainless steel screws. For exterior cladding, the wall is waterproofed. The most popular method of attachment is the Z clip. The Z clips attach to the face of the angle. An angle is attached to the wall, the second angle is plumbed and leveled and then attaches to the first. Similar to the Z clip system, the adjustable angles allow for the depth of the cavity to be adjusted to allow for variations in the wall, allow for insulation and allow the stone façade to be hung straight and true. If you are detailing a façade wall, the Z clip system with adjustable angles is our most popular option.
