Description

Generix is a cost-effective stone rainscreen system comprising of 20–30 mm natural stone cladding panels with a 90 degree horizontal kerf. The system offers clients, architects and contractors the option to achieve a natural stone façade whilst retaining the additional benefits of utilizing a thinner stone panel, which include reduced weight and environmental impact, faster construction times and minimized costs.


Across the UK there is a rich and varied history of architectural styles, many of which incorporate natural stone, making the Generix stone cladding system a suitable choice to complement and harmonize with local vernacular. Backed by CWCT testing, this stone façade system is suitable for a number of applications including new builds, re-clads and projects in sensitive locations such as conservation areas.


Features and benefits:

  • Generix stone cladding is certified non-combustible.
  • Fully CWCT tested for air leakage, dynamic pressure, water penetration and impact.
  • Available in thicknesses of 20 and 30 mm stone.
  • Standard size is 900 mm long by 600 mm high, is larger sizes are needed please contact the manufacturer.
  • Typically 2.5/3 times faster to install than traditional handset stone cladding.
  • Joint sizes are typically 6 mm vertical and horizontal (horizontal is always 6 mm, however the vertical can be customized).
