Innovative stone facade system launched
T.I.Dynamic Facades launch its innovative stone facade system, the Aerolite range.
Using lightweight, reinforcing technology, Aerolite makes traditionally premium natural stone facings more affordable, by reducing the amount of material required and increasing the efficiency of installation Compared with traditional stone cladding systems, where the material has to be approximately 40mm thick to deliver the required performance, Aerolite enables the stone to be sliced to between 6mm and 15mm thick
