* designates measurements by laboratory ** as per manufacturer Fenestration Testing Laboratory Inc, does not have, nor does it intend to acquire or will acquire, a financial interest in any company manufacturing or distributing products tested or labeled by the Fenestration Testing Laboratory Inc. Fenestration Testing Laboratory Inc is not owned, operated or controlled by any company manufacturing or distributing products it tests or labels. Drawings referenced in this document are an integral part of this report, therefore, are required on distributing this test report. Test results obtained represent the actual value of the tested specimens and do not constitute opinion, endorsement or certification by the laboratory. This test report is considered the exclusive property of the client named herein and is applicable to the sample tested. This report may not be reproduced without the approval of Fenestration Testing Laboratory, Inc. At conclusion of the above tests, there was no apparent damage to fasteners and after impact there was no penetration to the panel. Test specimens were covered with 1.5 mil plastic sheeting to seal from air leakage when load tests were performed, however this had no effect on above results. |
Remarks |
Detailed drawings and digital video disc of testing will be retained by Fenestration Testing Laboratory for a period of five years from the original test date, and test report for a period of ten years. Due to the code cycle change of four years, it is recommended that this report be evaluated during the lifespan of this document. This product was tested in accordance with the Florida Building Code (2017) TAS 201, 202 and 203, with the deviation that only one sample was tested. Sample tested meets Section 1626 (impact and cycling) of this Code. Testing was conducted as per instructions received from the manufacturers company representative and unsigned test plan/drawings dated October 31st, 2018. |

This sample was installed onto an 18-gauge metal stud wall using an extruded aluminum track, item 1. The tracks are full length and located from bottom at 4”, 28”, 52”, 60 3/8” and 108 3/8”. The tracks are fastened to each stud using one NO. 12 by 1 ½” HWH SDS with neoprene washer. The panels have one 8” long extruded aluminum track (item 1) located from left 4”, 26”, 48”, 70”, 92”, 114”, 122 3/8”, 146 3/8” and 170 3/8”, from bottom 4”, 28”, 52”, 60 3/8”, 84 3/8”, and 108 3/8”. The tracks are fastened to the panels using one **Tee-Nut with ¼”-20 female thread fully bonded into a 7/8” hole using epoxy adhesive and one ¼-20 by 5/8” TH MS. |

Stone Panels USA Installation System on Metal Studs
The most common system used is the interlocking channel system. It’s working with the exterior as well as with the interior applications of the stone panels.
The system may be adjusted accordingly to the size of the panels. This gives us a great benefit: the stone panels may be dismantled and reused if needed. They are durable and safe from breakage.
The most economical way to install the stone panels is by attaching them to the walls or the framing structure with adhesive material.
In addition to the fact that we have such an ultra light product we can make some breakthroughs regarding the restrictions of the installation areas. This is no longer our traditional stone which was massive and only could be used can on walls, floors, windows and tables, now we can even put it on ceilings and is perfectly safe.
