This part of BS8298 gives recommendations for the design, installation and maintenance of traditional handset external cladding of natural stone held directly to a structural background by metal fixings. It covers: the provisions necessary for the cladding to perform its function satisfactorily; the materials and methods most frequently used for stonework; and the use of thermal insulation behind external cladding. Loadbearing cladding or cladding held only by adhesion is not included, nor is any type of cladding supported or held in position around the perimeter of stones or series of stones by metal framing. NOTE The general principles for cladding also apply to soffits and sloping surfaces. This part of BS8298 is to be read in conjunction with BS8298‑1. Different cladding and lining methods are covered in the other parts of BS8298 (see Foreword).
