PERFORMANCE OF STONE FACADES
K.N. Burn

The discussion that follows is an expanded version of the talk
presented by Ken Burn during the Building Science Insight program.
Stone is said to represent the epitome of durability and since there
is a reviving interest in the use of stone, particularly as a facade
material, it seems appropriate to gather material pertaining to this
technology and to present an update on historical development and
some fundamentals of the use of stone on our new buildings. This
presentation is of particular interest to designers, as it brings to
the fore the little-known problems associated with the use of stone
as a veneer.
