Why Stonelam’s lightweight property makes it ideal for high rise buildings

Stonelam’s lightweight building facades reduce these inertial forces dramatically. During seismic events, the reduced mass translates into lower lateral forces acting on connections and anchoring systems. This isn’t merely theoretical. Buildings employing Stonelam facades have demonstrated superior performance in simulated seismic testing, with connection stresses measuring 40% lower than those with traditional stone cladding.
