GLEN-GERY CORP., Wyomissing, Pa., introduces StoneFit with DryFit Technology®, a manufactured-stone cladding solution with patented tongue-and-groove panels that interlock the stone pieces together without the use of mortar.
The panels are mechanically secured with attachment brackets that can be drilled directly into structural sheathing, regardless of stud location. The attachment brackets assist in creating a water-management system and result in a high wind-load resistance. The unique tongue-and-groove system is dual-purpose, it interlocks panels together and eliminates wall vibration.
The panels are part of a larger wall system– the StoneFit Wall System® — a complete stone drainage-wall system that includes a custom engineered starter angle and Glen-Gery branded Weather-Resistive Barrier and Drainage Mat.
“StoneFit can be installed year-round, in half the time of conventional adhered veneer products, which reduces installation cost and opens up new channels for our distribution network,” said Chuck Baer, Glen-Gery stone product manager. “We are really excited about the opportunity this product presents.”
The stone product is currently available in two colors under the Tightstack profile: Maple Ridge, an earth tone brown to tan range, and Glacier Frost, a subtle blue to grey tone. Color coordinating starter angles and matching accessories are also available in two colors that complement the stone.
The product is backed by Glen-Gery’s 50-year product warranty, which ensures product durability and color longevity.
With 10 manufacturing plants and 10 company owned distribution locations supporting builders, remodelers, contractors, architects, designers and end-users, Glen-Gery is a key operating company within Ibstock PLC, UK.
