Porcelain and natural stone
Stone textures and precise joints
How to choose
Panel dimensions, thickness, weight and retention method determine support requirements. Select samples and fixings together.
DINA BUILD · MATERIALS & SUPPLY
Facade cladding
From the cladding finish to the substrate anchor: materials and accessories selected as a coordinated facade system.
Choose materials
Cladding materials
Fibre cement and terracotta
Planes, colour and facade rhythm
How to choose
For flat or profiled facades. Confirm edge treatment, holes, sliding points and movement joints in product documentation.
Metal cassettes and composites
Metal surfaces
How to choose
Check metal thickness, coating, core composition, corrosion resistance and fire documentation for the actual panel.
Clinker, timber and render
Combining architectural finishes
How to choose
These require different fixing and protection systems. Clinker uses its specified support or adhesive system; timber and render have distinct substrate and maintenance requirements.

Cladding fixing close-up
Ventilated facade assemblyDiagrams & details
Brackets transfer loads to the substrate and rails support cladding. Insulation, protective layers and fixings form one system. Membranes are used where required and permitted; cavity dimensions and airflow at junctions follow the design. СП 522.1325800.2023 ↗
Substrate and fixingsDiagrams & details
Concrete and solid masonry
Assess actual strength, condition, edges, joints and cracks. Anchors are selected for substrate and load, not solely the material name.
Aerated and hollow blocks
Use anchors documented for the actual block. Chemical anchors or mesh sleeves are not universal solutions for all porous substrates.
Weak or mixed substrates
Survey the substrate and test fixings as required by the design and system. Floor-edge fixing needs structural justification and detailed checks.
Visible and concealed fixings
Clips, rivets, screws, undercut anchors, hooks and adhesive solutions are used only with compatible cladding. Fixed and sliding points must be coordinated.
Design checksDiagrams & details
- Building height and shape, wind loads, corner zones and cladding weight.
- Support and anchor strength, deflection, metal compatibility and thermal movement.
- Whole-system fire performance, required fire barriers and suitability of every component for the building, supported by documentation.
- Window, plinth, parapet, drainage and ventilation junctions, plus maintenance access.
Heavy cladding does not determine a single mandatory support metal. Material, sections, bracket spacing and fixings follow structural design and system documentation.
