1.0 RECOGNITION

Zement Stone Manufactured Stone Veneer has been evaluated for use as a wall covering in compliance with Section 1405.2 of the IBC and Section R703.7 of the IRC over exterior walls of wood studs, cold-formed steel framing or concrete masonry. The veneer has been evaluated for composition, strength, durability, thermal resistance and installation. The Zement Stone Manufactured Stone Veneer is recognized as a satisfactory alternative to the weather coverings prescribed in the following codes and regulations:

  • 2015, 2012, 2009 and 2006 International Building Code® (IBC)

2.0   LIMITATIONS

Use of Zement Stone Manufactured Stone Veneer recognized in this report is subject to the following limitations:

  • “Expansion or control joints used to limit the effect of differential movement of precast stone veneer supports shall be specified by the architect, designer or veneer manufacturer, in that order. Consideration shall be given to movement caused by temperature changes, shrinkage, creep and deflection.” [AC51]
  • “For installation in accordance with the IBC, supporting wall construction shall be designed to support the weight of the veneer system. Horizontal framing members, such as lintels and headers, which support precast stone veneer, shall be designed to limit deflection to l/600 of the span.”[AC51]
  • “In jurisdictions adopting the IRC, where the seismic provisions of Section 2.2 apply, the average weight of the wall supporting the precast stone veneer, including the weight of the veneer system, shall be determined. When this weight exceeds the applicable limits of IRC Section

301.2.2.2.1, an engineered design of the wall construction shall be performed in accordance with IRC Section R301.1.3.” [AC51]

  • “When installed on exterior stud walls, the veneer units shall be installed a minimum of 4 inches (102 mm) above the earth, or a minimum of 2 inches (51 mm) above paved areas, or a minimum of ½ inch (12 mm) above exterior walking surfaces, which are supported by the same foundation that supports the exterior wall” in accordance with 2015 and 2012 IBC Section 1405.10.1.3 or 2015 and 2012 IRC Section R703.12.1, as
  • Zement Stone Manufactured Stone Veneer is produced in Littleton, Colorado
 

3.0   PRODUCT USE

  • The backing for Zement Stone “adhered veneer shall be of concrete, masonry, steel framing or wood framing.” [Section 1404.4 of the IBC] The veneer units shall be adhered to cement plaster, concrete or concrete masonry backings.
