EXTERIOR STONE AND TILE CLADDING: Inspection, Troubleshooting, and Testing
A cracked panel, stained wall, or hollow-sounding tile is the beginning of an investigation. Finding out what it means requires understanding the assembly behind the surface.
Exterior Stone and Tile Cladding: Inspection, Troubleshooting, and Testing is a practical manual for inspectors, consultants, engineers, architects, contractors, and building owners investigating exterior cladding problems.
Across 31 chapters, the manual examines adhered tile, anchored stone masonry veneer, mechanically attached stone panels, and framed ventilated facades. It explains how to trace support and restraint, investigate water entry and concealed drainage, document movement, preserve samples, and choose tests that answer defined questions.
