How to install artificial stone on the EIFS façade system?

Facade of aerated concrete 400mm d500, facade foam Knauf 70mm glued and nailed on the dowels, made a reinforcing layer with a mesh 165g. It was all prepared for decorative plaster, but decided to partially make facing artificial stone.

I've read that for such coverage is necessary to perform 2 reinforcing layer: the first with a mesh and dubbing and the second with a grid 165g overlapping, and then the stone on the adhesive. What to do in my case, if there is already a layer of mesh 165g? Make a second layer of paneling and do it with an overlap?

There are also welded columns lined with 16mm cement-wood sheets. On them, what reinforcing layer to do or just glue immediately stone?

A cladding system is different from a finishing plaster system.

Anything you've said is out of line with the technology.

The differences are:

  • - A different adhesive for gluing the insulation
  • - different glue for the base layer
  • - The thickness of the base layer is greater
  • - mesh ONE!
  • - dowelling through the mesh

Cement-bonded particleboard – why is it not necessary to make a base layer on it?

That there is a risk, I understand. Would a second layer of panelled mesh and additional doweling through the second layer reduce the risks? And should I overlap the panelling? Should I do the base layer with armored mesh as well?

In theory, if you make the base according to the technology, it's okay. Reinforced mesh overlap, armored mesh is not necessary. Chipboard is not a stable base (in the instructions installation with a gap of 3-5 mm) The base layer is needed to compensate for the linear expansion of both the base (particleboard) and the cladding
