Comparison of Dry Hanging and Wet Pasting for Stone Installation

Advantages and Disadvantages

Method	Advantages	Disadvantages
Dry Hanging	✅ Excellent freeze-thaw resistance ✅ No alkali return ✅ Strong shock resistance	❌ Increases building load due to additional materials ❌ Total thickness after construction is at least 150mm, consuming space ❌ High cost
Wet Pasting	✅ Total thickness is only 40-50mm, saving space ✅ Lower cost	❌ Poor freeze-thaw resistance ❌ Prone to alkali return ❌ Weak earthquake resistance

Choosing Between Dry Hanging and Wet Pasting

Dry hanging is typically used outdoors and in high-end, large-area spaces such as lobbies and halls.
Wet pasting is commonly used in indoor spaces like bathrooms, where cost savings and space efficiency are priorities.
Dry sticking (using two-component adhesive) is preferred for furniture with ledgestone wall slate veneer due to its convenience, affordability, and space-saving benefits. However, it is not suitable for large-scale construction.
For tall walls (above 2m) and large ledgestone wall slate layouts, dry hanging is the most suitable method.

Challenges in Ledgestone Wall Slate Installation

Common Issues

Non-standard adhesive usage – Some adhesives have a high deformation coefficient, leading to instability.
Thick-layer application – Traditional single-side scraping results in a thick adhesive layer of 3-4 cm, which is inefficient.
Dense seam splicing – If stone slabs are installed without expansion joints, cracks and stress issues may arise.

Control Measures

Use high-quality adhesives – Choose C1-level adhesives or higher to meet the strength requirements for wall stone paving.
Adopt double-sided thin-layer paving –
- Apply adhesive on both the wall and the ledgestone wall slate.
- Fully knead and press the stone to ensure 100% adhesion.
- Keep the adhesive layer thickness within 2 cm.
Proper joint spacing –
- Flexible caulking agents should be used for lightweight partition walls.
- Expansion joints must be reserved for large-area installations to prevent cracking.

By carefully selecting the installation method and following these control measures, ledgestone wall slate can be installed efficiently while maintaining durability and aesthetic quality.
