Tired of crane rentals and heavy machinery eating your project budget? JustOne Flexible Stone is rewriting the rules of stone cladding with labor-friendly installation that cuts costs without compromising quality. Here’s how:
⚖️ The Weight Revolution
Traditional stone cladding demands cranes, lifts, and teams to handle slabs weighing 15–30 kg/m². JustOne Flexible Stone?
-
Ultra-lightweight: Just 3–5 kg/m² (1/10th the weight of natural stone).
-
Human-scale handling: 1–2 workers easily carry/maneuver panels.
No cranes. No lifts. No rigging costs.
? Where You Save
-
Equipment Elimination
→ Cancel crane rentals ($1k–$5k/day).
→ Reduce scaffold/access platforms. -
Labor Efficiency
→ 70% faster installation vs. traditional stone.
→ Small crews handle large volumes (e.g., 100m²/day with 2 workers). -
Structural Savings
→ Lighter load = reduced structural reinforcement costs.
?️ Real Project: Chengdu Jincheng College
At this 15,000m² campus project:
-
Machinery budget cut by 32% by eliminating cranes for facade work.
-
Workers installed 450m²/week manually → met aggressive deadlines.
-
Zero machinery-related delays or safety incidents.
✅ Why Contractors Choose Labor Handling
-
Speed: Adhesive bonding + lightweight panels = rapid "stick-and-go" installation.
-
Versatility: Hand-applied even in tight spaces (e.g., retrofits, curved walls).
-
Safety: Reduced onsite risks (no heavy lifting/moving machinery).
✨ Beyond Cost: The Ripple Effect
-
Smaller carbon footprint: Less fuel for equipment/transport.
-
Design freedom: Install complex shapes without machinery limits.
-
Budget predictability: Fewer equipment variables = accurate quotes.
The Bottom Line
JustOne Flexible Stone isn’t just a material—it’s a cost strategy. By enabling labor-led installation, it erases hefty machinery expenses while accelerating timelines. For projects where budgets are tight and timelines tighter, lightweight stone is the smart pivot.
