Sintered Stone Interior Walls & Feature Panels

A central bookmatched feature, a calm repeating field and a directional stone wall need different panel arrangements. Start with the axis seen from the entrance or the main seating position. Compare that axis with door heads, vertical reveals and the top of any reception counter. A balanced composition may use unequal panel widths; equal divisions are not always the most effective solution. Show a full elevation with the actual slab-face photographs placed in sequence, and distinguish a conceptual pattern study from a confirmed allocation of supplied pieces.

• Mark the viewing axis and the intended pattern centre.
• Number panels on the elevation, not only on the packing list.

Raking light can make small changes in alignment and surface reflection more noticeable. Review a sample panel under the proposed lighting direction, especially beside a continuous light slot. Decide whether outside corners use an exposed edge, a mitred detail or a separate trim, and show how that choice meets skirting and the ceiling. An access hatch should retain its opening method and maintenance clearance. If it is faced with matching material, coordinate the hinge or support system and the cut pattern rather than simply hiding the hatch on a rendering.

• Review light-slot positions with the finished surface.
• Add sections through the main corner and access hatch.

For a wall made from selected faces, the correct model name is not enough to identify each installed location. Use panel IDs that connect the elevation, cutting file, package label and site position. Discuss whether the installer needs panels delivered in the order of installation and how temporary storage will protect corners and faces. Confirm the final supporting assembly with the project designer; panel weight, wall construction and fixing design must be assessed together. A surface supplier’s decorative image cannot replace that assessment or determine the installation method for every building.

• Link each package to its wall and panel position.
• Keep replacements identifiable by position and face reference.
