AIR FREAGAIRT CARRAIGHE NÀDARRA A' còmhdachadh ùr-chòmhdach cloiche

Stone cladding isn’t just the smart alternative to energy efficient glass, it’s also the simple choice, thanks to new cladding attachment systems.

“These new attachment systems allow stone to be used for lighter applications, when the structure has not been designed for a heavy full bed,” said Vega. “They also allow for a faster installation compared to traditional methods.“

Faodaidh innleachdan còmhdaich fuasgladh eireachdail is cosg-èifeachdach a thabhann airson a bhith a’ toirt a-steach dathan agus inneach clach nàdarra às aonais duilgheadasan còmhdhail cosgail agus stàladh fada. Fhad ‘s a tha iad a’ comharrachadh caractar dearbhte clach nàdarra, tha cuid de na siostaman sin fhathast aotrom airson a bhith furasta an cleachdadh, ga fhàgail na roghainn snasail airson dèiligeadh ris na riatanasan teann a dh’ fheumas ailtirean coinneachadh ann an còdan togail an latha an-diugh.

Tha clachan nàdarra polycor iomchaidh airson grunn shiostaman acair agus taic. A’ tòiseachadh aig an Cuaraidhean Polycor and all through production, the stones are manufactured to each of our partner system’s specifications from ultra-thin profiles up to full thickness dimensional elements complimenting a wide range of facade structures.

Nuair a bhios iad a 'taghadh clach airson còmhdach, feumaidh ailtirean mòran fhactaran a chuideam: coltas, cleachdadh san amharc, meud a' phròiseict, neart, seasmhachd agus coileanadh. Le bhith a’ taghadh chlachan Polycor airson aghaidhean, tha ailtirean a’ faighinn buannachd às an làn sheilbh a th’ againn air an t-sèine solair, bhon t-slighe gu lèir sìos anns a’ bhun-stèidh suas gu ìre an stàlaidh. Is e luach a bhith ag obair le companaidh mar Polycor, leis gu bheil sealbh againn air na cuaraidhean againn, gun urrainn dhuinn freagairt dìreach a thoirt do cheistean no draghan sam bith a dh’ fhaodadh a bhith aig ailtire fhad ‘s a tha sinn a’ leasachadh sònrachadh airson aghaidh an àite 2-3 fir meadhanach a bhith againn.

“We have a wide array of our own limestone, granite and marble, so architects can discuss with the source and get accurate and reliable information,” said Vega. “We fabricate ourselves and sell blocks to other fabricators, ensuring competitiveness of the offers, while preserving the design intent. We work with industry leaders like Eclad, Clach Hofmann and others to offer a complete cladding solution for the project.“

Tha ùidh air a bhith aig Vega ann an teicneòlasan còmhdaich ùr-ghnàthach agus dh’ obraich i le eòlaichean rannsachaidh is leasachaidh aig na h-ionadan saothrachaidh againn gus còmhdach cloiche nàdarra de thiugh caochlaideach a dhèanamh a ghabhas cleachdadh taobh a-staigh no taobh a-muigh togalach. Mar as trice tha e air a cheangal tro shiostam rèile is clamp neo-eisimeileach.

Polycor’s stone veneer can be installed over solid facing, which eliminates the challenge of removing the original substructure in some cases. Some stone panels are cut thin, while still maintaining the authentic look and feel of a thicker stone without the heavy weight of a 3-6 inch deep stone veneer, making installation fast and simple. Polycor’s thin stones are compatible in many cladding configurations and are manufactured for systems like Litecore, fuasgladh a tha a 'tairgse clach aig bloigh den chuideam agus stàladh aig dà uair nas luaithe.

Bidh na panalan balla ioma-chruthach seo a’ cleachdadh clach Polycor air a ghearradh ann an veneer ultra-tana. A’ cumail ri cìr-mheala sreathach, air a sgaoileadh eadar siotaichean alùmanum agus mogal fiberglass, tha na pannalan a’ toirt seachad siostam aghaidh dùmhlachd ìosal, àrd neart agus aotrom.

Tha an t-eòlas aig Polycor airson pròiseact sam bith a chruthachadh bho bhalla sìmplidh gu beingean, pròiseactan ailtireachd air leth agus taobh a-staigh lobaidh àrd. Leigidh gach fuasgladh le ailtirean taobh a-muigh togalach ùr-ghnàthach, seasmhach agus a tha tlachdmhor a thaobh bòidhchead a dhealbhadh a’ toirt a-steach uachdar cloiche.

“These solutions can also be used interchangeably to blend with more traditional architectural elements and stone masonry construction such as full bed trim, cornices, lintels and things of that nature,” said Vega. “And again, once the material is specified, it can be used on any cladding system, traditional masonry and fabricated by pretty much all the fabricators operating on the market today. This way architects can lock in their design intent, and let engineers and builders establish means and methods to realize the design within budget.”

Air acair san àm a dh'fhalbh ach deiseil airson an ama ri teachd, tha còmhdach cloiche nàdarra a 'coinneachadh ri feumalachdan ailtireachd agus dealbhadh an latha an-diugh. Agus ged a tha innleachdan còmhdaich fhathast a’ dèanamh clach tana nas fhasa na bha e a-riamh a chleachdadh, chan e còmhdachadh an aon àm ri teachd do chlach nàdarra.

“Actually, there is an opposite trend growing in Europe right now: instead of going thinner and lighter, we’re seeing load bearing stone construction making a comeback. It’s the New Stone age,” said Vega.
