LUB SIJ HAWM NTAWM NATURAL STONE CLADDING INNOVATION-stone cladding

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.“

Cladding innovations tuaj yeem muab cov kev daws teeb meem zoo nkauj thiab tus nqi tsim nyog rau kev sib xyaw cov xim thiab textures ntawm ntuj pob zeb yam tsis muaj teeb meem ntawm kev thauj mus los kim thiab kev teeb tsa ntev. Thaum tus neeg paub qhov tseeb ntawm cov pob zeb ntuj, qee qhov ntawm cov txheej txheem no tseem ceeb rau kev siv yooj yim, ua rau nws yog qhov kev xaiv ntse rau kev hais txog cov kev cai nruj uas cov kws tsim vaj tsev yuav tsum tau ua raws li cov cai niaj hnub no.

Polycor ntuj pob zeb muaj feem xyuam rau ntau yam facade anchoring thiab kev txhawb nqa. Originating ntawm Polycor quarries 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.

Thaum xaiv ib lub pob zeb rau cladding, architects yuav tsum hnyav ntau yam: tsos, npaj siv, qhov loj ntawm qhov project, lub zog, durability thiab kev ua tau zoo. Los ntawm kev xaiv Polycor pob zeb rau facades, architects tau txais txiaj ntsig los ntawm peb cov tswv cuab tag nrho ntawm cov khoom siv, los ntawm txhua txoj hauv kev hauv cov pob zeb mus txog rau qhov kev teeb tsa. Tus nqi ntawm kev ua haujlwm nrog lub tuam txhab zoo li Polycor, yog tias txij li peb muaj peb cov quarries, peb tuaj yeem teb ncaj qha rau cov lus nug lossis kev txhawj xeeb uas tus kws tsim qauv yuav muaj thaum lub sijhawm tsim cov spec rau lub façade es tsis txhob muaj 2-3 tus txiv neej nruab nrab.

“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, Hofmann Pob Zeb and others to offer a complete cladding solution for the project.“

Vega tau txaus siab rau txoj kev siv thev naus laus zis tshiab thiab ua haujlwm nrog cov kws tshawb fawb thiab kev tsim kho ntawm peb cov chaw tsim khoom los ua cov pob zeb ntuj cladding ntawm cov thickness sib txawv uas tuaj yeem siv sab hauv lossis sab nraum lub tsev. Nws yog feem ntau affixed ntawm ib tug ywj siab rail thiab clamp system.

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, ib qho kev daws teeb meem uas muaj pob zeb ntawm ib feem ntawm qhov hnyav thiab kev teeb tsa ntawm ob zaug ntawm qhov ceev.

Txhua qhov kev daws teeb meem tso cai rau cov kws tsim vaj tsev tsim qauv tshiab, muaj txiaj ntsig zoo thiab ua kom zoo nkauj hauv lub tsev sab nrauv nrog cov pob zeb nto.

“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.”

Anchored yav dhau los tab sis npaj rau yav tom ntej, ntuj pob zeb cladding ua tau raws li cov kev xav tau ntawm niaj hnub architecture thiab tsim. Thiab thaum cladding nrhav txuas ntxiv ua kom cov pob zeb nyias yooj yim dua li siv tau, cladding tsis yog lub neej yav tom ntej ntawm ntuj pob zeb.

“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.
