After decades quarrying, fabricating and supplying stone facades, Hugo Vega, Vice President of Sales at Polycor, noticed that the architects he was calling on were lacking a thin stone veneer that was light enough and strong enough for cladding large-scale architectural projects. After some R&D within the company, Polycor went on to release its 1 cm reinforced slabs and Vega returned to his architects in triumph. Only their response was, “That’s great, but we need a way to hang it.”Lestu meira -
The longevity of stone puts any human concept of old age to shame. Stone creates a sense of permanence and solidity, even when worn and weathered. It’s been used throughout history as the structure and facade of buildings- buildings that have literally stood the test of time. While natural stone has been the material of choice for millennia, glass has dominated commercial construction—especially large scale projects like skyscrapers—in recent years. But architects are increasingly reacting to this glut of glass by returning to stone for their projects. For many developers and architects, glass had become the default, a sterile, too obvious choice which resulted in a flat, texture-less and uninspired design.Lestu meira -

Náttúrusteinn hefur verið ákjósanlegasta klæðningarefnið fyrir innanhússhönnuði og arkitekta. Þökk sé ofgnótt af eiginleikum þess sem gera það að fullkomnu efni fyrir bæði innri og ytri klæðningu. Það er ekki bara öflugt og endingargott heldur líka fallegt útlit hvað varðar fagurfræði. Reyndar er hver steinn svo einstakur í tilveru að hægt er að nota hann á nýstárlegan hátt til að auka þolkraft hans og útlit. Með yfirgripsmiklum skilningi á steinklæðningu verður auðvelt að útfæra rétta efnið fyrir klæðningarverkefnið þitt. Svo, hér fer það!Lestu meira -
Steinn hefur verið notaður í gegnum tíðina á byggingar í mörgum stílum sem klæðningarefni. Þar til tiltölulega nýlega var það notað fyrir burðarvirki í undirstöðum og veggbyggingu. Í nútíma byggingu er steinn fyrst og fremst notaður sem klæðningarvalkostur til að hylja minna aðlaðandi burðarvirki. Staflaður steinn er ekki gott byggingarefni. Það getur borið mikla þyngd, en vegna þess að það er erfitt að styrkja með stáli, er það alræmt illa við að lifa af jarðskjálfta og uppfyllir því ekki þær ströngu kröfur sem arkitektar þurfa að uppfylla í nútíma byggingarreglum.Lestu meira -
