Ing ngarep saka watu alam CLADDING INOVASI-watu 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.“

Inovasi cladding bisa menehi solusi sing elegan lan hemat biaya kanggo nggabungake warna lan tekstur saka watu alam tanpa komplikasi transportasi sing larang lan instalasi sing dawa. Nalika nggambarake karakter asli watu alam, sawetara sistem kasebut tetep entheng kanggo gampang digunakake, dadi pilihan sing cerdas kanggo ngatasi syarat sing ketat sing kudu ditindakake para arsitek ing kode bangunan modern.

Watu alam Polycor ditrapake kanggo macem-macem anchoring fasad lan sistem dhukungan. Asal saka ing tambang 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.

Nalika milih watu kanggo cladding, arsitek kudu nimbang akeh faktor: katon, tujuan panggunaan, ukuran proyek, kekuatan, daya tahan lan kinerja. Kanthi milih watu Polycor kanggo fasad, arsitek entuk manfaat saka kepemilikan lengkap rantai pasokan, saka kabeh mudhun ing bedrock nganti titik instalasi. Nilai nggarap perusahaan kaya Polycor, yaiku amarga kita duwe tambang, kita bisa langsung mangsuli pitakon utawa keprihatinan sing bisa ditindakake arsitek sajrone proses ngembangake spek kanggo fasad tinimbang duwe 2-3 wong tengah.

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

Vega wis kasengsem ing teknologi cladding inovatif lan makarya karo ahli riset lan pangembangan ing pabrik manufaktur kita kanggo nggawe cladding watu alam saka kekandelan variabel sing bisa digunakake ing njero utawa njaba bangunan. Umume dipasang liwat sistem rel lan clamp independen.

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, solusi sing nawakake watu ing bagian sekedhik saka bobot lan instalasi ing kaping pindho kacepetan.

3cm stone mechanically anchored to thin, precast concrete panels provides additional installation advantages. Companies such as Hoffman Stone systems are compatible with Polycor’s stones.

Polycor nduweni keahlian kanggo nggawe proyek apa wae saka tembok sing prasaja nganti bangku, proyek arsitektur sing luar biasa lan interior lobi sing dhuwur. Saben solusi ngidini arsitek kanggo ngrancang eksterior bangunan sing inovatif, lestari lan estetis sing nggabungake permukaan watu.

“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.”

Jangkar ing jaman kepungkur nanging siap kanggo masa depan, cladding watu alam nyukupi kabutuhan arsitektur lan desain modern. Lan nalika inovasi cladding terus nggawe watu tipis luwih gampang tinimbang digunakake, cladding ora mung masa depan watu alam.

“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.
