Watu Cladding ing Setengah Time-watu klambi

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.”

“The 1 cm product was a great innovation, but there was no way to apply it quickly and easily on large-scale projects,” Vega said.

Dadi tim Polycor bali menyang pembangunan.

Kangge, tanggapan liyane wiwit nyebar ing jagad A&D. Ing dicokot saka surprise kanggo Vega, 1 cm slabs sales njupuk mati ing pasar omah ngendi perancang lan klien mlumpat ing kasempatan kanggo nggabungake tembok fitur ing udan, backsplashes slab lengkap lan fireplaces vertikal rapi. (Sampeyan bisa ndeleng sing designs ing lookbook iki.) Ing katelu saka bobot saka biasanipun 3 materi cm padha dealing with, fabricators ora maneh bejat mburi kanggo otot slab lengkap munggah liwat counter kanggo nginstal backsplash a. Ing kaping 10 kekuatan lentur, (thanks kanggo backing komposit polikarbonat) wis sumelang yen slabs vertikal oriented ing geni bakal retak nalika diinstal.

Pasar omah ana ing kapal kanggo watu tipis.

That was great news, but Vega’s customers are typically working on commercial, not residential, specifications. So he continued to mull over this problem of adhering thin stone cladding to the exteriors of architectural projects. From time to time he would bump into the team from eclad at job sites where thicker panels of Polycor marble and granite were being installed with existing eclad systems, structural supports laid over existing facades in a modular fashion. A world leader in stone cladding systems, eclad has been creating and refining cladding systems since the 1990s. They too were seeing the same need in the market as the Polycor team – a fast and efficient way to clad with ultra-thin slabs. And so together the companies decided it was time to team up to bring a comprehensive thin stone cladding system to market.

Apa sing dikembangake yaiku sistem sing lancar sing ngirit wektu, tenaga kerja lan dhuwit: Eklas 1.

Desain anyar adhedhasar sistem kothak aluminium ing kombinasi karo jangkar undercut ditempelake ing mburi panel 1 cm supaya padha tetep ndhelik nalika nggunakake watu lancip kuwi. Panel kasedhiya nganti 9 kaki kanthi 5 kaki lan bobote mung enem kilogram saben kothak persegi, nggawe proses instalasi dadi tugas sing luwih gampang.

Instalasi ing kaping pindho jangkah

Sistem lengkap nyedhiyakake panel watu entheng sing wis dibor liwat struktur cladding protèktif sing nggawe panel watu sing abot luwih gampang dipasang. Sistem cladding tradisional gumantung ing watu kandel digabungake karo cramps cumbersome, nyudo lan klip. Kanthi installer Eclad 1 mung nyelehake slab menyang papan lan nglelebke sekrup menyang bolongan sing wis dicithak.

“It’s basically a different way of installing the stone,” Vega said. “With traditional cladding systems, the anchors have to be installed one-by-one. The process is more labor intensive. On average, it’s twice as fast installing panels using the Eclad grid system.”
