I TE MUA O TE KOHAA NATURAL CLADDING INNOVATION-whakapiri kohatu

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.“

Ka taea e nga mahi hou te whakakii i tetahi otinga huatau me te utu-utu mo te whakauru i nga tae me nga kakano o te kohatu taiao kaore he raruraru o te utu utu nui me te whakaurunga roa. Ahakoa e whakaatu ana i te ahua pono o te kohatu maori, he maamaa etahi o enei punaha mo te ngawari ki te whakamahi, na te mea he pai te whiriwhiri mo te whakatutuki i nga tino whakaritenga e tika ana kia tutukihia e nga kaitoi i roto i nga tikanga hanga whare hou.

Ko nga kohatu taiao Polycor e tika ana mo nga momo tuuranga me nga punaha tautoko. I ahu mai i te Nga keri a 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.

I te wa e whiriwhiri ana i te kohatu mo te kapi, me pauna e nga kaitoi te maha o nga mea: te ahua, te whakamahinga o te kaupapa, te rahi o te kaupapa, te kaha, te roa me te mahi. Ma te kowhiri i nga kohatu Polycor mo nga whaa, ka whai hua nga kaitoi mai i to maatau rangatira katoa o te mekameka tuku, mai i nga huarahi katoa ki raro i te toka tae noa ki te waahi whakaurunga. Ko te uara o te mahi tahi me tetahi kamupene penei i a Polycor, na te mea kei a matou o matou keri, ka taea e matou te whakautu tika ki nga patai, maaharahara ranei kei te kaitoi i te wa e hangai ana he waahanga mo te mata, kaua ki te 2-3 tangata waenga.

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

I pirangi a Vega ki nga hangarau whakakikorua hou me te mahi tahi me nga tohunga rangahau me te whakawhanaketanga i o maatau tipu whakangao ki te hanga kapi kohatu taiao he rereke te matotoru ka taea te whakamahi i roto, i waho ranei o te whare. Ko te tikanga ka whakapirihia ma te reriwe motuhake me te punaha rawhi.

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, he otinga e tuku kohatu i te hautanga o te taumaha me te whakaurunga i te rua o te tere.

Ko enei papanga pakitara hiato, he maha nga waahanga e whakamahi ana i te kohatu Polycor i tapahia ki roto i te whakakikorua tino kikokore. Ka u ki te honikoma paparanga, ka mau i waenga i nga pepa konumohe me te mata kaata kaata, ka whakaratohia e nga panui he punaha papanga iti-iti, kaha teitei, me te maamaa.

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.

He tohungatanga to Polycor ki te hanga kaupapa mai i te pakitara ngawari ki nga taumanu, nga kaupapa hoahoanga tino pai me nga whare o roto o te whare teitei. Ma ia otinga ka taea e nga kaitoi te hoahoa o waho o te whare hou, toiwhi me te ataahua ki te whakauru i nga papa kohatu.

“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.”

He punga i mua engari kua reri mo nga wa kei te heke mai, ko te whakakikorua kohatu taiao e tutuki ana i nga hiahia o te hoahoanga me te hoahoa hou. A, i te mea ka mau tonu nga mahi whakakikorua i nga kohatu angiangi kia ngawari ake te whakamahi, ehara i te mea ko te whakakikorua anake te kohatu taiao.

“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.
