Kohatu Cladding in Hawhe te Time-kohatu kakahu

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.

Na ka hoki ano te roopu Polycor ki te whakawhanaketanga.

I taua wa, i timata ano tetahi whakautu ki roto i te ao A&D. I te ohorere ki a Vega, ko te 1 cm nga hoko papapa i eke ki te maakete noho i reira ka peke nga kaihoahoa me o raatau kaihoko ki te whai waahi ki te whakauru i nga pakitara i roto i nga ua, nga papamuri papaa katoa me nga ahi ahi poutū. (Ka taea e koe te kite i aua hoahoa i roto i tenei pukapuka titiro.) I te hautoru o te taumaha o nga rawa 3 cm o mua e mahia ana e ratou, kua kore e whatiia e nga kaihanga o ratou tuara ki te uaua i tetahi papa ki runga i te porotiti hei whakauru i te papamuri. I te 10 nga wa o te kaha flexible, (he mihi ki tana tautoko polycarbonate composite) kua kore te awangawanga kei te pakaru nga papa i runga i te ahi ahi i runga i te whakaurunga.

Ko te maakete noho i runga i te kaipuke mo te kohatu kikokore.

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.

Ko nga mea i whakawhanakehia e ratou he punaha maamaa e penapena wa, mahi me te moni: Whakatau 1.

Tino kikokore Maamaa pango American te ahua ka rewa, e tautokona ana e te hanganga Eclad 1 e kore e kitea.

Ko te hoahoa hou i ahu mai i te punaha matiti konumohe me nga punga o raro e piri ana ki muri o nga awhi 1 cm kia noho huna ana i te wa e whakamahi ana i taua kohatu angiangi. E wātea ana nga panui ki te 9 putu ki te 5 putu me te ono pauna noa mo ia waewae tapawha i te toharite, he maamaa ake te mahi whakaurunga.

Ka noho huna nga punga mo te mata kore e araia.

Ko te punaha katoa e whakarato ana i nga panui kohatu maamaa i mua i te taraihia ki runga i te hanganga whakamarumaru kia maamaa ai te whakauru i nga panui kohatu taumaha. Ko nga punaha whakakikorua tawhito e whakawhirinaki ana ki te kowhatu matotoru ka honoa ki nga kopa, nga here me nga topenga. Ma te Eclad 1 nga kaiwhakauru ka kuhu noa nga papa ki te waahi ka totohu nga wiri ki roto i nga rua kua oti te keri.

“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.”
