Xidhitaanka Dhagaxa Dabiiciga ah: Ku Xidhnaa Waagii Hore, Laakin U Diyaarsan Mustaqbalka-dhagax

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.

U gudubka muraayadda dib ugu noqoshada dhagaxa sidoo kale waa natiijada welwelka deegaanka. Duqa magaalada New York Bill De Blasio ayaa dhawaan u guuray mamnuuc dhismooyinka muraayadaha cusub in the city, making New York the first city to mandate energy efficiency. But it won’t be the last: According to the United Nations, 40% of the world’s energy consumption can be attributed to buildings. Pressure to construct buildings in a sustainably responsible manner is being felt by developers and architects around the world.

“It’s pretty well known in the industry that those glass facade buildings are not energy efficient,” said Hugo Vega, vice president of Architectural Sales at Polycor. “Meaning that in the summer it becomes super hot and you need to have an extensive system of air conditioning and in the winter you need a lot of heating as compared to a traditional building with more stone.”

The design community has been embracing stone for facade design instead, and just in time, as changes in building codes and regulations are set to further tighten architects’ design choices. Natural stone plays an important role in the future of sustainable architecture thanks to its life-cycle, durability, ease of care, low maintenance, and energy efficiency— the list goes on. The minimal environmental impact that innovative cladding wall systems provide is another reason the building industry is moving back to natural materials.

“Energy inefficient glass facades concerns are a good driver for the growing popularity of stone cladding,” said Vega.

Vega understands this continued demand for stone cladding better than just about anyone: he’s been the driving force behind the development of the cladding division of Polycor and he has an in-depth understanding of what architects and builders are looking for in their products.

“The type of stone will dictate possible finishes, thickness, and more,” said Vega. “For example, it’s inadvisable to use polished 3cm marble and expose it to the elements for cladding. Direct communication with selected quarries will help validate the block sizes and thus the maximum finished panel sizes, what natural features can be expected in the stone, and the availability of the material according to job size and phases.” Specification challenges can present themselves throughout a project, such as alternate stones being introduced by other parties and detracting from the initial design intent. Maintaining a close contact with the quarry teams helps ensure this is preserved. As Hugo points out, “Make sure to specify the true, branded names of the materials to avoid being supplied with undesired alternates.” The old days of calling out marmar Talyaani doesn’t cut it anymore.

HORTA HORE EE HABKA DHAGAX DABIICIGA AH

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.“

Xalalka cusub ee isku dhejinta ayaa u oggolaanaya fursado naqshadeyn weyn | Sawirka: Litecore gooyn khafiif ah Indiana Limestone oo ku dheggan aluminium taageerada aluminiumka ah

Hal-abuurnimada isku-dhafka ah waxay bixin kartaa xal qurux badan oo kharash-ku-ool ah oo loogu talagalay isku-darka midabada iyo qaababka dhagaxa dabiiciga ah iyada oo aan la helin dhibaatooyinka gaadiidka qaaliga ah iyo rakibidda dheer. Iyadoo la shakhsiyeynayo dabeecadda dhabta ah ee dhagaxa dabiiciga ah, qaar ka mid ah nidaamyadan ayaa ah kuwo khafiif ah si sahlan loo isticmaalo, taas oo ka dhigaysa doorasho caqli-gal ah oo wax looga qabanayo shuruudaha adag ee naqshadeeyayaasha ay tahay inay buuxiyaan xeerarka dhismaha casriga ah.

Dhagaxyada dabiiciga ah ee Polycor ayaa lagu dabaqi karaa qaabab kala duwan oo lagu xidho wejiga iyo nidaamyada taageerada. Asal ahaan Dhagaxyada 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.

Markaad dooranayso dhagax lagu dhejiyo, naqshadeeyayaasha waxay u baahan yihiin inay miisaamaan arrimo badan: muuqaalka, isticmaalka loogu talagalay, xajmiga mashruuca, xoogga, adkaysiga iyo waxqabadka. Markaad dooranayso dhagaxyada Polycor ee wejiyada, naqshadeeyayaasha waxay ka faa'iideysanayaan lahaanshaha buuxa ee silsiladda sahayda, laga soo bilaabo ilaa hoos sariirta ilaa barta rakibidda. Qiimaha la shaqeynta shirkad sida Polycor, waa in maadaama aan leenahay dhagaxyadayada, waxaan si toos ah uga jawaabi karnaa su'aalo kasta ama walaacyada naqshadeeyaha laga yaabo inuu yeesho inta lagu jiro habka horumarinta muraayadda wejiga halkii laga heli lahaa 2-3 nin oo dhexdhexaad ah.

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

Vega waxa ay xiisaynaysay tignoolajiyada cusub ee xidhidhiyaha waxaanay kala shaqaysay cilmi baadhisyo iyo khubaro horumarineed oo ka tirsan warshadaheena wax soo saarka si ay u sameeyaan xidhid dhagax dabiici ah oo dhumucdiisuna isbedbedesho oo loo isticmaali karo gudaha ama dibada dhismaha. Guud ahaan waxaa lagu dhejiyaa iyada oo loo marayo habka tareemada madax-bannaan iyo habka isku-xidhka.

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, xal bixiya dhagax qayb yar oo ka mid ah miisaanka iyo rakibidda xawaaraha laba jeer.

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 waxay leedahay khibrad si ay u abuurto mashruuc kasta laga bilaabo gidaar fudud ilaa fadhiyo, mashruucyo dhisme oo heersare ah iyo qolal sare oo gudaha ah. Xal kastaa wuxuu u oggolaanayaa naqshadeeyayaasha inay naqshadeeyaan dhismo cusub, waara oo qurux badan oo bannaanka ah oo ay ku jiraan sagxadaha dhagaxa.

“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.”
