Stone Cladding in Half the Time-stone dressed

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.

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.

“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.”
