LIMESTONE FACADE CLADDING
Natural materials used in architectural structures are divided into classes and preferred as indoor and outdoor coating in accordance with the appearance requirements.The material choice should be made correctly considering the condition of the area to be applied and regional weather conditions. Due to its light color tones, Antalya White Limestone is preferred in many buildings as exterior cladding material.Thanks to its thermal insulation feature, it can provide savings in applied structures.It keeps the interior cool at high temperatures due to its reflecting sun rays, but does not release the heat inside.Since the density of the is less than the others, the total weight per square meter is less and puts less load on the buildings.Stone is preferred as a facade cladding in high-rise buildings and is preferred because of these main features.The limestone which has been formed in millions of years has become an intense material in Antalya region.
Since it has certain selections in itself, it is grouped according to surface appearance in production stage.Due to the dominance of white tones, they are separated and presented to the projects. Turkish white limestone divided into varieties like Sesame, Sesame Free, Cloudy, White, Myra and Finike and surface treatments are applied according to the desired appearance in the application area.While polished surface treatment is not preferred on the exterior façade but it is often preferred to emphasize the main character of the stone in interior flooring and covering.Honed, sandblasting and brushing processes are used for exterior coating.
Natural stones used for decorative purposes by architectural offices are selected according to the requirements of the project selection and surface treatment.In order to make the movements in the natural visible, the surface is applied by applying a polished surface treatment. In business buildings, hospitals, hotels and special design villas; selection is important because it is used as the that will give the latest appearance.The blocks extracted from the quarries in Antalya in summer are stocked for processing in the factories.The blocks that are in accordance with the character requested in the project are processed and cut to the required dimensions.In case of a large size, it is prepared as slab and sizing operations are performed from the appropriate parts.Other smaller sizes are cut from the remaining parts and crated in accordance with their character.Due to the large quantity to be used in a large project, it may be difficult to lay stones of the same character in each area.It is ensured that the stones which have the same appearance are sent in accordance with the selection on the floor basis.Myra limestone has much movementson the surface than other varieties.It is distinguished from other selections due to the appearance of seashells in it and is preferred in application areas.In order to be compatible with other decorative materials, the movements of the stone to be used indoors gain importance.Stones to be used as exterior cladding and flooring are selected from varieties that do not contain any movement due to being affected by wear and sunlight over time.
LIMESTONE COLUMN, JAM, PROFILE, MOULDING, FLAT PANEL
Limestone is preferred as exterior cladding with its aesthetically homogeneous appearance and added value to the structure after processing.White character material, which is one of the natural stone types used in exterior of the buildings such as villa, business center and hospital is ensured that the desired appearance is processed by special design.It is applied by processing as column and detailed profile types in order to add an aesthetic appearance rather than using it as standard floor and wall flooring.After the limestone is removed from the quarry, it is subjected to certain processes to bring it to the desired dimensions.In order to be cut to the desired dimensions in the project, firstly, it is made to be sized and separated to the selection.In order for the project to be seen as a whole, it is important that the surface appearance of the different parts be similar.The stones to be profiled for window and door edge processes are cut in thick and processed in a machine that will give special design appearance.Stones to be made profiles for window and door edge operations is processed on the machine which will cut thickly and give the appearance of special design.The column header which is prepared in accordance with the requested profile design gives the with the desired size.
The monolithic columns located on the outer main door entrances, on the sides of the windows and on the inside as large columns are produced in the design and standards in which the project takes place.The round columns can be produced in one piece or hollow form.Design is created by combining the parts at the time of application.Column with limestone production is made of first class material in accordance with international standards in our factory.The profile designs drawn by the architectural office in relation to the door edges, wall corners and window edges in the application area are produced by processing in the workshop.In accordance with the details required in the production stage, blocks or rubble stones are taken from the quarry and the cutting operations are carried out with precise measurements.Profiles designed in large pieces are cut to a minimum number of pieces.The parts prepared as long length are applied in a way that they follow each other and are compatible in the application area.
Finike White Limestone, which is obtained from the quarries in Antalya, is produced in accordance with the design of architectural offices on project basis.It is a preferred facade cladding stone in America, Canada and European countries.Profiles, moulding, flat panel and jambs produced in our factory are exported through Antalya port in accordance with European production standards.With the coding given to the boxes at the time of production, a healthy progression of the stone order in the application area is provided.Due to the high efficiency of the quary, there are no color tone transitions during and after production.
MECHANICAL EXTERIOR LIMESTONE CLADDING
Facade cladding applied in many buildings where it is applied in high quantities for design, aesthetics and heat insulation.The materials applied to the exterior surface of the building should provide a beautiful aesthetic appearance without putting too much extra load on the structure.For this reason, it is desirable that the to be used should be light, aesthetic in appearance and less fragile.In countries with warm climates, white and cream-colored stones are used in the exterior cladding of buildings to protect them from sunlight.Dark tones increase the indoor temperature as it will keep the heat inside.Limestone is preferred frequently in USA and Arab countries as facade cladding.Since it is in the white character stone group, it is provided to give the structure a monolithic appearance after the application.In order not to be affected by bad weather conditions, the area where the white application will be applied should be cleaned first and made ready with anchoring materials.2 cm thick stones are used as flooring and indoor coating, while 3 cm is preferred to increase the durability of the exterior facade.
Side holes for the anchor material are drilled in the factory and than exported. On the anchorage which is ready in the construction area, the stones which are made by selection are arranged. Security is the most important issue in exterior applied in high-rise buildings.A piece that will break from the upper floors of the building can cause serious security problems.Natural stones which are applied very tightly with anchorage can withstand long-term adverse weather conditions.In case of strong wind and frost, it can remain undamaged thanks to its 3 cm thickness.The mechanical cladding provides better protection from bonding with plaster and adds a regular appearance.Parts worn, damaged or broken over time can be easily replaced with new ones.
ADVANTAGES OF WHITE LIMESTONE FACADE CLADDING
Due to its thermal insulation, low density and decorative appearance to the buildings, white limestone varieties are preferred as the main exterior coating material in many projects.The selection of the blocks extracted from different quarries provides inconsistency in itself, so it is necessary to determine the stone character before the production stage in the project-based studies.The presence of light veins or fluctuations in the white background is separated from the production stage and brought to an acceptable level in export quality. Finike Limestone provides more thermal insulation compared to other facade cladding materials.Thanks to this feature, the material that comes to the fore is used as first class by making special design in the buildings.In many projects in America, Europe and Arab countries where summer months are very hot and white background color is preferred, it is accepted by the architectural offices and added to the drawings.
In the production made in large sizes, it can be provided to add a simple appearance to the application area due to the fact that there is not too much color transitions.Wet cut stones in production stage after discarding the water in the sun after application, the color becomes lighter.It does not show the natural movements in the which becomes white after drying.Compared to other natural stone types, its density is less and it provides less weight per square meter and this feature is important in high-rise buildings with very large exterior surfaces.Since anchorage is used during the cladding, mortar material is not used to put an old load on the bonding.In this way, the buildings have the appearance of a white facade coating with thermal insulation and without too much extra load.
EXTERIOR CLADDING LIMESTONE PRICES
White stone prices vary according to the selection, project details, dimensions and stone thickness requested on a project basis.While fixed pricing is in classical cut-to-size materials whereas fixed pricing cannot be made in parts that require extra processing such as limestone profiles, jambs, columns, flat panel and moulding.Since the profile details are determined by the architect of each project, the thickness and the fine workmanship to be used vary.Columns are produced in accordance with the project according to the drawings are processed in our factory.Limra, which is very long, is processed by dividing into a certain number of pieces for column coating processes. Limestone columns with very long length; is divided into a certain number of pieces.Since there is no machine that can process a column covering stone to be prepared at a length of 4 meters, it can be cut and cut into 3 equal parts.
Limra stone with different surface treatmentspreferred as polished, honed, sandblasting, brushed and tumbled.Different surface treatments can be applied to all of the selections with sesame, sesame free and cloudy.Surface treatment is done with different machines in the factory does not change costs.Surface treatments outside the polished surface show the stone more matte and non-reflective.It has a lighter color tone than after surface treatments.
