Advanced Cladding represents the intersection of natural beauty and high-tech structural engineering. It moves beyond traditional masonry, utilizing cutting-edge fabrication to apply marble to surfaces that were previously impossible to cover, such as curved walls, skyscrapers, and lightweight furniture.

Technical Innovations in Advanced Cladding

• Ultra-Thin Processing: Utilizing CNC and waterjet precision to slice marble into thicknesses as low as 0.5 mm to 5 mm. This dramatically reduces the dead load on buildings while maintaining the stone’s authentic visual depth.

• Composite Reinforcement: To prevent fragility, thin marble sheets are bonded to high-tech backings such as aluminum honeycomb, carbon fiber, or tempered glass. This creates a “sandwich” panel that is stronger and more flexible than solid stone.

• Ventilated Facade Systems: An architectural technique where marble panels are mounted with a gap between the stone and the building’s insulation. This improves thermal performance and moisture control, essential for high-end projects in varying climates.

• Translucency & Lighting: By thinning the stone to extreme levels, certain marbles (like high-purity calcites) become translucent, allowing for backlit facades that transform a building’s appearance from day to night.

Implementation in Modern Industry

For your operations, Advanced Cladding is the key to scaling your BIM-compatible furniture and architectural lines.

• Weight Reduction: By utilizing these techniques, you can export “marble-heavy” designs to the US and UAE with significantly lower logistics costs, as the reduced weight allows for more square footage per container.

• Integration: This technology is what allows the Miamivit brand to feature marble elements on furniture that remains functional and mobile, and enables Yükselen Marbles to participate in large-scale structural changes for global firms like the DLR Group. Zaha Hadid, Aecome..
