There are three types: ventilated, bonded, and curtain wall. The ventilated façade, as pictured on the right, is a high-performance solution for building enclosures that takes advantage of mechanical anchoring elements. Through connections between the cladding material and the mechanical assembly, design loads are effectively transferred back to the structural wall, providing a safe and secure façade.

79©2017, 2020 ∙ Table of Contents • About the Instructor • About the Sponsor • Ask an Expert < > The Metamorphic Process in Nature The metamorphic process is nature’s way of forming minerals into solid rock via high temperature and pressure over time. Ultracompact surfacing features sintering, a manufacturing process that employs an accelerated version of the metamorphic process where minerals are exposed to extreme pressure and high temperature, causing a profound physical and chemical transformation. Basically, ultracompact surfacing mimics what mother nature creates in millions of years in a fraction of the time. Manufacturing essentially speeds up the metamorphic process.

Slide 18 of
79©2017, 2020 ∙ Table of Contents • About the Instructor • About the Sponsor • Ask an Expert < > Manufacturing Process The manufacturing process takes a number of hours, but a plant can produce up to 1500 slabs a day. From start to finish the process includes the following steps: 1. Decontamination of raw material 2. Mixing of materials 3. Addition of pigment 4. Distribution of materials on conveyor belt 5. Volume decoration process 6. Compaction 7. Drying and secondary decoration 8. Sinterization
19.
Slide 19 of
79©2017, 2020 ∙ Table of Contents • About the Instructor • About the Sponsor • Ask an Expert < > Decontamination and Mixing The manufacturing of UCS materials is a multi-step process beginning with the decontamination of raw materials. Once they are cleaned, the materials are mixed together. The materials are kept in large hoppers prior to mixing. It is important to note that the materials are essentially milled to a similar small particle size that allows the rounded particulates to interact at a molecular level. The same particle size feature of UCS helps to create a zero-porosity material, free of the micro-defects that cause tension or weak spots in other surfacing materials. Pigments are similar in size and consistency to the milled base materials and are added in a dry format to the existing dry bed of milled minerals. These pigments are added randomly or uniformly, depending on the desired appearance of the UCS material. Inside the pigment machine, the heat reaches 1022° F. The milled/processed raw material mixture is dry “sprayed” with a dry pigment. The result is that small, colored mineral spheres are introduced to the UCS material-in-process. Some colors are through-body, while some designs are only surface due to the extreme density of the UCS material.
20.
Slide 20 of

The random nature of this process reduces the chances of visual repeat patterns. Different combinations of colored mineral spheres are used to produce different colored UCS products. At this stage, the material feels light, like a talc. Pictured here is a gray-based sheet. Every slab goes through this process, and this is where the pigments are introduced to the product.

79©2017, 2020 ∙ Table of Contents • About the Instructor • About the Sponsor • Ask an Expert < > Dimensional Stability Ultracompact surfacing materials are very consistent in both dimension and thickness throughout the slabs, which minimizes the need for field corrections. The unique manufacturing process produces a dead-flat panel as measured by ISO 10545-2, “Ceramic tiles - Part 2: Determination of Dimensions and Surface Quality.” Using a consistent and dimensionally stable panel provides easier installation and a uniform flat appearance in the final product. Many different sizes of slabs are offered including ultra-sized. This extremely large size opens the door for design flexibility. Being lighter than traditional flooring and cladding materials, ultracompact surfacing is able to be installed in many diverse applications. Typical thicknesses are 2cm (20mm), 1.2cm (12mm), and 0.8cm (8mm), while panel sizes are 126″x56″.
34.
Slide 34 of
79©2017, 2020 ∙ Table of Contents • About the Instructor • About the Sponsor • Ask an Expert < > Extremely Flat Ultracompact slabs are incredibly flat mainly due to the manufacturing process—compaction from a large 50-million-pound press—as compared to classic porcelain processes that lend themselves to possible doming and lippage problems. As a result, the ultracompact surface makes it easier to create a flat surface when installing large-format flooring, or provide a completely flat look for a façade application. As you can see from the example on the right, the large, extremely flat slabs provide a clean, even, uniform appearance for this hotel’s exterior.

Slide 37 of
79©2017, 2020 ∙ Table of Contents • About the Instructor • About the Sponsor • Ask an Expert < > Low Coefficient of Thermal Expansion Unlike granite façades where you need to allow for large expansion joints, ultracompact surfacing has very low expansion and contraction during temperature fluctuations as per ASTM C372, “Standard Test Method for Linear Thermal Expansion of Porcelain Enamel and Glaze Frits and Fired Ceramic Whiteware Products by the Dilatometer Method.” This allows for extremely tight seams on the floors, walls, or countertops, providing a cleaner, sleeker design. Smaller joint surfaces reduce areas for dirt to stain. The low coefficient of thermal expansion also means that the surfacing is thermal shock proof from both extreme heat and extreme cold, making it extremely durable and perfect for both indoor and outdoor applications.

Hot pots and appliances like crock pots can be placed directly on the surface with no worry of damage. European Standard testing EN 13501 and ASTM E136, “Standard Test Method for Behavior of Materials in a Vertical Tube Furnace at 750° C,” classify ultracompact surfaces as noncombustible. However, while this type of surface can withstand extreme heat, it is always best to avoid direct contact between the surfacing material and the metal parts of an electric broiler, cooking worktops, or ovens; very high temperature objects such as chimneys, barbecues, etc.; and contact with flame. Always check with the manufacturer for specific instructions.

While other surfaces show wear over time, the ultracompact surface finish will last for the life of the product and never needs to be resurfaced or refinished. As with any product, designers must always check with the manufacturer’s instructions as product performance will vary. While this type of surfacing material has a very high abrasion resistance, it is advisable to not polish the surface using metal sponges or use abrasive particles unless otherwise directed.
