Ultra-Lightweight Cladding for Occupied Building Retrofits
In the stock renewal era, the biggest challenge of residential retrofits (old community renovations) is often not technology, but “people.” How do you safely and rapidly renew the facade without relocating residents or interrupting their daily lives? The heavy weight and high-noise construction of traditional tiles and stone have become major roadblocks to project progression.
Backed by four core invention patents and comprehensive SGS certifications, the Flexible Stone system provided by Guangdong Fortune Stone New Material Co., Ltd. is born specifically for “occupied building retrofits,” perfectly balancing construction efficiency, resident experience, and building safety.
1. Ultra-Lightweight: Physical Load Reduction for Old Buildings
SGS actual testing shows our Flexible Stone has an areal density of only 3.96 kg/m², approximately 1/5 of traditional ceramic tiles and 1/20 of dry-hanging stone.
- No Structural Reinforcement Needed: The vast majority of residential buildings constructed in the 80s and 90s can be renovated directly without expensive structural reviews and reinforcement, fundamentally eliminating the safety hazards associated with added dead loads.
2. Dust-Free & Low-Noise: Say Goodbye to Complaints during “Retrofitting with Residents in Place”
The biggest fear in retrofits is disturbing the residents. Our independently developed Specialized Cutting Device for Flexible Stone (Patent No.: CN202511837739.2) integrates cutting, fixing, pushing, and dust removal.
- Zero Dust, Low Noise: Combined with the unique “thin-bed application without substrate removal” process, there is no need for heavy demolition equipment, drastically reducing construction waste and noise pollution.
- Rapid Delivery: Construction efficiency reaches up to 30-50㎡/person·day, significantly shortening the disturbance period for residents and boosting satisfaction.
3. Breathing Walls: Safeguarding Community Micro-Environment Health
Old walls often have extremely high moisture content; non-breathable materials can lead to internal mold, efflorescence, and even peeling.
- Patented High-Breathability Technology: Precisely regulates microscopic pores, allowing moisture within the wall to escape smoothly.
- Healthy Immunity: Authoritative SGS testing confirms the material possesses an antibacterial rate of >99.9% and an antiviral activity rate of 99.93%, building a solid health barrier for community residents, especially the elderly and children.
4. Absolute Safety: Compliance & Anti-Peeling Guarantee
Residential retrofits have “zero tolerance” for fire safety and falling objects.
- Class A2 Fire Resistance: Awarded the A2-s1, d0 fire resistance certification by SGS, meeting the strict fire safety red lines for high-rise residential buildings.
- Locked-in Stability: Utilizing the Non-Migratory Emulsion patent, the bond strength consistently remains ≥0.4MPa, completely eliminating the risk of hollowing and peeling caused by material aging.
