Showcasing Durability and Innovation: Terracotta Jali Screens at the University

In a landmark university project, exposed clay tile (terracotta) was skillfully incorporated into the building’s walls, setting a new standard in architectural design. The challenge for the architect went beyond the initial concept: it was to create terracotta Jali/screens on the facades, a task that demanded both creativity and innovation.

The Architectural Vision

The visionary behind this project, Mr. Sanjay Singh, embarked on designing a unique facade that would not only meet aesthetic expectations but also deliver long-lasting performance. His idea was to use these terracotta Jali/screens in large-size panels, originally considering GRC (Glassfibre Reinforced Concrete) as the material. However, GRC’s weight posed a constraint, potentially adding excessive load to the building.

Key AspectDetails
Project TypeUniversity Facade with Terracotta Jali Screens
ArchitectMr. Sanjay Singh
Initial Material ConsideredGRC (Glassfibre Reinforced Concrete)
ChallengeExcessive weight of GRC for large facade panels
Final Material UsedFRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymer)
Reason for Using FRPLightweight, durable, visually similar to terracotta
UniStone’s RoleSuggested and manufactured FRP screens as a substitute for GRC
Years Since Completion14 years
Current ConditionNo cracks or damage; visually intact
TestimonialMr. Mundra praised long-term performance and pristine condition
Project ImpactShowcases UniStone’s ability to solve architectural challenges
Core Strengths HighlightedInnovation, material expertise, quality assurance, durability

Innovative Solution with FRP

This is where UniStone’s expertise came into play. We offered an equally durable and versatile material: Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP). FRP provided the perfect solution, combining strength, lightweight properties, and resilience. The result was a facade that maintained the visual appeal of traditional terracotta while benefiting from the advanced properties of FRP.

Long-term Durability

The success of this project is underscored by a photoshoot conducted 14 years after its completion. Remarkably, there were no cracks or minor external damages on the FRP screens. The product looked as pristine as it did on the day of installation, a testament to its durability and quality. This long-term performance has been highly appreciated by Mr. Mundra, who remarked on the product’s impeccable condition and the lasting impact of our work.

Project Significance

This university project stands as a significant achievement for UniStone. It showcases our ability to innovate and provide solutions that meet and exceed architectural challenges. The use of FRP for the terracotta Jali/screens not only solved the weight issue but also delivered a facade that remains visually and structurally intact over a decade later.

Conclusion

The terracotta Jali/screens at the university are more than just a design element; they are a testament to UniStone’s commitment to quality and innovation. Mr. Sanjay Singh’s creative vision, combined with our advanced materials, resulted in a project that continues to inspire and impress. This project reaffirms UniStone’s position as a trusted provider of architectural solutions that stand the test of time.
