Iyini insimbi eyishumi engazweli?

Corteninsimbi yigama lokuhweba lohlobo lwensimbi enesimo sezulu eyaziwa ngokuhluka kwayo, izindawo ezigqwalile, ezisetshenziswa kuma-facade ezakhiwo nemifanekiso ebaziwe, futhi ehlanganiswe nokwakheka kwezwe. Ngenkathi igama elithi Korten iphawulwe yi-U.S. Steel Corp., leli gama livame ukusetshenziswa kuzo zonke izinsimbi ezimelana nommbila, iqoqo lama-Steel alloys akha ukubukeka okufana nokugqwala ngokuhamba kwesikhathi. "Uma uthenga i-corten steel namuhla, kungenzeka noma ingabi yi-corten," kusho uBranden Adams, umklami nomkhiqizi e-BaDesign e-Oakland, Calif.

Insimbi ye-Corten ekuqaleni yayiklanyelwe ukuqeda isidingo sopende noma yimuphi omunye ukugqoka okuvikelayo, futhi phakathi neminyaka eminingana ikhiqiza indawo engokwemvelo ye-oxidizing engagcini nje ngokuyivikela ekugxumeni okuqhubekayo, kodwa futhi iyenze ibe yinto ekahle yokuklama. “Ukugqwala kuhle ‘kulokhu ngoba akuvikeli nje insimbi engaphansi kuphela, kodwa futhi kubonisa nemibala emihle, enombala womhlaba,” kusho umdwebi wensimbi ozinze eMontana uPete Christensen.

Kungani uKorten:

"Lokhu kungcono kakhulu emibhedeni yezimbali yesikhathi eside, enganakekelwa kahle," kusho u-Philip Tiffin ovela ku-Five Twenty Industries, imboni yokukhiqiza yase-Auckland. "Usho amashumi eminyaka." Ezinye izinsimbi zizoqhubeka nokugqwala, kuyilapho insimbi yesimo sezulu izogqwala ngezinga elithile. Ukugqwala kuzokwakha ungqimba oluyisivikelo oluzobambezela ukugqwala okuzayo.

U-Andrew Beck, umakhi wezwe, wasebenzisa i-corten ukuze akhe ithala eliyindilinga engadini yakhe e-Perth, e-Australia. Impahla ihlinzeka ngokungafani okumibalabala emaqabunga aluhlaza, futhi i-silhouette yayo encane imvumela ukuthi ahlanganise ama-POTS ahlanganiswe kulolu hlelo lobuciko. “Uma sisebenzisa insimbi ethambile kufanele silindele ukugqwala okuningi ngakho-ke sisebenzisa insimbi esindayo okusho ukuthi inesisindo esikhulu futhi kuba nzima kakhulu ukuyisebenzisa emshinini wokutshala omkhulu,” usho kanje.

Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi yini ekhula ngaphakathi, cortzu imibhede yembewu etshaliwe iyizici zokuklama ezikhangayo ezizongeza ubuhle kunoma iyiphi ingadi.

Ezinye izindlela zokusebenzisa i-CORten:

Ngaphezu kwemibhede yokutshala ephakanyisiwe, Kortzu isetshenziselwa izindonga ezigcina indawo, ukukhanyisa, ama-trellises, uthango, izinkonzo zomlilo namasango. “Bengingakugwema ukuyisebenzisa njengesihlalo ngoba izoba namabala futhi ithole ukushisa kwelanga,” kusho u-Adams.

Futhi, corten ngezinye izikhathi isetshenziselwa izici zamanzi, kodwa ingaba namabala. Uma uthanda noma unethezekile ngayo, yithathele yona,” kusho u-Adams.
