| Description | लेपित पर्दे की दीवार (Lepit Parde Kee Deewar), or glazed curtainwall, represents a modern adaptation of traditional facade principles, albeit with industrial materials. Primarily composed of glass (silica, soda ash, lime) and metal (typically aluminum or steel), its material science hinges on the properties of these components. Glass, sourced from silica deposits (बालुका – baluka) analogous to traditional sand quarries, exhibits a density around 2500 kg/m³ and thermal conductivity of 1-4 W/mK [1]. The metal framing, replacing traditional stone (शिला – shila) or wood (काष्ठ – kashta) elements, provides structural support. Sealants, often polymers, ensure weather tightness. While not directly rooted in ancient Indic construction like *vastu shastra* principles, the concept of light modulation (प्रकाश व्यवस्था – prakash vyavastha) through glazed surfaces echoes historical use of translucent materials. Conservation focuses on sealant integrity and glass panel replacement, considering thermal expansion and wind load resistance. Durability depends on material compatibility and UV resistance. |
