The FBI is called in to investigate when a series of bodies shows up around Ohio: all of them alphas, and all of them skinned alive. With the killer’s motives a mystery, Ludwig Beilschmidt pulls Arthur Kirkland from the classroom and his vigil at the comatose Madeline Williams’ bedside once more to lend his insight to the case - with very little mind paid to the fact that the busy Arthur, omega and single mother to a six month-old daughter, might have some scheduling issues. Necessity - and pressure from Ludwig - drives Arthur into reluctantly asking Gabriel Fernandes for a favour at short notice. Gabriel is delighted to help Arthur with babysitting - once he has, of course, recovered from both the surprise of learning that Arthur Kirkland even has a baby to care for and, presented with the adorable armful that is a sleepy Lenore Kirkland, feeling a little skinned raw himself.

Chapter 3: deep into that darkness peering

Ludwig’s vague ‘Ohio’ turns out to be Lucas County, Ohio, on the outskirts of the city of Toledo. An abandoned manufacturing plant for electrical goods out in the suburbs off highway 24, just one of many factories standing empty along the more desolate stretches of road.

Even in the deepening shadows of a fading sunset, it’s obvious that the plant is falling into wrack and ruin. Some of its buildings are still mostly intact but more than a few are falling in on themselves, roofs everywhere full of holes and insides open to the elements. The paint is peeling everywhere moss, mould and mildew hasn’t spread, cracks in the plaster giving way to brick dust and rubble. Weeds have pushed up between the tarmac and cement that had once been part of the paving outside, broken glass from smashed windows and abandoned beer bottles crunching underfoot with gravel.

Squatters or youths looking for a thrill have clearly been in all the buildings at some point. Old empty chip packets and smushed-up polystyrene cartons lie caught-up in loops of abandoned rusting wire and under plastic shells of white furniture that never was, aluminium cans rolling noisily in the evening breeze until they dink to a gentle stop against a wall or piece of broken building. The local wildlife has, thankfully, mostly been scared away by the greater vermin of law enforcement officials moving in, but there are probably still a few rats and stray cats about the place somewhere. Bats and birds as well.

Truly, the only thing going for the plant is that it - at least - hadn’t been too far from the airport.

The evening breeze blows by again as Ludwig’s team unload themselves from their assigned cars to the plant, sending long cool fingers up the nape of Arthur’s exposed neck and threading his hair out on the wind’s tangled loom. Arthur shivers. He hadn’t planned for an evening outdoors in damn Ohio when he’d dressed himself that morning, and he’s cold without his scarf.

The sight of the factory itself does not fill him with the warm and fuzzies. Not the building, nor the swarms of law enforcement bustling about the place like flies under their own glaring floodlights as the night grows dark around them. The Toledo and Cleveland offices have sent their agents here already, and a large truck has been set up as the HQ for the scene.

“Oh, Ludwig,” Arthur sighs as the other man crunches his way through debris to walk alongside him, clasping his heart sarcastically-sweet in the picture-perfect pose of a swooning omega. “You always take me to the nicest of places.”

Already ahead of them, call-me-Julia (on the plane) Blumenschien smothers a laugh as she negotiates her way under the crime scene tape with her bulky kit, her long silvery braid swinging with the motion. Lovino Vargas doesn’t bother hiding his smirk as he slinks along after her with the teams’ camera equipment, and even Kiku Honda, usually the most painfully polite of the group, looks to be holding back his grin as he hauls the last of their things out of the cars’ trunks.

As he often does when he’s getting his own way, Ludwig takes the magnanimous approach. Bolsters morale by accepting the dig pointed his way - and even spares Arthur a wry smile as he lifts the crime scene tape for them both to duck under. “Tell me if you feel the same way after you’ve seen the scene. We believe it might be the second one this month.”

Huh. Arthur reaches up to brush back a strand or two of his flyaway hair. “Nothing worth making a fuss about until number two?”

“Once could always be a freak incident,” Ludwig says seriously. “Twice is something we have to be concerned about.” He gestures over a jacketed agent who had been standing at the steps of the HQ truck, the woman obviously waiting for their arrival. Late 20s, maybe, Asian American and serious-looking. Not someone Arthur recognises, but clearly an agent in charge. “Special Agent Linh?”

The agent - Linh - nods, her sleek black ponytail bobbing neatly with the motion. “Sir.” She looks tired and smells faintly of coffee and something floral. An omega. A green woven ribbon omega collar is just visible under her FBI jacket and buttoned-up shirt.

Arthur could really do with a coffee right now. With the night off from looking after Lenore and no need to worry about his caffeine intake provided he ditches the milk he produces for the rest of the night, he could even have a strong one.

“Beilschmidt,” Ludwig introduces himself. Jerks his chin at Arthur. “Special Agent Arthur Kirkland. The latest report?”

“Three bodies,” says Linh, “no ID for any of them. All men, strongly suspected to be alphas. Estimated time of death was two days ago, based upon the early insect activity.”

Which means young maggots. Lovely. Arthur isn’t sure exactly why he’s smiling faintly at Linh with maggots on the table - only to belatedly realise that the other omega reminds him of Marianne. Nothing in her appearance, but that floral smell is of sweet pea. Sweet pea, with Linh, and something like lotuses and lily-of-the-valley. No white musk or roses, nor creamy beeswax blended with vanilla.

Arthur squashes the smile. “Why is there no confirmation of the victims’ dynamic?” Most alphas - even dead ones - are easy enough to identify just by their scent, but, should scent fail, it isn’t hard to pull down a pair of jeans and look for a knot.

Linh licks her lips with a quick dart of tongue - trepidatious. “Each victim has been tied to a chair and had all their skin cut off. Flayed. We’re assuming the victims are all alphas based upon the presence of mass alpha pheromones in the room and what we think are penises with knots on all three victims, but there was some glandular and genital mutilation across all of the bodies. No concrete identification could be made without disturbing the scene, so we need to wait for confirmation about the victims’ dynamics in the lab.”

“Other wounds?” asks Arthur, but Linh just gestures helplessly at him. Another question that the lab will have to answer for them once the bodies are taken to the morgue. “In your opinion, was the flaying done pre or post-mortem?”

The smell of dry, almost sour, flowers in Linh’s scent spikes a little higher, a weird stress note in it edging it into the realms of unpleasant. Her gaze going distant: she’s remembering the scene. “Based upon the amount of blood and the pain scent in the pheromones when we first entered the room where we found the victims… I’d say pre.”

Skinned alive.

The night grows darker yet, and Arthur finds himself unconsciously shifting closer to Ludwig’s body beside him. Seeking some of the warmth exuded by the alpha’s steady bulk, even as Ludwig’s expression turns grim.

Ludwig: “Who called it in?”

Linh: “A man from Toledo’s Urbex League.” Elaborating at Ludwig’s blank look - “Urban explorers.”

Ludwig, exactly as clueless as before: “‘Urban explorers.’”

“People who explore vacant, abandoned, and ruined buildings for fun.”

“It’s a hobby for thrill-seekers with an interest in photography, architecture and historical documentation,” says Arthur. Rolling his shoulders free of the stiffness of cold before stuffing his hands in his pockets to keep them warm. “Sometimes it’s all about the art. Sometimes it’s a search for inspiration. Sometimes it’s a genuine desire to, uh, to preserve constructs for the historical record that others don’t think - or aren’t allowed - to keep. It’s an acknowledgement of the lovely ache of transience with a heap of rebellion thrown in.”

“Stick it to the man,” Linh says drolly, and Arthur likes her all the more for it.

“There’s a moving kind of beauty to be found in the decay of uninhabited space,” he adds, Ludwig still looking unconvinced beside him, “the man-made slowly sliding back into the grasp of nature.”

A bit like sending the painstaking self-construction of a man that is Dr. Fernandes out on a trip to Arthur’s little refuge in Wolf Trap. Unlike many of his neighbours in the local community, Arthur had kept his home as its original build, preserving the wild on his acres of land instead of slapping a McMansion down on top of it all. Nature rules the territory around Arthur’s little white-washed house, a thriving chaos that will have no respect for Dr. Fernandes' soft charcoal and cream attire. Arthur can only hope that nothing too terrible will happen to the alpha as he takes Lenore to Arthur’s neighbour and stops in at Arthur’s house for the dogs. (A little bit of coyote shit never really hurt anyone in the long-term, but Arthur would certainly pay to see Dr. Fernandes wrinkle that big arch nose of his after getting some of the crap on his fancy shoes.)

…Dr. Fernandes should be in Wolf Trap - or just leaving the area - about now, actually. Arthur takes one hand out of his pocket to check his phone. No frantic text messages or missed calls from Dr. Fernandes, so Lenore is fine. He can breathe.

Arthur slides his phone back into his pocket. “...Could also just be ghost-hunters.”

Ludwig huffs through his nose, his scent bleeding with exasperated chillies and black pepper. “Go,” he says to Arthur. Nods meaningfully to where the greatest hubbub of sound and light is coming from on-site. “I’ll be right behind you.”

Arthur sighs as well, but obediently leaves Ludwig with Special Agent Linh to go investigate the scene. Blumenschien-Julia, Honda and Vargas had long since gone ahead of him, and Arthur isn’t surprised to see the three of them as he approaches one building less damaged than the others, its heavy industrial door pulled wide open to the night. Floodlights, conversation, and the heavy iron scent of blood drift out.

One of the original investigators - fully suited and booted - stops Arthur before he goes inside. Hands Arthur a fresh pair of nitrile gloves and overshoe covers in matching blue, the whole set reminding Arthur quite starkly of his daughter’s matching sets of mittens and booties for fall. All he’s missing is the hat.

Inside: a big cement box. This building appears to have been used as a storage warehouse in the past, old, now empty, shelves disintegrating into rust where they’ve fallen over on the floor. The few small windows around the large room seem to still be intact, set high up on the walls so that, in the past, no-one passing by would have been able to sneak a peek at the goods stored inside.

It’s a good place to kill someone. Close the door, and almost all sound and light would be trapped inside the warehouse’s four thick walls. With the plant abandoned as it is… three victims could very easily be tortured to death, and no-one but the killer would ever scent their suffering or hear their screams.

Even days after their death and with new, living people on-site the air is still smeared with the intense suffering of alphas, a pungent enough odour that Arthur rocks back onto his back foot for a moment as he steps inside the warehouse. Unable to stop the instinctive wrinkling of his nose, the immediate defensive hunching-up of his shoulders to protect his vulnerable throat. His eyes prickle, threatening to shift to gold, Arthur’s body responding to the pheromones in the air and sending the first trickles of defensive hormones out into his bloodstream. Alert to any danger.

For the scent to have built up to this degree, the victims must have been tortured for many, many hours. Death by a thousand cuts: for most, being flayed isn't a quick way to die.

Photographers and note-takers scuttle around the warehouse like beetles over a corpse. Corpses. Three bodies sit slumped in their plain wooden seats, all in a row, stripped - badly - of their skin from head to foot. Glistening wet muscle, fat and bone exposed to be buzzed over by flies. Hands tied behind their backs, ankles lashed to the feet of the chairs. Blood dried in pools on the floor.

Arthur studies the scene, takes as deep a breath as he can bear, and then lets the golden pendulum in his mind swing.

All of the other people in the room disappear. Then the flash of cameras, the crime scene markers, and the yellow tape. The blood pools on the floor recede like the tide, drain backwards, upwards, up the wet muscle that used to be three men’s legs. Maggots are unborn, retreating into their shells around crusted eyes and slashed-up ears, and flies depart from the buzzing strings of beads they had made against lipless mouths. Skin regrows across mangled limbs like lichen stretching out over the trunk of a tree - but none of the victims wake. All three men remain slumped in their bonds, naked, alive but unconscious.

Arthur circles them to examine them from behind. No signs of head trauma on their scalped skulls, nothing overtly obvious to indicate a reason for the victims’ unconsciousness prior to flaying. They’d likely been drugged.

Further back in time. The victims had been brought into the room one by one, all at the same time. Dragged - there are scuff-marks from the door to a patch of floor outside of the pools of blood the size of a man’s body. A torn-off shirt button too clean to have been here since the plant went out of business in the same area meaning that the victims had been clothed originally, stripped off in the same patch of floor before being dragged over to the chairs. Tied in place with unforgiving cable ties.

The killer waits. The killer waits until the sedating properties of the drugs begin to wear off and his three victims all wake. The victims are still weak, sluggish, unable to resist when their kidnapper approaches them with a blade -

“Any sign of the murder weapon?” Arthur asks the room.

Julia, nearest to Arthur, answers him, too busy bagging up the abandoned shirt button to look over. “Nope. We’re looking for something incredibly sharp though, a blade no longer than six inches. Slight curve.”

“A dressing knife.” The tool of a hunter. Or butcher.

Arthur sinks back into his recreation, the weight of a 6 inch dressing knife comfortable in his hand. Its grip is warm and familiar: an old friend.

The killer begins with the victim in the leftmost chair. The blood under his corpse is the oldest, and blood spatter indicates that he was conscious enough to struggle at least a little when the knife was placed to his skin. Feet first - the killer wanted the victim to last as long as possible, and watch every moment as his skin was sliced from his body. To scream. The killer wanted all three of his victims to watch, John Does #2 and #3 watching #1 tortured to death. #3 watching #2. And #3…

This is personal. I skin these men slowly, one by one, so that the others may watch. I have ordered them by their sins, so that those whose sins were greatest will wait longest for their death to arrive. Look at me. Know me. Do you remember me now? It is important to me that you see what you really are on the inside.

John Doe #1 still has a patch of skin over his right ankle bone almost the size of Arthur’s palm. Thumb-sized pieces of skin hanging loose at the back of his knees, under the curve of his ass where it meets the chair. Eyelids, and the remnants of a nose.

John Doe #2 has been flayed so badly he’s lost one of his balls, and it’s impossible to tell if the man had had a knot at one point with what little flesh remains of his genitals underneath all the blood, under the slippery pool of his own intestines where they’ve slithered forwards out of his abdomen and onto the remains of his lap. There’s a vicious gouge in his perineum: Doe #2 talked back.

I’ve done this before. Humans are not my usual prey - I know how to handle my knife, but the shape of the animal beneath the blade is still unfamiliar to me. That my inexperience extends your suffering only brings me more pleasure, because you deserve to suffer. My cuts grow more precise as I move along the row of my victims, but now I know how to keep you alive for longer as I cut. Peeling off your skin inch by inch, dropping it in a pile in front of you on the floor. Warming to my task.

Arthur frowns, rising from his crouch near the third body. “The killer knew these people.” He’s shaking, the screams of three men still echoing in his ears. Has to clench his hands into fists to get control of himself, the scent of raw spoiled meat stuck in his nose, itching across the roof of his mouth.

“Well, I’m glad someone did,” Vargas snarks, lowering his camera after snapping a picture of the first body’s bound wrists. “We’ve got nothing to ID them with. No clothes, no wallets, and not enough left of their facial features for us to run a photograph of them through the system. If their DNA doesn’t show up in our files we’ll have to start looking at dental records.” Notoriously spotty.

“Any of the missing skin turned up?”

“Nada.” Julia again, still scouring the floor for any more pieces of clothing. For strands of fabric and the marks of feet. “Victims’ personal effects are still AWOL as well. Agents from the local field offices have already swept the plant’s buildings searching for them, and they’ve got the K9s out in the surrounding fields. Just in case any of it’s been dumped outside.”

It’s almost fully dark now outside, so the sniffer dogs should be coming in for the night.

“Just what we need,” Vargas gripes. Grumpy enough that, even though Vargas is a beta, Arthur can smell him from a few metres away, Vargas’ scent green and sharp at the edges with lemon basil over something thicker, spicier, smokier, and woodier. A church’s herb garden kitchen - lavender, something, something and frankincense? “Paw Patrol at the party hosting the world’s most fucked-up ménage à trois. The last time one of the field offices brought out the K9s near one of our crime scenes, we got dog fur contaminating the evidence.”

“You’re kvetching like you’re the one who had to get the DNA of 8 dogs to eliminate them from the suspect pool,” Julia grumbles back at him, exuding just enough of her own sour cherry and almonds alpha scent that Arthur almost misses the moment that the notes of cedar, coffee, pepper and baked bread hit the air around all of them, Ludwig Beilschmidt entering the old warehouse.

It says something about the raw meat stink of the bodies, their pheromones and their blood, that Ludwig smells appealing to Arthur’s nose. An actual beacon of stability amongst this mess, safe harbour for Arthur’s nose.

“Ménage à quatre,” Honda says softly, his eyes limned with the same instinctual gold as Arthur’s. Ducking his chin apologetically when Vargas only looks at him blankly and offers a puzzled huh? “Quatre, not trois. The killer in this scenario makes four.”

Arthur would’ve quite happily taken examining a scene after a real ménage à quatre over this. It wouldn’t have been the first time in his life he’d had to search for evidence using UV - wouldn’t even have been the first time he’d had to do so with four completely naked, thankfully still alive, civilians right beside him.

“This wasn’t an act of passion,” he says, pitching his voice a little further for Ludwig, “but one of cold and pretty methodical revenge. A slow, controlled burn.” Arthur gestures to the victims, one after the other. “One. Two. Three. He deliberately flayed them one by one, so the later victims watched the earlier victims die. They were drugged when they were first brought here, but they were all alive and conscious when the knife was applied to the first one’s skin.”

Julia whistles. “They were tortured.”

That’s exactly the word for it. “Our victims were still under the effects of whatever concoction they were drugged with. They struggled in their bonds - but not too much. Damage from the ties into the raw flesh is relatively minimal, and blood spatter hasn’t gone too far from the bodies.”

Honda pipes up again. “That suggests a high dose of sedatives, paralytics.”

“Which suggests our unsub might be someone who isn’t able to - or doesn’t think they’re able to - handle an adult alpha male without the aid of pharmaceuticals, even when the victim is tied down.”

“Handling one alpha is a great deal different to handling three,” Julia points out. “The killer could just be cautious.”

“We have no way to tell that the victims were awake when the killer started hacking at them,” Vargas complains. “We can check for stress hormones during the autopsy, but the body naturally produces those when it's attacked anyway. The whole revenge theory is entirely suppositional.”

“Suppose then,” grunts Ludwig from behind the beta, and Vargas nearly jumps out of his own skin.

Arthur waves sharply to the body in front of him again: John Doe #3. “He pissed himself pre-mortem, pre-flaying. You can smell the ammonia, and it’s diluted some of the blood that dripped down onto the floor after the urine.”

(“I have it,” says Honda, and approaches so he can snap a few more photos of the floor under victim #3’s chair. To Vargas - “Did the earlier team take swabs?” Vargas only shrugs at him irritably.

“Alright, sourpuss,” says Julia, “you get the fun job of going to find out.”)

“Skinning is an act of humiliation,” says Arthur. “Our killer had to show each of these men exactly who they were underneath the front they were putting up for the world. And make them sorry for it.”

Julia hmms in thought, idly spinning the evidence bags in her gloved hands. “A ‘beauty is only skin deep’ sort of situation?”

Ludwig looks sceptical. “You think these men were targeted for their vanity?” For all their posturing, alphas rarely have the word applied to them.

Julia, unlike many others of her dynamic, has a reasonable amount of self-awareness. (When she wishes to apply it.) She shrugs. “Every alpha gets a little vain during pre-rut. Maybe they all peacocked in front of the wrong person.”

“I’m not sure,” says Arthur, frowning again. “All I really know for certain is that these men did something that personally upset their killer.”

Ludwig looks at Arthur meaningfully. Jerks his chin towards the warehouse’s door before heading in that direction himself. Walk with me.

Arthur goes and walks with him, falling into step with Ludwig just outside the building. Night’s chilly mantle drapes itself out over Arthur’s shoulders again, the crunching of gravel and glass underfoot shockingly loud against the quiet murmuring of agents around them. Arthur has forgotten to take his booties off, and the sharp debris on the ground is slicing their thin plastic to ribbons.

In the distance, a dog barks.

“You were asking about the dogs,” says Ludwig.

“Anything?” Arthur asks, but Ludwig only shakes his head. “Likely the unsub took the victims’ skin with them then.”

“A trophy?”

Arthur shrugs, enjoying the smell of the fresh air outside the warehouse. Staring off into the night rather than at the blinding FBI floodlights, the chaos that is the HQ truck. The road directly outside the manufacturing plant is empty. “...You said this is the second scene.”

“The first body was found three weeks ago. West of here, in an abandoned farm building off Highway 20A, just outside the village of Delta.”

There’s a half-lit billboard out there in the darkness, where the plant’s short entrance road meets the nearby highway. Tall, spectral white letters haunt the display:

WHERE ARE YOU GOING? Heaven? or Ohio? 855-FOR-TRUTH John 3:36

“How far from here?” Arthur asks. Turning his eyes away from the promise of manufactured heaven to concentrate on his balance, lifting up his feet, one after the other, to pull off the remains of the elasticated overshoes he had been given earlier. The matching gloves soon follow, and Arthur warms up his twitching fingers by rubbing them over the back of his neck.

“Around half an hour by car,” Ludwig replies. Looking about as pleased as Arthur feels hearing that answer, Ludwig’s eyes glowing red-white with light reflected from behind Arthur. That’s a lot of ground for the investigation to cover. Where are all the serial-killing homebodies these days?

“The unsub has a relatively wide working area. Must know the region pretty well.”

“It is not too far from here to Michigan,” Ludwig points out gruffly. Another negative. “We could be looking at a killer from out of state.”

“Maybe.” Arthur purses his lips, the tips of his fangs sharp against his tongue. He doesn’t want to imagine another serial killer at large across state lines right now, especially not in states so far from his home. “...What made the locals link the first body to these three? Going from one victim to three is quite a quick escalation. Sudden change in M.O. could mean this is a copycat.”

“First victim is also an alpha with her skin cut off. Still no ID.”

Arthur pauses. “‘Her’? Our victims are all men.” That’s another big difference between the two scenes. “Change in victim count, change in primary gender of victim...”

“Do we have a copycat,” asks Ludwig, a perfect echo to Arthur’s own thoughts, “or someone who knows just enough to throw us off?”

A little knowledge can be a dangerous thing. “Maybe someone who’s learning. There’s a noticeable increase in the precision of the cuts going from the first victim to the last, a - uh - developing technique. The killer was getting better with practice.”

“Learning on the job.” Ludwig sighs, reaching up with one hand to rub at his temples. “Practice makes perfect, they say.”

Arthur’s sigh echoes him, Arthur using his own hands to knuckle at his tired eyes. Multicoloured stars flash and twinkle in the dark behind his eyelids. His nose is cold. “We need to see the first body.”

“We’re working on it. The locals are putting up a fuss.”

“They’re hitting us with the red tape?” Arthur frowns, a flash of frustration ripping through him. Isn’t it enough that they’ve come out to Ohio to take a look at this mess without being asked to perform tricks as well? “Do they want the FBI to handle this case or not?”

“Oh,” says Ludwig, bone-dry and mirthless, “the local bureaucracy wants rid of it. But apparently there’s some complication with two open missing persons cases and the families involved.” He snorts - “The rich families involved.”

“...They’re each wondering if the Jane Doe is their missing person.” No matter that they’d all get their answers quicker if they just cooperated with the FBI. Arthur shakes his head, muttering - “More money than sense.”

Ludwig doesn’t disagree with him, sighing a long plume of warm breath out into the increasingly cold night. “Money makes the world go round.” Not logic. Fuck it.

*****

Special Agent Linh - Vietnam Julia Blumenschein - Female Prussia

Fun fact: sweet pea has always been an asshole of a scent to obtain for perfumiers. The flower, often referred to as Queen of the Annuals, produces a stress hormone when picked, which ruins its beautiful smell. It’s also a flower that’s used extensively in those fashionable teas/tisanes/cocktails that change colour as you pour them.

Thank you, still, to my friend Reid, who helped me with Ohio lore! The billboard Arthur spots here is based on a real one that google claims is in Ohio, so any mistakes there are google’s fault rather than mine. >>

The descending lift was claustrophobic. The landsaint was becoming an under-landsaint with every jagged tug towards the bowels of the earth. She kept her breath steady and long so as not to panic. A Dromag attendant in the opposite corner of the lift had his arms crossed, and she could feel his hot breath, and smell its pungent spiciness.

The light approached from beneath, piece-by-piece with each pull of the chains. (The bigger cities had automatic lift mechanisms, but these were still hand-cranked.) The landsaint must have begun to hold her breath when the light first appeared, because it escaped in a single burst once they reached the lift’s landing below.

The attendant opened the brass-barred door, letting in more light from the landing. “This floor,” he mumbled, well-practiced but bored, “Market. Shrine.” He stood on his tiptoes to check the landsaint’s irises. “You know this. Blest day, saint.”

The landsaint stepped out of the lift, which immediately began to ascend to pick up more visitors to the city’s belly.

She hated the air down here. Dry and stuffy. Even when the air was cool, it felt hot. She was going to finish her work here and return topside, as soon as possible.

Two half-halberd-wielding Greshtal guards let her through with a nod. The landsaint returned the gesture curtly. Beyond the guarded brass door was a deep-dug city of stone, four stories high, stone stairs winding up and down the sides of stone buildings to stone balconies giving landing for brass doors, wooden planks from surface trees filling in gaps and forming crossings where the stone streets were narrow. Blackflame lamps kept the streets and stairs lit, but the closer to the roof, the darker it became. Up there, tall shadows danced. Only Dromag were short enough for the low ceilings in these reaches, but children of all types daredeviled from ledge to ledge.

The lower two levels were purely commercial, various shops and stores and groceries and boutiques lining the streets and dazzling passersby with brightly painted signs and intricately-woven tapestries. The two levels above were for the homes of the merchants. But not all who did business in this district lived here. Many commuted with their stalls and carts from the lower residential levels via the bigger, industrial lift by the main gates of the surface town.

The landsaint scraped past pedestrians and took in some of the shops and stalls. She saw a smithy selling blades –

– but the smith couldn’t call them blades. It was illegal in this jurisdiction of Kolqust for most tenvo to carry weapons larger than a work-knife. But many smiths circumvented this restriction by selling sharp scraps of bronze that almost looked like blades, but by the precise wording of the law couldn’t be called weapons. All it took was some string, resin, and a suitable length of wood to manufacture a “self-defense implement” at home. The landsaints politely ignored these loopholes; it was their job to enforce laws, not argue them.

– a wooden sign, painted with the words “mostly-meat sausages” (in smaller script beneath: “accepting chit only”), indicated such meats were hawked at the rickety stall where it hung by a lanky Dromag –

– those words being all the butcher needed to claim to bypass a law regulating the use of mineral additives in such products. Dromag had sturdy teeth and hardy stomachs, and could handle a little clay or limestone in their mixed meats. (During ancient times of poverty, clay was a common food source for the Dromag, earning them the now rarely-used sobriquet “clay-eaters.”) Aajakiri and Greshtal, on the other hand, could not digest these things. But when the prices were this low, a chipped tooth or a little indigestion was worth it.

– in a dim corner, lit by an array of colored paper lanterns, sat the waterpipe lounge –

– where the only smoke of griidc could be found in these times, as individual possession and consumption of the narcotic by claypipe had been outlawed by the state about a decade ago, much to the dismay of the large smoking subculture of Kolqust. Begrudgingly, tenvo would pay to smoke in these lounges for an hour, taking up their hoses around the communal waterpipe and allowing the smokemaster to supply them with their fix.

– a beautifully engraved storefront advertised “Oshr’s Fine Jewelry.” Through the open arches of the facade were rows of glass-protected counters bearing precious jewels, rings, necklaces, bracelets, anklets, torques, tiaras, and more. In the back, at a counter operated by Oshr herself, a beautiful face-painted Aajakiri, were displayed the finely cut, delicately-faceted receptacle gems for spirits, future thoughtstones –

– illegal to fill without saint sanction, but not illegal to cut and sell beforehand. Only saints or temple priests are allowed to capture spirits or sell thoughtstones.

The landsaints brow-plates flexed as she listened vaguely in the direction of the jeweler’s shop. Something tickled her brow-plates, and she focused on it.

It spoke of mastery. It spoke of a job well done, a product complete. Satisfaction – of the mind and the chit-purse. A deal. A transaction. A bargain sworn.

The landsaint squinted at Oshr. Her neck gleamed with a brilliant ruby. Personal thoughtstone. Not for sale.

The landsaint’s brow-plates resumed a neutral position as she carried on down the street. Finally she reached her destination: the town shrine. Its set of concentric walls were beautifully engraved and brightly painted, the outer ring etched with the laws of the priests of Raam. The landsaint ascended the radial stairs, passing one circular gate as she did, leaving behind the first circle, representing Uodh, the Void. The next ring depicted the victories of local saints throughout history – this circle represented Uorh, the Word. She passed its gate, leaving her one more circle to pass – Eilh, the World – displaying the triumphs and tribulations of Raam before he ascended to bring the day. Its gate had a door, which she slowly pushed open to enter the outer sanctum, where only priests and saints could pass.

A fairly reverent tenvo, the landsaint closed the door tightly behind her. She had expected to be greeted by a priest as soon as she entered, but none appeared; all that welcomed her was the floral scent of welic incense smoke wafting from censers hanging from the high rafters. Taking a left, she walked the circular corridor, lined with shelves bearing sacred scrolls, tomes, and tablets, until she came back around to the Eilh gate. She doubled back, but stopped as she met the Raam gate, a tightly shut door to the inner sanctum, halfway down.

Her brow-plates widened, and she swallowed deep. The door of the Raam gate was of plain wood, ornamented only with a single sacred symbol etched in gold in the center. Hand shaking, she reached out for the handle…

The door burst open from the inside, and a priest rushed out. It was Jark, coadjutor of the shrine’s chief priest. The landsaint’s hands were safely behind her back, but she did catch a glimpse of the black velvet curtain behind Jark shifting – the last barrier between unsanctified eyes and divinity.

“Imreb!” snapped Jark as he nearly ran into her, clutching his chest with his large Dromag hand. “What are you doing here?”

“I was waiting for you, Holy,” Imreb replied.

“You’ve been waiting?” stormed Jark as he pushed Imreb from the Raam gate. “I got so tired of waiting for you that I went ahead and joined the other Holies for evening communion!” He made a show of straightening his beard. “Where have you been?”

“Capturing a fallen spirit topside,” Imreb explained in a rush, flustered. “For young Kheloz.” She patted the collection case on her belt.

“Ah, young Kheloz…” mused Jark, still stroking his beard. “I remember being as young and curious as him…”

Imreb wondered if Jark had, in a past life, been a miner, or logger, or wrestler; he had a sturdy physique, and was tall for a Dromag, coming halfway up Imreb’s chest. He was this shrine’s first Dromag priest – they usually selected for Aajakiri with keen brow-plates. But Jark had somehow formulated a roundabout mystical way of interpreting thoughtstones; his rate of success was high enough to be dependable.

“Nevermind that,” Jark said, taking a seat at a bench wedged between two shelves. “Have a seat, landsaint.”

Imreb obeyed, sitting next to Jark. “What troubles you, Holy?”

Jark reached into a pocket of his robes and retrieved a small sapphire thoughtstone. But Imreb didn’t need to attune her brow-plates to hear it speak.

It spoke of tears. It spoke of wailing, weeping. Wet eyes and running noses too pitiful to look at, but demanding attention regardless.

“It’s leaking,” said Imreb, having to fight back her own tears from sympathetic reaction.

“As I suspected,” Jark said with a nod. He extended a massive hand to show Imreb the stone. “See the facets, here? Asymmetrical. Imperfect cut.”

“Where did you get this?” Imreb asked, her brow-plates receding into their sockets, trying to distance themselves from the pained thoughtstone.

“One of your knights confiscated it from an Aajakiri thief. Not sure the original source.”

Imreb leaned forward. “Which knight?”

“Confidential, I’m afraid,” said Jark with an apologetic smile raising the corners of his whiskers. “But it’s not the only such thoughtstone I’ve been delivered. It’s a pattern, now.”

“‘Illicit manufacture and sale for profit of thoughtstones,’” quoted Imreb from the legal code. “Could likely append ‘improper treatment of a spirit’ due to the poor gem quality.”

“Precisely,” agreed Jark. “An investigation is in order. Too delicate for a knight. You’ll handle it personally.” He handed Imreb the thoughtstone, which she quickly pocketed to silence it. “Start with talking to Oshr, the jeweler.”

“You suspect her?”

“Raam, no. Her handiwork far surpasses this. Don’t even suggest that, she’ll just be offended. Be discreet with her. Don’t let on too much.”

“With all due respect, I know how to conduct an investigation, Holy.”

“Of course, Imreb, of course,” said Jark with a gracious nod. “Go. Do what you must.”

Imreb nodded and stood to leave the shrine. “Wait,” said Jark as she was halfway to the Eilh gate.

Imreb turned back. “Yes, Holy?”

“I probably shouldn’t tell you this, but…the knight who brought me that thoughtstone told me they suspected you. That’s why they brought it to me instead of you directly.”

Imreb’s eyes widened, her brow-plates spreading apart. “Holy, I-I…”

“Don’t worry,” said the Holy with a wave of his hand. “Mortals can be easily mistaken. Would I have discussed this with you if I believed you were the culprit?”

“I suppose not, Holy.”

“Relax, and do your duty, saint.”

Imreb nodded and left the shrine.

- - - - -

Imreb knocked on the arch bordering Oshr’s shop as the jeweler nearly finished shuttering it. Oshr spun around, eyes and brow-plates wide, clutching her chest. She exhaled sharply when she saw Imreb. “Saint! A pleasure. What can I do for you?”

“Evening, Oshr,” smiled Imreb. “I’d like to ask you a few questions, if you don’t mind…but first, why are you so startled? What troubles you?”

“Oh, nothing,” said the jeweler with a dismissive wave of her hand. But a flutter of her brow-plates indicated she was lying. Imreb copied the flutter to show she caught on. “Okay,” admitted Oshr. “You are my landsaint, after all…” Oshr looked around nervously before coming closer to Imreb and whispering, “Lately, I’ve noticed suspicious youths leering at my wares from a distance. I don’t see them now, but I’ve seen them the past few nights, around this time. I worry they’re planning something drastic.”

Imreb, a good, stoic landsaint, kept an even expression even at this alarming news. “Do you know these youths?”

“No, no…but…is there anything you can do?”

“I’m afraid not,” Imreb sighed, “without any hard evidence. But I’ll assign one of my knights to keep watch down here at night. Would that make you feel safer?”

“That would be wonderful, landsaint,” said Oshr, smiling wide, her hands clapping together, and her brow-plates raising. “Now, sweet landsaint, what was it you needed?”

“Let’s speak on that inside,” said Imreb, gesturing through the gap still left in the storefront’s shutters.

Oshr nodded and led Imreb inside, closing the shutter behind them. Oshr stood behind the counter at the back as Imreb leaned against it from the other side.

“Allow me to begin by showing you something,” Imreb said. From her coat pocket she retrieved the leaking sapphire thoughtstone, her brow-plates clenched so as to ignore its speech.

Oshr reacted to the thoughtstone’s wailing immediately, her brow-plates seeming to nearly pull away from her face. “Raamfire,” she moaned, “what are you showing me, saint?”

“Confiscated faulty thoughtstone, as you may have guessed.” Imreb set the sapphire on the counter between them. “What can you tell me about its manufacture?”

Oshr futilely covered her brow-plates with one slender hand and delicately plucked the sapphire between thumb and forefinger. She rolled the cut stone between her fingers, eyes scanning the facets. “Yes,” she said, squinting, “there are some obvious flaws here. Rather glaring, honestly. What novice cut this?”

“That’s what I was hoping you could tell me,” Imreb sighed. “Do you know any local…amateurs or enthusiasts?”

“Well…there’s of course the topside jeweler, Glaa’ib, but while insufficient to my skill –” she made a sour face “– he is not this bad��I believe he took on an apprentice lately, but I heard they had a falling out. Not sure what happened to him.”

“What was his name?” Imreb asked.

“Oh, I’m not sure…Something like ‘Druugam’ or ‘Mogram’ or…something. I’m sorry, saint, I only know through hearsay from customers.”

“Don’t worry, Oshr. You’ve been very helpful.” Imreb held out a hand to take back the thoughtstone. Oshr quickly thrust it forward, grateful to be rid of it. The landsaint put it back in her pocket, silencing it and pleasing the two Aajakiri’s brow-plates.

“Blest day,” concluded Imreb as she opened the shutters and passed through the gap.

“Blest day, saint,” responded Oshr, who resumed the process of closing up shop.

Outside, Imreb looked up at the shrine at the end of the street. A solemn group of the faithful gathered around the outer Uodh wall: some kneeling with small prayerbooks in hand, counting out repetitions on their rosary belts as they mumbled the words of ancient saints; some ran their fingers reverently over the gold-inscribed engraved laws of the wall’s surface; others partook in heated ritual debate over the dictates of the priests and Raam himself.

Imreb gazed down the rings of the gates and tried to imagine what lay beyond the last, the Raam gate, that she almost caught a glimpse of earlier. She offered a prayer to that vague image and made her way topside to return home for the night.

This place is beautiful. I wasn't sure beauty like this could still exist on Mesa Island. I hope I get to meet the Butterfly Matriarch. She sounds pretty cool.

To be fair, she wasn't wrong. Shopkeeper said the contrast between time periods was pretty cool here. Credit where it's due, it super is.

OH MY GODDESS YOU'RE SO BEAUTIFUL

The little spots of turquoise on your give just the lightest splash of color contrast to the browns and yellows and EEEEEEEEEEEEEE

You are. I am at maximum jealousy right now. Envy levels through the goddamn roof.

I am about 80% sure you're actually a moth, not a butterfly. But I don't fucking care, because you are killing it either way.

With gusto. I--

Oh fuck me

Thanks, uh... Navi?

So the giant bat monster exists in the past but is temporally corrupting her here in the present, even though that one Messenger in the interim already slew it at some point in the interim. I have so many questions about how this works.

Time travel is so fucking trippy.

Oh, this is going to be way easier than I thought it would. I figured Firefly was going to zoom around and I'd have to attack only when the temporal bubble is illuminating your face.

But if we're just going to throw down trailer park-style, that's super easy. @ me, bruh; Let's fucking go.

Ha! Bat monster doesn't have shit. These screeches are trivially easy to dodge. What else have you--

Oh. Well. Uh. Okay. I'm sorry I insulted your--

RED IS DOWN AND UP IS LEFT

It's fine. It's fine. Just. Drugged. I can deal with this. Just have to stay perfectly still and wait for the nausea to pass.

TEAM EFFORT LET'S GOOOOOO

Nobody is ever prepared for the twirly-doos. Twirly-doo is the ultimate technique of the Messenger lineage. I'm a fucking buzzsaw in flight.

Thank you, Shopkeeper, for this wingsuit. It's so-so in mobility but crazy powerful as a weapon.

There's a lot of value in beauty. It gets the short end of the stick because the good parts of beauty are so immediately evident that it makes the bad parts more conversation-worthy. Not a lot of morals out there like, "Beauty is a great thing and you should appreciate it!" because everyone already does by default.

But it is complicated. Beauty is like a work of art. It takes blood, sweat, and tears to manufacture an aesthetic precisely to the (often unreasonable) standards of society - and once it's done, it has to be cared for and maintained lest it begin to degrade over time.

And no one appreciates it. They think it just happens. Like it emerged fully formed into the universe one day. It's easy to fall for a pretty aesthetic painted over a rotten core because we're already so busy taking beauty for granted that nobody ever engages with what it means in the first place.

...

So, I guess what I'm saying is: Sucks about the bat thing. Sorry you had to live with that. But also, I see you. The clean waters and vibrant grasses and towering, living trees are a testament to the volume of work you've put in over these last centuries, and I see you.

Oh, a time bubble firefly of my very own? Thanks! I'm sure she'll come in handy.

Hold up, your Messenger was MONKSHROOM!? HOLY FUCK. I know exactly what curse I want to lift.

What's up, best buddy? I brought you a friend! I think she can help with your, uh, condition.

Oh yeah, Navi is definitely going to sue someone.

You don't remember?

Shit. Well. Um. Short version: You're not expected to deliver the Scroll anywhere anymore. Missed the boat on that one. But I might have some good news for you. How do you feel about the color blue?

Inexplicably, negative some-odd hundred years. Not sure how or why you time traveled again after failing and getting cursed but it's temporal metaphysics. Shit's fucked on a good day.

Yeah, not gonna sugarcoat that one. You fucked this place up so bad that they changed the name. Which, admittedly, isn't hard to do when there's only one bastion of civilization left in the world and it keeps being periodically destroyed. Endlessly repeating incursions of catastrophic destruction make preservation of world knowledge difficult.

It's like having a library that self-immolates every 50 years. At some point, you get used to starting over from scratch.

Wear earplugs.

I'm sure. I'm just happy that she's finally rid of this curse. I've invited her to Game Night twice. Maybe this time, she'll actually come.

Green Building Practices: Incorporating Sustainability in Home Construction

As the world becomes more conscious of environmental issues, incorporating green building practices in home construction has gained significant importance. Sustainable construction not only reduces the negative impact on the environment but also promotes healthier living spaces. In this blog post, we will explore the various ways homeowners and builders can embrace green building practices to create sustainable homes.

Energy Efficiency: Energy-efficient homes minimize energy consumption and reduce carbon footprint. Incorporate energy-efficient appliances, LED lighting, and properly insulated windows and walls. Consider renewable energy sources like solar panels to power your home and reduce reliance on traditional energy grids.

Water Conservation: Implement water-saving techniques by installing low-flow fixtures, dual-flush toilets, and rainwater harvesting systems. Efficient irrigation systems and landscaping choices can also reduce water consumption.

Sustainable Materials: Choose eco-friendly building materials, such as recycled or reclaimed wood, bamboo flooring, and low-VOC (volatile organic compound) paints. Opt for products with recognized certifications like Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) for wood or Cradle to Cradle for sustainable manufacturing practices.

Waste Management: Develop a comprehensive waste management plan to reduce construction waste. Recycle and reuse materials whenever possible, and dispose of waste responsibly. Collaborate with local recycling facilities and donate usable materials to minimize environmental impact.

Passive Design: Implement passive design strategies to maximize natural lighting, ventilation, and thermal comfort. Orienting the house to take advantage of sunlight, incorporating efficient insulation, and using strategic landscaping can significantly reduce energy needs.

Water Efficiency: Install high-efficiency plumbing fixtures, such as low-flow showerheads and faucets, and consider graywater systems for recycling water from sinks and showers for non-potable uses like irrigation.

Indoor Air Quality: Promote a healthy living environment by using low-VOC paints, sealants, and adhesives. Proper ventilation systems with heat recovery can improve air quality and reduce the presence of pollutants.

Green Roofing and Insulation: Consider green roofs, which provide insulation, reduce stormwater runoff, and improve air quality. Optimize insulation to minimize heat loss or gain, reducing the need for excessive heating or cooling.

Smart Home Technology: Integrate smart home systems to optimize energy consumption, such as programmable thermostats, motion sensor lighting, and smart energy monitoring devices.

Incorporating sustainable practices in home construction benefits both homeowners and the environment. By adopting green building practices, we can reduce our carbon footprint, conserve resources, and create healthier and more energy-efficient living spaces.

This is a super super interesting part of World War 2! If anyone wants to learn more, I highly recommend William B. Breuer's books Top Secret Tales of World War II and Deceptions of World War II, which are broken up chronologically into small, short stories of various schemes and tricks. For example, during the Battle of Britain, they built fake airplanes, airfields, and other such stuff so Luftwaffe bombers would hit them instead of actual targets.

Also, if I may toot the Hollywood horn as a Californian: Hollywood, with its set and prop designers, landscape artists, and others, helped to disguise vital infrastructure during World War 2. At the time, California was huge for manufacturing ships and planes. Aircraft companies (mostly famously Douglas and Lockheed) had factories here; California built an estimated 200,000 of the total 300,000 planes the US built in World War 2.

Because California factories were so important to the war effort, a lot of people feared that an Imperial Japanese Navy attack on California infrastructure would be devastating. (Think the Pearl Harbor story: IJN planes hit the battleships and airfields, but didn't touch things like oil tanks or repair facilities, which most historians agree would've been harder to replace and would've set the war effort back more.) It didn't help matters that IJN submarines were spotted off the West Coast. Thus, the US military took inspiration from the Battle of Britain and set to disguising various manufacturing plants.

The goal was to make the plant look like... well, not a plant. They got Hollywood people in because Hollywood artists know how to make stuff look real, and how to do it quickly. Various strategies included painting roofs green to look like grass and creating fake trees with chicken feathers. They also built a sort of tent structure over the plant, and then put on top fake houses, streets, cars, and laundry. They would push around the cars randomly or change the laundry, and people also went up to walk around on sidewalks/catwalks by the tent so it seemed more real. From the air, it basically looked like generic suburbs, not a priority target. (They also did this with other plants along the West Coast, including one in Washington; I just know the most about the California ones.)

To test the disguise, they got a general on a plane and took him on a flight. He couldn't find the factory.

(I got most of this information from Breuer's books, but here are some links to online sources: Lockheed-Martin, Airmail, PBS. There are also some cool photos of people standing next to the fake houses for scale.)

The Ghost Army was a United States Army tactical deception unit during World War II officially known as the 23rd Headquarters Special Troops. The 1,100-man unit was given a unique mission within the U.S Army: to impersonate other U.S. Army units to deceive the enemy. From a few weeks after D-Day, when they landed in France, until the end of the war, they put on a “traveling road show” utilizing inflatable tanks, sound trucks, fake radio transmissions and pretence. They staged more than 20 battlefield deceptions, often operating very close to the front lines.

The unit consisted of the 406th Combat Engineers (which handled security), the 603rd Camouflage Engineers, the 3132 Signal Service Company Special and the Signal Company Special.

Heat Reducing Paint for Roof: The Smart Solution to Lower Cooling Costs

As temperatures rise during the summer months, one of the biggest challenges homeowners and businesses face is keeping their buildings cool without running up high energy bills. Traditional air conditioning systems can be expensive and energy-intensive, but there's a simple, cost-effective solution that can help reduce the strain on your cooling systems: heat reducing paint for roof. In this blog, we will discuss how heat reducing paint for roof works, its benefits, and why it should be a top choice for energy efficiency in any building.

What is Heat Reducing Paint for Roof?

Heat reducing paint for roof is a specially formulated coating designed to reflect heat away from your building, reducing the amount of heat absorbed by the roof. This type of paint is made with advanced reflective pigments and materials that bounce sunlight and infrared radiation off the roof surface, instead of allowing it to penetrate into the building. By reflecting a significant amount of heat, heat reducing paint for roof helps keep the interior cooler, reducing the need for excessive air conditioning and lowering overall energy consumption.

How Does Heat Reducing Paint for Roof Work?

The main function of heat reducing paint for roof is to increase the roof's ability to reflect heat rather than absorb it. Traditional dark-colored roofing materials tend to absorb heat, causing the building to become much hotter. Heat reducing paint for roof addresses this by using special reflective materials that allow sunlight to bounce off the roof, keeping the building cooler.

This paint works by reflecting a high percentage of the sun’s infrared radiation, which is responsible for most of the heat that enters your building. The more heat your roof reflects, the less heat enters the building, making it easier to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature without relying on air conditioning.

Benefits of Heat Reducing Paint for Roof

Lower Energy Costs: One of the primary benefits of heat reducing paint for roof is the reduction in energy costs. By reflecting more heat away from the building, this paint helps lower the amount of energy required to cool the space. You’ll spend less on air conditioning and reduce your electricity bills significantly.

Improved Indoor Comfort: In buildings without heat reducing paint for roof, the internal temperature can rise rapidly during hot weather. This can make your home or office uncomfortable, especially during the summer months. By applying heat-reducing paint, you can enjoy a more consistent and cooler indoor temperature, improving comfort levels throughout the year.

Environmentally Friendly: Using heat reducing paint for roof helps decrease the need for excessive air conditioning, which in turn reduces your carbon footprint. This environmentally friendly solution helps minimize energy consumption and contributes to a greener, more sustainable future.

Extended Roof Lifespan: Excessive heat can cause wear and tear on roofing materials, leading to cracks, fading, and other damage. Heat reducing paint for roof helps protect the roof by reflecting UV rays and minimizing the impact of high temperatures. This helps extend the lifespan of your roof, saving you money on costly repairs and replacements.

UV and Weather Protection: Besides heat reduction, heat reducing paint for roof also provides protection against harmful UV rays, rain, and harsh weather conditions. The paint helps prevent the roof from degrading prematurely due to sun exposure, ensuring it remains in better condition for longer.

Why Choose Heat Reducing Paint for Roof?

Choosing heat reducing paint for roof is an investment that not only saves money but also helps maintain a more comfortable and energy-efficient building. Whether you own a home, a commercial property, or an industrial building, applying heat-reducing paint can significantly improve the quality of your space. The cost savings from reduced cooling needs can pay off quickly, making it an ideal solution for hot climates.

Additionally, this type of paint is easy to apply and available in a variety of colors and finishes, making it suitable for any style of roofing. It’s an affordable and effective way to protect your building, enhance energy efficiency, and contribute to a more sustainable environment.

Conclusion

If you’re looking to reduce your energy bills and improve the comfort of your home or office, heat reducing paint for roof is a smart and effective solution. This innovative paint helps reflect heat, lower indoor temperatures, and protect your roof from the damaging effects of excessive heat and UV radiation. Whether you’re dealing with a hot climate or just want to reduce cooling costs, applying heat reducing paint for roof is a practical investment that can offer long-term benefits. Make the switch today and start enjoying a cooler, more energy-efficient space.

The Benefits of Stone Coated Roofing: A Durable and Stylish Choice for Your Home

When it comes to making decisions about roofing materials, homeowners are often faced with a wide array of options. Among these choices, stone coated roofing has gained significant popularity due to its unique combination of durability, aesthetic appeal, and performance. Whether you're building a new home or looking to upgrade your existing roof, understanding the benefits of stone coated roofing can help you make an informed decision.

What is Stone Coated Roofing?

Stone Coated Roofing consists of metal panels that are coated with crushed stone granules, giving the appearance of traditional roofing materials like slate, tile, or shake. The metal substrate provides strength and longevity, while the stone finish adds a layer of protection against the elements and contributes to the roof's overall visual appeal. This innovative roofing solution offers a variety of styles and colors, allowing homeowners to customize their roofs to match their home's architecture.

Key Advantages of Stone Coated Roofing

1. Exceptional Durability

One of the standout features of stone coated roofing is its remarkable durability. Unlike traditional roofing materials that can suffer from issues such as cracking, warping, or fading, stone coated roofs are largely resistant to these problems. The combination of metal and stone creates a robust system capable of withstanding extreme weather conditions, including heavy rain, hail, snow, and high winds. Many manufacturers offer warranties of 50 years or more, underscoring this roofing material’s longevity.

2. Lightweight Yet Strong

Stone coated roofing is significantly lighter than traditional roofing materials like slate or concrete tiles. This lightweight characteristic reduces the structural load on your home, which can be especially beneficial for older homes or those with weaker structures. Despite being light, these roofs do not compromise on strength; they are designed to handle heavy impact and resist damage, making them an excellent choice for areas prone to severe weather.

3. Energy Efficiency

Energy efficiency is becoming increasingly important for homeowners who are looking to reduce their energy bills and carbon footprint. Stone coated roofing reflects heat away from the home during hot weather and insulates against the cold in winter, helping to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures year-round. This can result in lower heating and cooling costs, benefiting both your wallet and the environment.

4. A Variety of Styles and Colors

Homeowners can choose from a wide range of styles and colors when opting for stone coated roofing. Whether you prefer the classic look of tiles, the rustic charm of wooden shakes, or the sleek appearance of modern architecture, there’s a stone coated option available to fit your aesthetic preferences. This versatility allows homeowners to achieve the desired look for their home while enjoying all the benefits that come with stone coated materials.

5. Low Maintenance Requirements

Another advantage of stone coated roofing is that it requires minimal maintenance. Unlike other roofing materials that may need regular sealing, painting, or treatment, stone coated roofs only need occasional cleaning to remove debris and ensure proper drainage. This low-maintenance requirement allows homeowners to save time and money over the life of the roof.

6. Eco-Friendly Option

For environmentally conscious homeowners, stone coated roofing presents an eco-friendly alternative. Many products are made from recycled materials, and the longevity of the roofing reduces the frequency of replacement. Furthermore, the energy efficiency properties help decrease overall energy consumption, contributing to a greener home.

7. Fire Resistance

Fire safety is an essential consideration for any roofing material. Stone coated roofing offers excellent fire resistance, earning high ratings that make it suitable for settings where wildfire risk is a concern. This feature can provide peace of mind, knowing that your home is better protected against potential fire hazards.

Maximising Efficiency with Energy Saving Coatings: What You Need to Know

Energy saving coatings are a simple yet effective way to improve energy efficiency in both residential and commercial settings. These can help manage temperature, reduce energy consumption, and lower utility bills. This blog provides an overview of what these coatings are, their benefits, and how they can be applied to achieve optimal results.

What Are Energy Saving Coatings

These coatings are specially formulated paints or treatments designed to reduce heat transfer and improve thermal insulation. They work by reflecting or blocking heat from entering or escaping a building or surface. By maintaining a stable indoor temperature, these coatings help reduce the need for heating and cooling, ultimately leading to lower energy consumption.

Benefits of these Coatings

Lower Energy Bills

One of the main benefits of this is their ability to reduce energy bills. By improving insulation and reducing heat transfer, these can decrease the reliance on heating and cooling systems. This can lead to significant savings on your energy bills over time.

Improved Comfort

It contributes to a more comfortable indoor environment. They help maintain a consistent temperature, reducing hot and cold spots within a building. This can make living or working spaces more pleasant, regardless of the season.

Environmental Impact

Using these can also have a positive impact on the environment. By reducing energy consumption, this will help lower greenhouse gas emissions associated with heating and cooling. This makes them a more sustainable choice for managing energy use.

Applications of these Coatings

These are versatile and can be applied in various settings:

Residential Buildings

Applying these coatings to walls, roofs, and windows can help keep homes cooler in summer and warmer in winter. This not only improves energy efficiency but also enhances overall comfort.

Commercial Properties

For offices, retail spaces, and other commercial buildings, these can help manage energy costs and create a more comfortable working environment. This can lead to increased productivity and lower operational costs.

Industrial Facilities

In industrial settings, these can be used on machinery, equipment, and building surfaces to reduce heat loss or gain. This can improve process efficiency and reduce energy costs in manufacturing and other industrial operations.

Choosing the Right Coating

When selecting a coating, consider the following factors:

Surface Compatibility

Ensure the coating you choose is compatible with the surface it will be applied to. Some coatings are designed for specific materials, such as metal or concrete, and may not adhere properly to other surfaces.

Application Method

Consider the application method for the coating. Some of it can be applied like regular paint, while others may require special techniques or equipment. Choose a product that fits your application needs and expertise.

Conclusion

Energy saving coatings offer a practical and cost-effective solution for reducing energy consumption and improving comfort. By understanding their benefits and applications, you can make an informed decision about whether these are right for your needs. Whether for residential, commercial, or industrial use, they provide a valuable tool for managing energy costs and creating a more comfortable environment.

Enhance Your Building with Durable Soffit PVC Panels

When it comes to enhancing both the appearance and functionality of your building, Soffit PVC Panels stand out as an excellent choice. These versatile panels are increasingly popular in residential, commercial, and industrial applications due to their durability, low maintenance, and resistance to moisture and weather conditions. Whether you're seeking a Soffit PVC Panels Manufacturer in Ahmedabad, a Soffit PVC Panels Supplier in Delhi, or a nationwide Soffit PVC Panels Manufacturer in India, you can find reliable solutions to meet your construction needs.

The Advantages of Soffit PVC Panels

Soffit PVC Panels are specifically designed to be used in the soffit area, which is the material that covers the underside of the roof overhang. However, these panels are much more than just functional; they offer a wide range of aesthetic and practical benefits that make them the preferred choice for many construction projects.

Durability and Strength: Soffit PVC Panels are highly durable and can withstand various environmental conditions, including extreme temperatures, heavy rainfall, and high humidity. Their resistance to corrosion and rotting makes them ideal for long-term usage.

Low Maintenance: Unlike wood or metal soffits, PVC panels require minimal upkeep. They do not need to be painted or treated regularly, saving time and money over the lifespan of the product. Cleaning these panels is simple, usually requiring only a quick wash with water.

Weather Resistance: Soffit PVC Panels are designed to handle extreme weather conditions, making them suitable for areas that experience heavy rain, snow, or harsh sunlight. This makes them perfect for locations like Ahmedabad, where temperatures can soar, or Delhi, where seasonal weather changes are common.

Aesthetic Appeal: Available in a variety of colors, textures, and finishes, Soffit PVC Panels can significantly enhance the visual appeal of your building. They can be chosen to match or contrast with other building materials, adding an element of customization to the structure.

Energy Efficiency: Soffit PVC Panels play a role in improving energy efficiency. By providing proper ventilation to the roof and attic space, they help maintain the internal temperature of the building, reducing the need for excessive heating or cooling.

Finding the Right Soffit PVC Panels Manufacturer and Supplier

With the increasing demand for Soffit PVC Panels in construction projects across India, many manufacturers and suppliers have emerged to meet the growing needs of builders, contractors, and architects. If you are located in Ahmedabad and looking for a trusted Soffit PVC Panels Manufacturer, you'll find a wide selection of companies that offer high-quality panels designed to withstand the local climate.

For those in the northern regions, particularly in Delhi, sourcing the right Soffit PVC Panels Supplier is equally important. Suppliers in Delhi offer a diverse range of panel options that cater to different types of projects, whether you are working on a residential home or a large commercial facility.

Moreover, if you are looking for a Soffit PVC Panels Manufacturer in India that can deliver panels nationwide, you’ll find several leading companies that are known for their innovative production methods and adherence to quality standards. These manufacturers focus on creating environmentally friendly products that meet the needs of modern construction while also ensuring durability and longevity.

Choosing the Right Soffit PVC Panels for Your Project

Selecting the right Soffit PVC Panels is crucial to the success of your building project. Here are a few factors to consider:

Material Quality: Ensure that the manufacturer or supplier uses high-quality PVC that can withstand environmental stresses and last for years without significant wear and tear.

Design and Finish: The aesthetic of your soffit panels should complement the overall design of the building. Choose from a variety of textures, patterns, and colors to achieve the look you want.

Ventilation Options: Proper ventilation is essential for maintaining the roof’s structural integrity and controlling the internal temperature of the building. Many Soffit PVC Panels come with built-in ventilation options, which help to enhance airflow and prevent moisture buildup.

Budget: While Soffit PVC Panels are generally cost-effective compared to other materials, prices can vary depending on the design, manufacturer, and supplier. It's essential to compare options and select panels that offer the best value for your project.

Installation Process: Ensure that your panels are easy to install and that your supplier offers support for installation if required. Panels that are quick and straightforward to install can save on labor costs and project timelines.

Conclusion

Soffit PVC Panels offer a range of benefits that make them the ideal choice for construction projects across India. Whether you are looking for a Soffit PVC Panels Manufacturer in Ahmedabad, a Soffit PVC Panels Supplier in Delhi, or a Soffit PVC Panels Manufacturer in India to deliver to multiple locations, you have access to top-quality products and services.
