المملكة: Exciting secrets.. How does the Mataf dish remain cold despite the scorching heat of the sun?

This is the result of an engineering system that combines choosing a quality marble with physical properties that reflect heat, and a structural design that reduces its transmission and accelerates its dissipation. This provides a comfortable and safe environment for worshipers.

Marble of the Mataf courtyard in the Grand Mosque

High-quality natural marble is used extracted from cold mountainous areas, characterized by a low heat absorption coefficient and its ability to reflect sunlight instead of storing it.

Its light color also contributes to reducing thermal radiation compared to dark materials; Which helps its surface to remain at a moderate temperature even at peak times.

The thickness of the panels and the methods of installing them over insulating layers and the presence of spaces that allow air to pass through enhance the efficiency of insulation and cooling.

Serving the Guests of God

While the wide area of the courtyard, the movement of worshipers, and the continuous air flow contribute to reducing the thermal sensation.

These solutions embody the integration between engineering and natural materials to serve the Guests of God and raise comfort levels inside. The Grand Mosque.
