MOOI JOU HUIS MET KLIPBEKLEINING-klipbekleding

Stone cladding is durable, attractive, and low maintenance. Here’s what you need to know about this stone alternative.

WAT IS Klipbekleding?

Stone cladding is also known as stacked stone or stone veneer. It can be made from actual stone or artificial, so-called engineered stone. It’s available in a wide variety of finishes that look like slate, brick, and many other stones. It’s a fast and affordable way to get the look of stone on a wall without the cost or time of a masonry installation.

VOORDELE VAN KLIPBEKLEINING

Klipbekleding het baie voordele bo ander boumateriaal en, in sommige gevalle, bo messelsteenkonstruksie.

• Lightness: Stone cladding is easier to carry and install than natural stone, and it places less pressure on the existing structure. It generally weighs considerably less than natural stone.

• Insulation: Stone cladding is weather-resistant and protective. It helps a building stay warm in winter and cool in summer. Reinforcing the cladding with a steel or aluminum framework, called a honeycomb, makes it able to resist earthquakes and high winds.

• Minimal maintenance: Like stone, stone cladding requires little upkeep to look good for many years.

• Ease of installation: Lightweight cladding is easier to install than stone. It doesn’t require the same heavy equipment that a masonry installation does. This doesn’t mean you can install it yourself, however. Hanging stone cladding requires experience and skill.

• Esthetics: Stone gives any building an elegant look. Cladding can look like quartz, granite, marble, or any natural stone. It also comes in a wide choice of colors. Because you can install it anywhere, stone cladding gives you endless ways to design with stone.

HOE WORD KLIPBEKLEINING AANGESIEN?

Ondergesnyde ankers

Dit is die gewone metode vir groot installasies. In 'n ondersnyde ankerstelsel boor die installeerders gate in die agterkant van die klip, steek 'n bout in en maak die bekleding horisontaal vas. Dit is 'n goeie metode vir soffits en dikker panele.

Kerf metode

In hierdie metode sny installeerders groewe aan die bo- en onderkant van die klip. Die klip sit op 'n sluiting aan die onderkant van die bekledingspaneel met 'n tweede sluiting aan die bokant. Dit is 'n vinnige, maklike installasiemetode wat uitstekend is vir kleiner installasies en dunner panele.

Beide installasiemetodes gebruik 'n oop-gewrigontwerp. Om die voorkoms van regte klip na te boots, wys installeerders die spasies tussen die lasse met messelbry.

IS DAAR NADELE AAN STEENBEKLEDING?

Alhoewel klipbekleding in baie gevalle uitstekend is, is dit nie ideaal vir elke installasie nie. Dit het ook 'n paar nadele wat klip nie doen nie.

• It’s not as durable as a masonry installation.
• Some veneers allow moisture to seep into the joints.
• It can crack under repeated freeze-and-thaw cycles.,
• Unlike natural stone, it is not a sustainable building material.
