ULJEPŠAJTE SVOJ DOM KAMENIM OBLOGOM-kamenom oblogom

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

ŠTA JE KAMENA OBLOGA?

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.

PREDNOSTI KAMENE OBLOGE

Obloga od kamena ima mnoge prednosti u odnosu na druge građevinske materijale i, u nekim slučajevima, u odnosu na zidanu kamenu konstrukciju.

• 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.

KAKO SE NANOSI OBLOGA KAMENA?

Podrezana sidra

Ovo je uobičajena metoda za velike instalacije. U sistemu sidrenja sa podrezima, instalateri buše rupe u poleđini kamena, ubacuju vijak i fiksiraju oblogu horizontalno. Ovo je dobra metoda za sofite i deblje ploče.

Metoda rezanja

U ovoj metodi, instalateri izrezuju žljebove na vrhu i dnu kamena. Kamena mjesta na kopči na dnu ploče za oblaganje s drugom kopčom na vrhu. Ovo je brza, jednostavna metoda ugradnje koja je odlična za manje instalacije i tanje ploče.

Obje metode ugradnje koriste dizajn otvorenih spojeva. Kako bi oponašali izgled pravog kamena, instalateri postavljaju prostore između fuga fugom za zidanje.
