U ovom članku ćemo pogledati neka ključna područja za stvaranje vašeg savršenog zida i elemente koji se spajaju kako bi vam dali završne obrade koje vidite danas na nekim od najsjajnijih domova širom zemlje.
We’ll take a look at what natural stone cladding is, what types are available to you, which would work best for you and ultimately a guideline on how to install your cladding.
“Cladding” is made to dress your wall with stone without the costs of building walls with blocks and labour costs associated with them. You can easily clad your wall with your preferred material and blend it in to suit your environment in a more efficient and cost-effective way.
Kamena obloga je tanak sloj kamena koji se nanosi na zgradu ili drugu strukturu napravljenu od materijala koji nije kamen. Kamena obloga se lijepi na betonski zid, cigle i zgrade kao dio njihovog originalnog arhitektonskog rješenja. Poleđina svakog komada kamena je izrezana na ravnu završnu obradu, što omogućava pričvršćivanje kamena na odgovarajuće podloge.
Sa lokacijama raštrkanim po cijelom svijetu, većina zemalja ima neki oblik prirodnog kamena koji se nalazi ispod njih.
Natural stone “cladding” is thin slices of quarried natural stones. They are taken out of the land and accordingly sliced into blocks and boulders – from these blocks/boulders, the products you see today are manufactured and made.
Uz mnogo različitih vrsta prirodnog kamena, u rasponu od granita do kvarcita, od travertina do mramora, postoje različite vrste obloga koje odgovaraju svima i svima.
Free form – These are small, medium and large pieces of loose natural stone with sawn flat back pieces that come together to create an organic wall that appears like it has been built for centuries. The definition of “free-form” is individual pieces.
S poleđinom koja je ravno piljena radi lakše ugradnje, naše pojedinačne zidne obloge se lijepe na postojeći zid, stvarajući prirodan i bezvremenski organski izgled.
Postavljanje od strane vještog klesara, jednako važno za kvalitet upotrijebljenog kamena kao i za oblik i završnu obradu kamena, je kvaliteta izrade vašeg instalatera.
Freeform organic stonework is an art form, and the artist is critical in completing the ‘picture’ that becomes your wall.
To nije obrazac koji oni moraju slijediti, postoje specifični načini na koje trebate postaviti svaku vrstu organske obloge da biste dobili pravi izgled. Ono što ovdje pokušavamo postići je izgled da je vaša struktura ručno izgrađena od stvarnih blokova prije nekoliko stoljeća.
Ako postavite oblogu kao da je apstraktna slika ili neka vrsta šare, pretvarate zid u više kameni zid s uzorkom (što je u redu ako tražite taj izgled) radije nego da se postigne izgled konstruktivno izgrađenog zida koji zida/slaže klesarski blok po blok. Na taj način svaki komad odgovara svom zrnu, obliku i boji.
For example, If your stonemason were going to build a wall say 10m long and 5 meters high from blocks, the wall should be structurally stable, it needs to be stacked one on top of another so it doesn’t ever fall or collapse.
Prilikom oblaganja prirodnog kamena slobodnog oblika na postojeći zid i dalje mora izgledati kao da su izgrađeni od stvarnih blokova, i dalje moraju izgledati stabilno. Iako je zapravo podloga na poleđini ta koja mora biti stabilna!
Ako ne vidite razliku kada gledate zid od blokova i zid obložen, onda ste postigli željeni bezvremenski zid koji će sumnjati u bilo koga da nagađa da li je zid obložen ili blok rad.
Armstone offers corners pieces of all the stone claddings which are available in pre-cut 90-degree pieces to give you that full stone, block look. The benefit here is that you don’t have to get your stonemason to mitre the corners, its best to avoid seeing any cut joints anywhere on the wall.
To achieve the true organic look your installer shouldn’t have any sawn cuts on your stonework. They should make cuts from the back of the stone and split each individual piece of the stone to prevent having a sawn cut on the face or side of the piece.
Ako imate piljene rubove, možete odrezati rub svakog komada kako biste kamenu dobili prirodniji rub. Tu bi se stručnost vašeg klesara zaista trebala pokazati.
Kada se pravilno uradi, organski zid slobodnog oblika može stvoriti zadivljujuću bezvremensku karakteristiku u vašem zatvorenom ili otvorenom prostoru. Međutim, kao i sa bilo čim u životu, ako se uglovi iseku, praktično nema smisla prolaziti kroz proces. Jednom bi bilo bolje s drugim, praktičnijim opcijama.
In the Free Form individual stone cladding range, you can either do “Dry Stack” aka “Dry Stone Cladding” which means that the stone cladding is Not Grouted (no any cement filled into the gaps) or Grouted.
Some stones look good in “dry stack” and some “grouted”. Zaista je sve o vašim ličnim preferencijama.
Some Natural Stone Claddings looks really organic when you lay them in “Crazy” pattern. This is where the pieces don’t have any even sizes or shapes.
If you are planning to do a dry stack you must plan ahead to have the grout joints tight or you if you’d like to grout you should use packers to get consistent grout joints for each individual piece of stone.
Ako niste sigurni koji će odgovarati vašem domu ili projektu, pozovite nas i razgovarajte s nama, sigurni smo da ćemo vam prilagoditi savršeno rješenje.
Besides the “Crazy” format stone cladding nowadays more architects and landscape designers are specifying the “Random Ashlar” pattern which is suited for more modern designs.
“Random Ashlar” is a random Geometric pattern – Random ashlar, dijelovi se sastoje od nasumičnih kvadrata i pravokutnika.
KAMENI PLOČI I SLOŽENI KAMENI.
Z-panels – “Z-panels” have a ‘Z’ shape which allows each stone panel to interlock with the next. These pre-made dry stack panels are the most cost-effective way to transform your wall to a dry stack look.
With a concrete backing Armstone’ Z shape panels which are also known as “Stone Panels” or “Ledgestones” as well as “Cultured stones” have chicken wire holding each individual piece of stone together on a concrete backing system for a functional and feasible install makes for a great product. We’ve seen many homes use this type of wall cladding and the results have been very pleasing.
Z paneli se uzimaju u obzir između kada je u pitanju instalacija i lakše se instaliraju u poređenju sa oblogama slobodnog oblika. Dostupne u veličinama koje su jednostavne za rad, možete ih brzo zalijepiti na odgovarajuću podlogu. Mi lično nosimo odgovarajuće uglove i odgovarajuće poklopce kako bismo pružili savršenu završnu obradu za vaš dom.
With a number of options available such as Micha Quartz, Toad Limestone and Natural colours as Rustic Granite – there is something to suit any home.
Stacked Stones – Stacked stones are a more linear approach to wall cladding. With ready to use stone veneers holding together small individual bits of stone which are stacked to together with glue, it’s very simple to clad any suitable structure.
Each stone is stacked and glued onto the panel which helps gives your wall or structure a natural 3D appearance. If you’re looking for an easy way to add appeal to your internal and external walls or structures, this option is for you.
Made from premium natural stone and a combination of durability and strength the range of options in this format are endless. It’s important to choose the right one that brings out the best in your home.
Složene kamene ploče dostupne su u prikladnoj veličini od 600x150 mm i male su težine. Lako se mogu zalijepiti na vaš zid, slično pločicama.
Koja obloga je prava za vas?
S toliko opcija koje su vam dostupne na vrhu vaših prstiju, postoje faktori koje treba razmotriti i uzeti u obzir prije nego što zaključate svoj materijal.
It’s wise to consider where the wall cladding will be going?
Prava obloga trebala bi upotpuniti vaš prostor, okruženje i budžet.
There are a few things to consider when it comes to the visual appeal of your wall and there is one key element that really makes or breaks this and it falls under, installation. Let’s take a look below at what the most important factors are.
Odaberite pravi instalater:
It’s important to engage the right team, one with the commitment and experience to help bring to life your dream wall.
When shortlisting the right people for the job, always be sure to ask for photos of previous similar projects completed as well as any references they may have.
Odabir pravog instalatera može napraviti svijet razlike i jednako je važan kao i kvalitet vašeg kamena.
Vaš supstrat:
Provjerite je li vaša podloga čvrsta i vaša površina spremna za nanošenje. Za prirodni kamen, možete izgraditi podlogu od cigle, betona ili blokova, a ovisno o visini i veličini, možda ćete trebati i da vaš zid potpiše inženjer.
Uvjerite se da je prljavština ili krhotina uklonjena sa zida prije lijepljenja vaše kamene obloge, to će omogućiti maksimalno prianjanje.
Vaša narudžba:
It’s important to consider things like wastage and breakage when ordering, depending on the type of stone cladding you may find some pieces are too small and you will need to sort through your extras to make the wall the size and shape you desire, it’s also possible that during installation or transportation that some pieces may break. We normally advise between 10%-15% wastage, depending on the product.
Detalji:
The dollars in the details, therefore its best to have full piece corner pieces to really enhance the overall organic feeling off your wall – you’ll find this a much cleaner finish as you will not have any visual interference brought to you from mitred corners.
Kada je vaš zid obložen, možete ga završiti nekim odgovarajućim poklopcima, što stvara čist, oštar izgled i zaista pretvara vaš zid u posebnu karakteristiku.
Ako slučajno imate samo kratak potporni zid ili kutiju za sadnju, također izgleda sjajno koristiti pune kutne dijelove za zatvaranje.
It’s key to be patient when using any free form or ashlar type natural stone product.
Try setting out the pieces on the ground and begin putting together the pieces the way you’d like to see them when they are up on your wall.
Imajte na umu da ćete komade prilagođavati veličini i miješati te spajati komade kako biste stvorili vlastitu prirodnu varijaciju, to je zaista kao umjetnost i dobar umjetnik je uvijek pripremao svoje alate.
Koje ljepilo koristiti za oblaganje kamenom?
When adhering the stone pieces onto the substrate be sure to use a quality adhesive, Armstone recommends the products from Mapei and we’ve found the moisture sensitive glue from Mapei Granirapid Kit to be the best solution thus far.
The reasons why are quite important, Mapei Granirapid kit is a moisture sensitive adhesive which helps resists against moisture. Moisture is the number one culprit for de-bonding glue. Which to put simply means if you don’t use this type of glue there is a chance your wall will fall apart over time.
Štaviše, Granirapid je brzovezujući ljepilo koje će vam omogućiti da brzo zalijepite dijelove vašeg zida i da se krećete kroz aplikaciju mnogo brže jer nećete morati trošiti vrijeme na dodavanje potpore komadima kamena kojima je potrebno vrijeme da prianjaju s običnim ljepilima.
“Granirapid is a High performance, deformable, fast setting and hydration two-component cementitious adhesive for ceramic tiles and stone material.
Particularly suitable for the installation of stone material that is moderately unstable to moisture and requires a rapid drying of the adhesive. Suitable for bonding floors subject to heavy traffic.”
You're installer will need to make sure each stone piece is clean and ready to take on the glue, swiftly paste the glue onto the back of each individual piece of stone and also on the substrate. All surfaces should be clean, dry and free of existing sealers or coatings. Dust off, wipe or brush all surfaces to be sealed to remove all loose particles that could adversely affect sealer penetration and performance.
Upotrijebite pakere kako biste održali dosljedne praznine između svakog komada kamena. Možete koristiti plastične pakere ili pakere napravljene od drvenih komada.
Ostavite područje netaknuto još 24 sata nakon što završite sa ugradnjom svakog dijela.
