LLINELL AMSER:
To calculate the number of universal corners to order, measure the height in inches of each outside wall corner, as shown, divide by 16, and round up to the nearest whole number. You’ll fill the area between the corners with flat panels. To calculate how many you’ll need, multiply the wall’s width by its height in feet and divide the resulting area by 2 (each panel covers 2 square feet). Subtract the number of universal corners from the result, then add 10 percent to your order of flat panels. Add one universal corner to be safe.
The panels must be installed above ground level, resting on a plastic support called a starter strip, so you’ll want to paint the wall below the strip to match the stone. Find a spray-paint color similar to the palette of your stone panels and paint the bottom few inches of the wall.
Set the location for the starter strip, at least 2 inches above any soil. Here, the strip’s lip aligns with the top of a stair on the adjacent side of the corner. Fit your drill/driver with a 3/16-inch masonry bit and drill a pilot hole through a slot in the strip near the corner and into the wall. Drive in a masonry screw to secure that end, then use the 4-foot level to bring the strip to level, and mark a line, as shown. Drill pilot holes and fasten the strip in two or three more spots, maintaining level.
Mae gan baneli gwastad dab ar bob ochr sy'n cyd-fynd â slotiau ar baneli gwastad cyfagos ond mae angen eu tynnu o unrhyw ben sy'n ffurfio cornel. Gorffwyswch wyneb y panel ar arwyneb gwaith a defnyddiwch lafn yr offeryn 5-mewn-1 i guro'r tab i ffwrdd, fel y dangosir. Bydd yr ymyl fflat canlyniadol yn creu cornel dynn.
Mae pob rhediad yn dechrau ar gornel, gyda phen gorffenedig cornel gyffredinol yn gorgyffwrdd â diwedd panel gwastad (gyda'r tab wedi'i dynnu). Yn gyntaf, mae'r gornel gyffredinol yn cael ei dorri'n ddau ddarn; mae ymyl gorffenedig pob darn yn dechrau cwrs, ac mae'r ymyl wedi'i dorri'n troi'n banel gwastad. Ar gyfer estheteg, torrwch y gornel gyffredinol fel bod pob darn o leiaf 8 modfedd o hyd. Neu, fel yn ein hachos ni, torrwch ef i ffitio yn erbyn y codwr grisiau: Gorffwyswch banel gwastad ar yr ochr gyfagos yn y stribed cychwynnol, yna trowch y gornel gyffredinol wyneb i waered, casgiwch ei ymyl gorffenedig yn erbyn codwr y grisiau, a ysgrifennwch dorlin , fel y dangosir.
Gorffwyswch y panel sydd wedi'i farcio â'i wyneb i waered ar arwyneb gwaith gyda byrddau sgrap oddi tano bob ochr i'r toriad. Defnyddiwch ymyl syth i farcio toriad sgwarog ar hyd pwynt culaf y llinell sgraffiniol. Gosodwch y llif crwn gyda llafn diemwnt segmentiedig a'i dorri ar hyd y llinell, gan fynd trwy'r concrit yn ogystal â'r stribed hoelio metel. Gwnewch yn siŵr eich bod chi'n gwisgo sbectol diogelwch, mwgwd llwch, ac offer amddiffyn y clyw.
Hold the cut universal corner against the wall, bringing its finished end flush with the face of the adjacent flat panel so that the two pieces form a 90° outside corner. Level the universal corner, and drill pilot holes through the nailing strip, as shown, directly through the metal if necessary, in at least two places. Fasten the panel with 1¼-inch self-tapping masonry screws.
Awgrym: Cadwch eich rhan yn troelli i gael gwared â llwch wrth i chi dynnu'r dril allan o'r twll peilot, gan ganiatáu i'r sgriw gwaith maen fanteisio ar y concrit.
Parhewch i osod paneli fflat maint llawn, gan weithio'ch ffordd i lawr y cwrs. Pan fyddwch yn agosáu at y diwedd, mesurwch a thorrwch banel rhannol i lenwi diwedd y cwrs. Os oes gan y darn wedi'i dorri dab ar y naill ochr neu'r llall, defnyddiwch yr offeryn 5-mewn-1 i'w fwrw i ffwrdd. Gosodwch y darn yn ei le, drilio tyllau peilot, a'i sgriwio i'r wal.
Use the cut half of the universal corner from the first course, positioned on the opposite side of the corner to stagger the joints. Slip the tongue on its bottom edge into the groove on top of the flat panel beneath. Position a flat panel, with its tab removed, atop the universal corner in the first course. Be sure it’s cut to a different length than the piece beneath, to offset the joints across the wall. Mark and drill pilot holes for the universal corner, secure it, and install the adjacent flat panel to complete the corner.
Work along the course, brushing out debris from the top groove to ensure that the panels fit together snugly. As you set each new panel, make sure that it’s aligned with the previous panel by nestling a ¼-inch metal rod in the groove along the top edge. The rod should lie flat and bridge the grooves in adjacent panels. If it doesn’t, use the 5-in-1 tool to shim the panel up, or back several screws out of the previous panel and adjust it. When the panels align, drill pilot holes and fasten them to the wall.
If the end of a panel falls in line with a joint on any of the previous courses, you’ll want to cut down its length slightly to maintain staggered joints. Hold the panel in place and mark the nailing strip at a different length. Transfer the mark to the back of the panel, cut it to size, and fasten it to the wall.
On the final course, you’ll need to cut down the height of the panels to fit, removing the nailing strip so that the stone reaches to the top of the wall. Rest a flat panel in place and scribe a cutline on the back at the height of the wall. Set the panel on a work surface, and use the circular saw to cut it to the proper height. You may want to cut your corner pieces to length first, then cut them to the proper height, as shown. Dry-fit the two pieces at the corner to check the fit.
Tynnwch y paneli cornel a rhowch gleiniau syth o glud adeiladu ar gefn pob darn mewn rhediadau fertigol, fel y dangosir, fel bod dŵr yn rhydd i lifo y tu ôl i'r paneli a draenio'n iawn. Gosodwch y paneli yn eu lle ar y wal a'u haddasu i ffitio'n glyd yn y gornel.
Er mwyn diogelu'r paneli torri i lawr ymhellach, lleolwch sawl man ar bob un lle gallwch chi suddo clymwr yn anamlwg mewn uniadau rhwng cerrig. Gan ddal y darn yn ei le, drilio twll peilot trwy'r panel ac i mewn i'r wal. Gyrrwch sgriw gwaith maen i mewn, gan suddo'r pen o dan wyneb y panel. Gorchuddiwch y pennau sgriw gyda caulk, casglwch ychydig o lwch o'r bwrdd torri, a chwythwch ef ar y caulk sychu i'w guddliwio. Gallwch chi gyffwrdd ag unrhyw fylchau yn yr un modd. Gorffen gosod y paneli yn y cwrs olaf.
Dewiswch garreg gap sawl modfedd yn lletach na dyfnder eich wal wedi'i gorchuddio i greu bargod. Mesurwch a marciwch y capfeini i ffitio ar hyd top y wal. Defnyddiwch y llif crwn a'r llafn diemwnt segmentiedig i dorri hyd, fel y dangosir.
Gan weithio gyda phartner, codwch y capfeini a'u gosod yn sych ar ben y wal. Tynnwch nhw a rhowch glud adeiladu ar ben y wal ac ymylon yr argaen cyn ailosod y cerrig; neu, os yw'n well gennych edrychiad hyd yn oed yn fwy dilys, gosodwch nhw mewn gwely morter anystwyth. Nawr cymerwch gam yn ôl a rhyfeddwch at yr edrychiad di-dor.
