Yn yr erthygl hon, byddwn yn edrych ar rai meysydd allweddol o greu eich wal berffaith a'r elfennau sy'n dod at ei gilydd i roi'r gorffeniadau a welwch heddiw ar rai o'r cartrefi mwyaf syfrdanol ledled y wlad.
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.
Mae Cladin Cerrig yn haen denau o garreg a roddir ar adeilad neu strwythur arall sydd wedi'i wneud o ddeunydd heblaw carreg. Mae cladin cerrig yn glynu wrth wal goncrit, gwaith brics ac adeiladau fel rhan o'u cynllun pensaernïol gwreiddiol. Mae cefn pob darn o garreg wedi'i lifio i orffeniad gwastad, sy'n caniatáu i gerrig gael eu gosod ar swbstradau priodol.
Gyda lleoliadau wedi'u gwasgaru ledled y byd, mae gan y rhan fwyaf o wledydd ryw fath o garreg naturiol sydd i'w chael oddi tanynt.
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.
Gyda llawer o wahanol fathau o gerrig naturiol, yn amrywio o wenithfaen i gwartsit o trafertin i farmor, mae yna fathau o gladin sy'n addas i bawb.
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.
Gyda chefn sydd wedi'i lifio'n fflat i'w osod yn hawdd, mae ein cerrig cladin wal unigol yn cael eu gludo ar wal bresennol, gan greu golwg organig naturiol a bythol.
Wedi'i osod gan saer maen medrus, yr un mor bwysig i ansawdd y garreg a ddefnyddir yn ogystal â siâp a gorffeniad y garreg, yw ansawdd crefftwaith eich gosodwr.
Freeform organic stonework is an art form, and the artist is critical in completing the ‘picture’ that becomes your wall.
Nid yw'n batrwm y mae'n rhaid iddynt ei ddilyn, mae yna ffyrdd penodol y mae angen i chi osod pob math o gladin organig i gael yr edrychiad cywir. Yr hyn yr ydym yn ceisio ei gyflawni yma yw'r ymddangosiad bod eich strwythur wedi'i adeiladu â llaw o flociau gwirioneddol, ganrifoedd yn ôl.
Os ydych chi'n gosod y cladin fel pe bai'n baentiad haniaethol neu'n rhyw fath o batrwm rydych chi'n troi'r wal yn fwy o wal gerrig patrymog. (sy'n iawn os ydych chi ar ôl yr edrychiad hwnnw) yn hytrach na chael golwg wal adeileddol sydd wedi'i hadeiladu/pentyrru gan saer maen fesul bloc. Fel hyn mae pob darn yn gweddu i'w grawn, siâp a lliw.
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.
Wrth gladio carreg naturiol ffurf rydd ar wal sy'n bodoli eisoes, mae angen iddo edrych fel petaent wedi'u hadeiladu o flociau gwirioneddol, mae angen iddynt ymddangos yn sefydlog o hyd. Er mai'r swbstrad ar y cefn mewn gwirionedd sydd angen bod yn sefydlog!
Os na welwch y gwahaniaeth wrth edrych ar wal flociau a wal â chladin, yna rydych wedi cyflawni'r wal fythol chwenychedig a fydd yn amau unrhyw un sy'n dyfalu a yw'r wal wedi'i chladin neu'n waith bloc.
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.
Os oes gennych yr ymylon wedi'u llifio, gallwch chi dorri ymyl pob darn i roi ymyl mwy naturiol i'r garreg. Dyma lle dylai arbenigedd eich saer maen ddangos mewn gwirionedd.
O'i wneud yn iawn, gall wal organig ffurf rydd greu nodwedd syfrdanol bythol i'ch tu mewn neu'r tu allan. Fodd bynnag, yn yr un modd ag unrhyw beth mewn bywyd, os caiff corneli eu torri, nid oes diben mynd drwy'r broses i bob pwrpas. Byddai un yn well ei fyd gydag opsiynau eraill, mwy ymarferol.
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”. Mae'n ymwneud â'ch dewis personol mewn gwirionedd.
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.
Os nad ydych yn siŵr pa un fydd yn gweddu i’ch cartref neu brosiect, rhowch alwad i ni a siaradwch â ni, rydym yn siŵr ein bod yn teilwra’r ateb perffaith i chi.
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 – nadd ar hap, mae darnau yn cynnwys sgwariau ar hap a phetryalau.
PANELAU CERRIG A CHERRIG WEDI'U DYNNU.
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.
Ystyrir paneli Z yn y canol o ran gosod ac maent yn haws eu gosod o'u cymharu â chladin ffurf rydd. Ar gael mewn meintiau hawdd i'w gweithio gyda nhw, gallwch chi gludo'r rhain yn gyflym ar eich swbstrad addas. Rydym yn bersonol yn cario darnau cornel cyfatebol a chapio cyfatebol i ddarparu gorffeniad perffaith i'ch cartref.
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.
Mae Paneli Cerrig wedi'u Pentyrru ar gael mewn maint cyfleus o 600x150mm ac maent yn ysgafn. Gellir eu glynu'n hawdd ar eich wal, yn debyg i deils.
Pa Gladin Sydd Yn Gywir i Chi?
Gyda chymaint o opsiynau ar gael i chi ar flaenau eich bysedd, mae yna ffactorau i'w hystyried a'u hystyried cyn cloi eich deunydd i mewn.
It’s wise to consider where the wall cladding will be going?
Dylai'r cladin cywir ategu eich gofod, amgylchoedd a chyllideb.
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.
Dewiswch y gosodwr cywir:
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.
Gall dewis y gosodwr cywir wneud byd o wahaniaeth ac Mae yr un mor bwysig ag ansawdd eich carreg.
Eich swbstrad:
Gwnewch yn siŵr bod eich sylfaen yn gadarn a bod eich wyneb yn barod i'w ddefnyddio. Ar gyfer carreg naturiol, gallwch adeiladu'r swbstrad allan o frics, concrit neu waith bloc ac yn dibynnu ar yr uchder a'r maint efallai y bydd angen i chi hefyd gael eich wal wedi'i chymeradwyo gan beiriannydd.
Gwnewch yn siŵr bod unrhyw faw neu falurion yn cael ei dynnu oddi ar y wal cyn glynu'ch cladin carreg, bydd hyn yn caniatáu ar gyfer adlyniad mwyaf posibl.
Eich archeb:
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.
Y manylion:
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.
Unwaith y bydd eich wal wedi'i gorchuddio, gallwch ei gorffen â chapio cyfatebol, mae hyn yn creu golwg lân, grimp ac yn troi'ch wal yn nodwedd amlwg.
Os mai dim ond wal gynnal fer neu flwch plannwr sydd gennych, mae hefyd yn edrych yn wych defnyddio'r darnau cornel llawn ar gyfer y capio.
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.
Cofiwch y byddwch chi'n addasu darnau i faint ac yn cymysgu ac yn cydweddu'r darnau i greu eich amrywiad naturiol eich hun, mae fel celf mewn gwirionedd ac roedd artist da bob amser yn paratoi ei offer.
Pa gludiog i'w ddefnyddio ar gyfer cladin cerrig?
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.
Ar ben hynny, mae Granirapid yn glud gosodiad cyflym a fydd yn caniatáu ichi lynu'r darnau o'ch wal yn gyflym a symud trwy'ch cais yn llawer cyflymach gan na fydd angen i chi dreulio amser yn ychwanegu cefnogaeth i ddarnau o garreg sydd angen amser i gadw at gludyddion rheolaidd.
“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.
Defnyddiwch becwyr i gadw bylchau'n gyson rhwng pob darn carreg. Gallwch ddefnyddio pacwyr plastig neu becwyr wedi'u gwneud o ddarnau pren.
Gwnewch yn siŵr eich bod yn gadael yr ardal heb ei chyffwrdd am 24 awr arall ar ôl i chi orffen gosod pob darn.
