KAUNISTA OMA KODU KIVIVOODRIGA-kivivoodriga

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

MIS ON KIVIVAADISTUS?

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.

KIVIVOODITE EELISED

Kivivooderdusel on palju eeliseid võrreldes teiste ehitusmaterjalidega ja mõnel juhul ka müüritise kiviehitusega.

• 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.

KUIDAS KIVIVADIST RAKENDATAKSE?

Alalõigatud ankrud

See on tavaline meetod suurte paigalduste jaoks. Alutatud ankurdussüsteemis puurivad paigaldajad kivi taha augud, sisestavad poldi ja kinnitavad katte horisontaalselt. See on hea meetod sofittide ja paksemate paneelide jaoks.

Kerfi meetod

Selle meetodi puhul lõikavad paigaldajad kivi üla- ja alaossa sooned. Kivisid paiknevad voodripaneeli allosas klambril, mille ülaosas on teine ​​lukk. See on kiire ja lihtne paigaldusviis, mis sobib suurepäraselt väiksemate paigalduste ja õhemate paneelide jaoks.

Mõlemad paigaldusmeetodid kasutavad avatud vuugi konstruktsiooni. Tõelise kivi välimuse jäljendamiseks suunavad paigaldajad vuukidevahelised ruumid müüritise mördiga.
