BEAUTIFY YOUR HOME MET STEENBEKLADING-stienbekleding

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

WAT IS STEENKLADING?

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.

BENEFITS FAN STEEN CLADDING

Stiennen beklaaiïng hat in protte foardielen boppe oare boumaterialen en, yn guon gefallen, boppe mitselstiennen konstruksje.

• 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.

HOE WORDT STEINKLADING TOEPASST?

Undercut ankers

Dit is de gewoane metoade foar grutte ynstallaasjes. Yn in undercut anker systeem, de installateurs boarje gatten yn 'e efterkant fan' e stien, ynfoegje in bolt en fix de cladding horizontaal. Dit is in goede metoade foar soffits en dikkere panielen.

Kerf metoade

Yn dizze metoade snije installateurs grooves oan de boppe- en ûnderkant fan 'e stien. De stien stiet op in slot oan 'e ûnderkant fan' e cladding paniel mei in twadde clasp oan de top. Dit is in rappe, maklike ynstallaasjemetoade dy't poerbêst is foar lytsere ynstallaasjes en tinner panielen.

Beide ynstallaasjemetoaden brûke in iepen-joint-ûntwerp. Om it uterlik fan echte stien te imitearjen, wize ynstallearders de romten tusken de gewrichten mei masonry grout.
