HOE STEINKLADING TE SELECTEREN FOAR YOUR HOME-stienbekleding

Yn dit artikel sille wy in pear wichtige gebieten besjen foar it meitsjen fan jo perfekte muorre en de eleminten dy't byinoar komme om jo de finishen te jaan dy't jo hjoed sjogge op guon fan 'e meast prachtige huzen yn it heule lân.

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.

WAT IS KLADDING?

“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.

WAT IS Natuerstiennen beklaaiïng?

Stienbeklaaiïng is in tinne laach stien oanbrocht op in gebou of oare struktuer makke fan in materiaal oars as stien. Stienen beklaaiïng is hechtet oan in betonnen muorre, bakstien en gebouwen as ûnderdiel fan harren oarspronklike arsjitektoanyske ûntwerp. De efterkant fan elk stik stien wurdt seagen nei in flakke finish, wêrtroch stiennen kinne wurde fêstmakke op passende substraten.

Mei lokaasjes ferspraat oer de hiele wrâld, de measte lannen hawwe in foarm fan natuerlike stien dy't fûn ûnder harren.

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.

Mei in protte ferskillende soarten natuerlike stiennen, fariearjend fan granyt oant kwartsiet fan travertin oant moarmer, binne d'r beklaaide farianten foar elkenien en elkenien.

Wat is frije foarm bekleding?

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.

Mei in efterkant dy't plat is seage foar maklike ynstallaasje, wurde ús yndividuele muorrebekledingsstiennen op in besteande muorre lijm, en kreëarje in natuerlike en tiidleaze organyske útstrieling.

Ynstallearre troch in betûfte stienhouwer, like wichtich foar de kwaliteit fan brûkte stien as de foarm en finish fan 'e stien, is de kwaliteit fan fakmanskip fan jo ynstallearder.

Freeform organic stonework is an art form, and the artist is critical in completing the ‘picture’ that becomes your wall.

It is gjin patroan dat se moatte folgje, d'r binne spesifike manieren dy't jo moatte lizze elk soart organyske bekleding om it juste uterlik te krijen. Wat wy hjir besykje te berikken is it uterlik dat jo struktuer ieuwen lyn mei de hân boud is út aktuele blokken.

As jo ​​​​de beklaaiïng lizze as in abstrakt skilderij of in soarte fan patroan, meitsje jo de muorre mear fan in patroan fan stiennen muorre (wat goed is as jo nei dat uterlik binne) leaver as om it uterlik te berikken fan in struktureel boude muorre dy't boud/steapele wurdt troch in stienhouwer blok foar blok. Op dizze manier past elk stik syn korrels, foarm en kleur.

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.

By it beklaaien fan in frije foarm natuerstien op in besteande muorre moat it noch lykje as binne se boud fan werklike blokken, se moatte noch altyd stabyl ferskine. Ek al is it eins it substraat op 'e rêch dat stabyl wêze moat!

As jo ​​​​it ferskil net sjogge as jo nei in blokmuorre en in beklaaide muorre sjogge, dan hawwe jo de begeerde tiidleaze muorre berikt, dy't twifelje sil oan elkenien dy't spekulearret as de muorre beklaaid is of blokwurk.

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.

As jo ​​​​de sawn rânen hawwe, kinne jo de râne fan elk stik chipje om de stien in natuerliker râne te jaan. Dit is wêr't de ekspertize fan jo stienhouwer echt sjen moat.

As goed dien, kin in frije foarm fan organyske muorre in prachtige tiidleaze funksje meitsje foar jo binnen of bûten. Lykwols, lykas mei alles yn it libben, as hoeken wurde ôfsnien, is d'r praktysk gjin punt om troch it proses te gean. Ien soe better wêze mei oare, mear praktyske opsjes.

WAT IS DRYE STEENKLADING?

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”. It is echt alles oer jo persoanlike foarkar.

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.

As jo ​​​​net wis binne wat by jo hûs of projekt sil passe, skilje ús dan en praat mei ús, wy binne der wis fan dat wy jo de perfekte oplossing oanpasse.

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, stikken besteane út willekeurige fjouwerkanten en rjochthoeken.

 

 STEEN PANELEN EN opsteapele stiennen.

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 panielen wurde beskôge tusken as it giet om ynstallaasje en binne makliker te ynstallearjen yn ferliking mei frije foarm cladding. Beskikber yn maklik te wurkjen mei maten, kinne jo dizze fluch lymje op jo gaadlike substraat. Wy drage persoanlik oerienkommende hoekstikken en bypassende kap om in perfekte finish foar jo hûs te leverjen.

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.

Stacked Stone Panels binne beskikber yn in handige grutte fan 600x150mm en binne lichtgewicht. Se kinne maklik wurde hechte oan jo muorre, fergelykber mei tegels.

 

 

Hokker bekleding is rjocht foar jo?

Mei safolle opsjes beskikber foar jo oan 'e tip fan jo fingers, binne d'r faktoaren dy't jo moatte beskôgje en rekken hâlde foardat jo jo materiaal ynslute.

It’s wise to consider where the wall cladding will be going?

• 1. Soe de beklaaiïng meast nei de sinne rjochtsje of stiet it ûnder it skaad en kin skimmel wurde?
• 2. Sil it hawwe direkte wetter op it, soe it brûkt wurde as in funksje muorre foar in sâlt wetter swimbad?
• 3. Is it foar jo fjoerplak, is it binnen en krijt it in soad waarmte?
• 4. Kinne jo beklaaiïng op 'e gipsmuorre ynstallearje?
• 5. Hoe heech is de muorre? Soe it meganyske fixaasje nedich wêze?
• 6. As it is foar pieren of kolommen, nim dan rieplachtsje mei ús om te witten hokker grutte en opmaak sil wurkje it bêste mei jo spesifike kolom grutte.
• 7. Is it foar de blêdmuorre fan jo thús?

De juste bekleding moat jo romte, omjouwing en budzjet oanfolje.

HOE INSTALLASJE STEENKLADING?

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.

Kies de juste ynstallearder:

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.

De juste ynstallearder kieze kin in wrâld fan ferskil meitsje en is like wichtich as de kwaliteit fan jo stien.

Jo substraat:

Soargje derfoar dat jo stifting solid is en jo oerflak is klear foar tapassing. Foar natuerstien kinne jo it substraat bouwe fan bakstiennen, beton of blokwurk en ôfhinklik fan 'e hichte en grutte moatte jo miskien ek jo muorre ôftekenje troch in yngenieur.

Soargje derfoar dat alle smoargens of pún wurdt fuorthelle út 'e muorre foardat adhering jo stiennen cladding, dit sil tastean foar maksimale adhesion.

Dyn bestelling:

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.

De details:

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.

Sadree't jo muorre is beklaaid, kinne jo it ôfmeitsje mei wat bypassende kap, dit soarget foar in skjinne, skerpe uterlik en feroaret jo muorre wirklik yn in ûnderskate funksje.

As jo ​​tafallich mar in koarte steunmuorre of in plantenbak hawwe, liket it ek geweldich om de folsleine hoekstikken te brûken foar de kap.

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.

Hâld der rekken mei dat jo stikken sille oanpasse oan grutte en de stikken mingje en oerienkomme om jo eigen natuerlike fariaasje te meitsjen, it is echt as keunst en in goede artyst hat syn ark altyd taret.

HOE IS STEINBEKLADING FAST OP PLAATS?

Hokker lijm te brûken foar stiennen beklaaiïng?

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.

Boppedat is Granirapid in lijm dy't rap ynstelle sil, wêrtroch jo de stikken fan jo muorre fluch kinne hechtsje en folle rapper troch jo applikaasje kinne ferpleatse, om't jo gjin tiid hoege te besteegjen oan it tafoegjen fan stipe oan stikken stien dy't tiid nedich hawwe om te hechtsjen mei reguliere kleefstoffen.

“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.”

HOE STEIN KLADDING STEKEN?

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.

Brûk packers om gatten konsekwint te hâlden tusken elk stienstik. Jo kinne plestik packers of packers brûke makke fan houten bits.

Soargje derfoar dat jo it gebiet foar in fierdere 24 oeren ûnoantaaste litte as jo klear binne mei it ynstallearjen fan elk stik.
