CONAS CLÁDÚ CHLOCH A ROGHNÚ DON chumhdach cloiche BAILE

San Airteagal seo, beimid ag féachaint ar roinnt príomhréimsí a bhaineann le do bhalla foirfe a chruthú agus na heilimintí a thagann le chéile chun na bailchríocha a fheiceann tú inniu a thabhairt duit ar chuid de na tithe is iontach ar fud na tíre.

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.

CAD É A CHLÁDÚ?

“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.

CAD É IS CHLÚDÚ NÁDÚRTHA?

Is sraith tanaí de chloch é cumhdach cloiche a chuirtear ar fhoirgneamh nó ar struchtúr eile atá déanta as ábhar seachas cloch. Cloíonn cumhdach cloiche le balla coincréite, brící agus foirgnimh mar chuid dá ndearadh ailtireachta bunaidh. Tá cúl gach píosa cloiche sáfa go bailchríoch cothrom, rud a fhágann gur féidir clocha a cheangal le foshraitheanna cuí.

Agus láithreacha scaipthe ar fud an domhain, tá cineál éigin de chloch nádúrtha ag formhór na dtíortha atá le fáil faoina bhun.

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.

Le go leor cineálacha éagsúla de chlocha nádúrtha, ó eibhir go grianchlochít ó trabhairtín go marmair tá cineálacha cumhdaigh ann a oireann do dhuine ar bith agus do gach duine.

Cad is cumhdach saor in aisce ann?

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.

Le cúl atá sáfa cothrom le haghaidh suiteáil éasca, greamaítear ár gclocha cumhdaigh balla aonair ar bhalla atá ann cheana féin, rud a chruthaíonn cuma orgánach nádúrtha gan am.

Suiteáilte ag saor cloiche oilte, chomh tábhachtach céanna le cáilíocht na cloiche a úsáidtear chomh maith le cruth agus bailchríoch na cloiche, tá cáilíocht na ceardaíochta ó do shuiteálaí.

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

Ní patrún é a chaithfidh siad a leanúint, tá bealaí sonracha ann a gcaithfidh tú gach cineál cumhdach orgánach a leagan chun an cuma ceart a fháil. Is é an rud atáimid ag iarraidh a bhaint amach anseo ná an chuma go bhfuil do struchtúr tógtha de láimh ó bhloic iarbhír, na céadta bliain ó shin.

Má leagann tú an cumhdach amhail is dá mba phéinteáil teibí nó de phatrún éigin é, déanann tú balla cloiche le patrún níos mó den bhalla. (rud atá go maith má tá tú tar éis an cuma sin) seachas an cuma a bhaint amach ar bhalla tógtha struchtúrach atá tógtha/cruachta ag saor cloiche bloc ar bhloc. Ar an mbealach seo oireann sé gach píosa dá gráinní, cruth agus dath.

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.

Nuair a bhíonn cloch nádúrtha saor in aisce á chumhdach ar bhalla atá ann cheana féin caithfidh sé cuma a bheith air fós amhail is gur tógadh as bloic iarbhír iad, caithfidh siad a bheith cobhsaí fós. Cé gurb é an tsubstráit ar a chúl is gá a bheith cobhsaí!

Mura bhfeiceann tú an difríocht agus tú ag féachaint ar bhlocbhalla agus balla cladáilte, tá an balla gan teorainn bainte amach agat, rud a chuirfidh amhras ar aon duine a bheidh ag tuairimíocht an bhfuil an balla cumhdaithe nó an bhfuil blocobair ann.

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.

Má tá na himill sáfa agat, is féidir leat imeall gach píosa a shliseadh chun imeall níos nádúrtha a thabhairt don chloch. Seo an áit ar cheart saineolas do shaoir chloiche a thaispeáint i ndáiríre.

Nuair a dhéantar é i gceart, is féidir le balla orgánach saor in aisce gné néal a chur ar do chuid ama laistigh nó lasmuigh. Mar is amhlaidh le haon rud sa saol, áfach, má ghearrtar coirnéil, is beag nach bhfuil aon phointe ann dul tríd an bpróiseas. Bheadh ​​ceann amháin níos fearr as le roghanna eile atá níos praiticiúla.

CAD É IS CLÁDÚ CLOCH THIRIM?

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”. Tá sé i ndáiríre ar fad faoi do rogha pearsanta.

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.

Mura bhfuil tú cinnte cé acu a oireann do do theach nó do do thionscadal cuir glaoch orainn agus labhair linn, táimid cinnte go gcuirfimid an réiteach foirfe in oiriúint duit.

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 – Eisléir randamach, is éard atá i bpíosaí cearnóga randamacha agus dronuilleoga.

 

 PAINÉIL CHLOCH AGUS CLOCHA CRUACH.

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.

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.

Agus an oiread sin roghanna ar fáil duit ag barr do mhéara, tá fachtóirí ann le breithniú agus le cur san áireamh sula gcuirfear d’ábhar faoi ghlas.

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

• 1. An mbeadh aghaidh ar an ngrian den chuid is mó ar an gclúdach nó an bhfuil sé faoin scáth agus an bhféadfadh sé éirí as?
• 2. An mbeidh uisce díreach air, an n-úsáidfí é mar bhalla gné le haghaidh linn uisce salainn?
• 3. An bhfuil sé do do teallach, an bhfuil sé taobh istigh agus go bhfaigheann sé go leor teasa?
• 4. An féidir leat cumhdach a shuiteáil ar an mballa plástair?
• 5. Cé chomh hard is atá an balla? An mbeadh gá le feistiú meicniúil?
• 6. Más le haghaidh céanna nó colúin é, téigh i gcomhairle linn le do thoil chun a fháil amach cén méid agus formáid a oibreoidh is fearr le do mhéid colún ar leith.
• 7. An bhfuil sé le haghaidh balla lann do theach?

Ba chóir go gcomhlánódh an cumhdach ceart do spás, do thimpeallacht agus do bhuiséad.

CONAS CLÁDÚ CHLOCH A SHÁSÁIL?

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.

Roghnaigh an suiteálaí ceart:

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.

Is féidir domhan difríochta a dhéanamh ach an suiteálaí ceart a phiocadh agus tá sé chomh tábhachtach céanna le cáilíocht do chloch.

Do Fhoshraith:

Cinntigh go bhfuil do bhunsraith soladach agus go bhfuil do dhromchla réidh le cur i bhfeidhm. Maidir le cloch nádúrtha, féadfaidh tú an tsubstráit a thógáil as brící, coincréit nó blocobair agus ag brath ar an airde agus ar an méid b'fhéidir go mbeadh ort do bhalla a shíniú ag innealtóir.

Cinntigh go mbaintear aon salachar nó smionagar den bhalla sula gcloíonn tú do chumhdach cloiche, ligfidh sé seo do ghreamaitheacht uasta.

D'Ordú:

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.

Na Sonraí:

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.

Nuair a bheidh do bhalla clúdaithe is féidir leat é a chríochnú le roinnt caipínithe meaitseála, cruthaíonn sé seo cuma ghlan, ghlan agus is gné ar leith é do bhalla.

Mura bhfuil ach balla coinneála gearr nó bosca plandálaí agat, is iontach an rud é freisin na píosaí cúinne iomlána a úsáid don uasteorainn.

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.

Coinnigh i gcuimhne go mbeidh tú ag coigeartú píosaí de réir méid agus ag meascadh agus ag meaitseáil na píosaí chun do éagsúlacht nádúrtha féin a chruthú, tá sé cosúil le healaín i ndáiríre agus d'ullmhaigh ealaíontóir maith a chuid uirlisí i gcónaí.

CONAS A SHEASMHAÍTEAR CLÁDÚ CLOCH?

Cén ghreamaitheach atá le húsáid le haghaidh cumhdach cloiche?

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.

Ina theannta sin, is gliú socraithe tapa é Granirapid a ligfidh duit na píosaí de do bhalla a chloí go tapa agus bogadh trí d'iarratas i bhfad níos tapúla mar ní bheidh ort am a chaitheamh ag cur tacaíochta le píosaí cloiche a dteastaíonn am chun cloí le greamacháin rialta.

“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.”

CONAS CLÁDÚ CHLOCH A GHLACADH?

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.

Úsáid pacálaithe chun bearnaí a choinneáil comhsheasmhach idir gach píosa cloiche. Is féidir leat pacálaithe plaisteacha nó pacálaithe atá déanta as píosaí adhmaid a úsáid.

Déan cinnte an t-achar a fhágáil gan teagmháil ar feadh 24 uair an chloig eile tar éis duit gach píosa a shuiteáil.
