CAD É A CHUR CHUN CINN CONAS CLÁDÚ CHLOCH A ROGHNÚ DO DO THÍ

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.

Cúinne leac oighir liath

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.
