Nan atik sa a, nou pral pran yon gade nan kèk zòn kle nan kreye miray pafè ou a ak eleman yo ki reyini ansanm pou ba ou fini yo ou wè jodi a sou kèk nan kay ki pi sansasyonèl atravè peyi a.

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.

KISA CLADDING YE?

“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.

KISA WÒCH NATIRÈL CLADDING YE?

Stone Cladding se yon kouch mens nan wòch aplike nan yon bilding oswa lòt estrikti ki fèt ak yon materyèl ki pa wòch. Cladding Stone se konfòme yo ak yon miray konkrè, brik ak bilding kòm yon pati nan konsepsyon orijinal achitekti yo. Se dèyè chak moso wòch scie nan yon fini plat, ki pèmèt wòch yo dwe fiks sou substrats apwopriye.

Ak kote yo gaye toupatou nan mond lan, pifò peyi yo gen kèk fòm wòch natirèl ki jwenn anba yo.

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.

Avèk anpil diferan kalite wòch natirèl, sòti nan granit nan kwatsit soti nan travèrtin nan mab gen varyete CLADDING kostim nenpòt moun ak tout moun.

Ki sa ki fòm gratis Cladding?

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.

Avèk yon do ki te scie plat pou enstalasyon fasil, wòch endividyèl miray CLADDING nou yo kole sou yon miray ki egziste deja, kreye yon gade natirèl ak timeless òganik.

Enstale pa yon bòs bòs wòch kalifye, egalman enpòtan nan bon jan kalite a nan wòch yo itilize kòm byen ke fòm nan ak fini nan wòch la, se bon jan kalite a nan atizana soti nan enstalatè ou a.

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

Li se pa yon modèl ke yo dwe swiv, gen fason espesifik ou bezwen mete chak kalite CLADDING òganik jwenn gade nan dwa. Ki sa nou ap eseye reyalize isit la se aparans ke estrikti ou a te men bati soti nan blòk aktyèl, syèk de sa.

Si ou mete kouvèti a tankou si se yon penti abstrè oswa yon sòt de modèl ou vire miray la nan plis nan yon miray wòch modele. (ki bon si w ap chèche gade sa a) olye ke yo reyalize aparans nan yon miray estriktirèl bati ki bati / anpile pa yon stonemason blòk pa blòk. Nan fason sa a li chak moso kostim grenn li yo, fòm ak koulè.

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.

Lè w ap kouvri yon wòch natirèl fòm gratis sou yon miray ki deja egziste li toujou bezwen sanble tankou si yo te bati nan blòk aktyèl yo, yo toujou bezwen parèt ki estab. Menm si se aktyèlman substrate sou do a ki bezwen stab!

Si ou pa wè diferans lan lè w ap gade nan yon miray blòk ak yon miray rekouvèr, Lè sa a, ou te reyalize miray ranpa a tan te sitèlman anvi ki pral doute nenpòt moun ki espekile si miray la revèti oswa travay blòk.

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.

Si ou gen kwen yo scie, ou ka chip kwen an nan chak moso pou bay wòch la yon kwen pi natirèl. Sa a se kote ekspètiz nan stonemason ou ta dwe reyèlman montre.

Lè yo fè byen, yon miray òganik fòm gratis ka kreye yon karakteristik sansasyonèl intemporel andedan kay la oswa deyò. Sepandan, menm jan ak nenpòt bagay nan lavi, si kwen yo koupe, pa gen pratikman okenn pwen nan ale atravè tout pwosesis la. Youn ta pi bon ak lòt opsyon ki pi pratik.

KIJAN POU ENSTALE CLADDING WÒCH?

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.

Chwazi enstalatè a dwat:

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.

Chwazi enstalatè a dwat ka fè yon mond nan diferans ak Li enpòtan menm jan ak bon jan kalite a nan wòch ou a.

Substra ou:

Asire w ke fondasyon ou an solid epi sifas ou pare pou aplikasyon an. Pou wòch natirèl, ou ka bati substra a soti nan brik, konkrè oswa travay blòk epi tou depann de wotè ak gwosè ou ka bezwen tou fè miray ou siyen pa yon enjenyè.

Asire w ke nenpòt pousyè tè oswa debri yo retire nan miray la anvan ou adhere rekouvèt wòch ou a, sa pral pèmèt adezyon maksimòm.

Lòd ou a:

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.

Detay yo:

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.

Yon fwa yo rekouvèr miray ou a, ou ka fini li ak kèk capping matche, sa a kreye yon gade pwòp, sèk ak reyèlman vire miray ou a nan yon karakteristik diferan.

Si ou rive sèlman gen yon miray kenbe kout oswa yon bwat plantè li sanble tou gwo yo sèvi ak moso yo kwen plen pou capping la.

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.

Kenbe nan tèt ou ou pral ajiste moso nan gwosè ak melanje ak matche moso yo kreye pwòp varyasyon natirèl ou, li vrèman se tankou atizay ak yon bon atis toujou prepare zouti li yo.

KIJAN REVÊTEMENT WÒCH FIXE AN PLAS?

Ki adezif yo itilize pou rekouvèt wòch?

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.

Anplis, Granirapid se yon lakòl ki tabli rapid ki pral pèmèt ou konfòme moso yo nan miray ou byen vit epi deplase nan aplikasyon w lan pi vit paske ou pa pral bezwen pase tan ajoute sipò nan moso wòch ki bezwen tan yo konfòme yo ak adhésifs regilye.

“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.”

KIJAN POU KOLE CLADDING WÒCH?

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.

Sèvi ak packers pou kenbe espas ki konsistan ant chak moso wòch. Ou ka itilize pake plastik oswa pake ki fèt ak moso an bwa.

Asire w ke w kite zòn nan intact pou yon lòt 24 èdtan yon fwa ou fin enstale chak moso.
