In hoc articulo inspice aliquas regiones praecipuas creandi tuum perfectum murum et elementa quae conveniunt ad fines quos hodie vides in aliquibus domiciliis e regione maxime attonitus.
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.
“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.
Lapis Cladding est tenui iacuit lapidum ad aedificium vel aliam structuram ex materia quam lapide adhibita. Clamatio lapidea muro concreto, testaceo et aedificiis adhaeret ut pars consilii architectonici originalis. Cuiusque lapidis dorsum ad metam planam secatur, quae lapides ad subjectos aptandos figi sinit.
Locis toto orbe dispersis, plurimae nationes habent formam aliquam lapidis naturalis sub se reperti.
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.
Cum pluribus generibus lapidum naturalium, a lapidis ad quartzite usque a travertine usque ad marmora, variae voculae varietates sunt cuivis et cuivis aptae.
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.
Cum dorsum, quod ad facilem institutionem funditus sectum est, singuli nostri lapides claudentes in murum existentem adfixa sunt, aspectum organicum naturalem et salubrem creantes.
A perito lapideo instituto, aeque momenti ad qualitatem lapidis adhibiti, tum figura et ratio lapidis, est qualitas artificiorum ab institutore tuo.
Freeform organic stonework is an art form, and the artist is critical in completing the ‘picture’ that becomes your wall.
Non est exemplum quod sequantur, certis modis opus est ponere singulas species cladding organici ut ius vultus. Quod hic assequi conamur, species est quam structuram tuam aedificatam esse ab ipsis caudices, ante saecula.
Si picturam abstractam vel alicuius exemplaris plagulam ponis, parietem in plures parietem lapidis formati verteris. (Quod sit pulchrum, si post hoc vultus) potius quam aspectum consequi muri structurae aedificati, qui per scandalum saxum reclinatum/stinxit. Hoc modo singula grana, figuram et colorem decent.
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.
Cum cladding libera forma lapidis naturalis super murum exsistens adhuc spectare debet tamquam ex caudice actuali constructa, adhuc opus est ut stabilis appareat. Etsi actu substratum est a tergo quod stabilis indiget!
Si differentiam non vides cum ad truncum murum et ad parietem vestitum aspicias, tunc parietem intempestivum avarium consecutus es, qui dubitabit quis speculatur si murus sit opertus vel clausus labor.
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 sectam marginem habes, marginem cujusque particulae assulare possis, ut lapidi naturaliori marginem dones. Haec ubi peritia lapidis tui re vera monstrare debet.
Cum rite perfecto, murus organicus forma libera potest creare plumam intempestivam in domesticis vel foris tuis. Sed sicut in omni vita, si anguli incisi sunt, punctum in eundo per processum non est. Melius cum aliis, utilius bene.
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”. Vere de omnibus tuis personalis preference.
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.
Si non es certus quod domum tuam conveniet vel consilium nobis vocationi dabit et nobis loquatur, certi sumus nos vobis solutionem perfectam sartorem esse.
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 ashlarfrusta temere quadratis et rectangulis constant.
LAPIDARUM TABULAE ET LAPIDES.
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.
Tabulae Z inter considerantur cum ad institutionem venit et faciliora sunt ad formationem cladding institutionem comparandam. Praesto faciliter ad operandum cum magnitudinibus, cito has in subiectas convenientes conglutinare potes. Nos personaliter adaptare pieces angulis portamus et capping adaptare ad perfectam metam pro domo tua providendam.
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.

Quod Cladding tibi fas est?
Cum tot optiones tibi in extremo digitorum tuorum praesto sint, factores sunt considerandi et ratiocinandi antequam in materia tua obfirmatis.
It’s wise to consider where the wall cladding will be going?
Recta clasratio spatium tuum compleat, ambit ac budget.
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.
Colligunt ius installer:
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.
Electus installator ius potest facere mundum differentiae et aeque magna est quam tui lapidis qualitas.
Substratum tuum:
Fundamentum certum tuum solidum est, et superficies tua ad applicationem parata est. Pro lapide naturali, substratum e lateribus, opere concreto vel stipite, et altitudine et magnitudine fretus aedifices, etiam opus habere debes murum tuum ab architecto signatum.
Fac ut aliqua sordes vel strages a pariete removeantur ante adhaesuram lapidis tui clausurae, hoc maximum adhaesionem patietur.
Ordinem vestrum:
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.
Retineo:
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.
Postquam murus tuus obsitus est, eum cum capping aliquo adaptare potes, hoc mundum, rigidum aspectum creat et murum tuum in distinctum notam revera vertit.
Si contigerit solum habere brevem retinendi parietem vel capsulam plantator, eam quoque magnam spectat ad frustulas angularis plenas pro capping.
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.
Mementote te componi et componi partes quantitati ac miscendi et adaptandi frusta ad variationem naturalem tuam creandam, vere similis est ars et artifex bonus semper sua instrumenta paravit.
Quid tenaces ad usum cla- strationum lapidearum?
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.
Praeterea, Granirapid est gluten velox occasum, quod permittit te cito inhaerere frusta muri tui, et per applicationem tuam multo velocius moveri, sicut soles tempus vacare addens subsidia lapidis, quae tempore adhaesivis regularibus adhaerere necesse est.
“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.”
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.
