An dësem Artikel wäerte mir e puer Schlësselberäicher kucken fir Är perfekt Mauer ze kreéieren an d'Elementer déi zesummekommen fir Iech d'Finishen ze ginn, déi Dir haut op e puer vun de beandrockendsten Haiser am ganze Land gesitt.
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.
Steenbekleedung ass eng dënn Schicht Steen applizéiert op e Gebai oder eng aner Struktur aus engem anere Material wéi Steen. Steenbekleedung hält sech un eng konkret Mauer, Mauerwierk a Gebaier als Deel vun hirem originelle architektoneschen Design. De Réck vun all Stéck Steen gëtt op e flaache Finish gesaagt, wat et erlaabt datt Steng op passenden Substrate fixéiert ginn.
Mat Plazen iwwerall op der Welt verspreet, hunn déi meescht Länner eng Form vun natierleche Steen, deen ënnert hinnen fonnt gëtt.
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.
Mat villen verschiddenen Aarte vun natierleche Steng, rangéiert vu Granit bis Quarzit vun Travertin bis Marmer, ginn et Verkleedungsvarianten fir jiddereen a jiddereen ze passen.
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.
Mat engem Réck, dee flaach gesaagt ass fir eng einfach Installatioun, ginn eis individuell Wandbekleedungsstee op eng existent Mauer gekollt, wat en natierlechen an zäitlosen organesche Look erstellt.
Installéiert vun engem kompetente Steemetzer, gläich wichteg fir d'Qualitéit vum benotzte Steen wéi och d'Form an d'Finish vum Steen, ass d'Qualitéit vum Handwierk vun Ärem Installateur.
Freeform organic stonework is an art form, and the artist is critical in completing the ‘picture’ that becomes your wall.
Et ass net e Muster dat se musse verfollegen, et gi spezifesch Weeër déi Dir braucht fir all Zort vun organescher Verkleedung ze leeën fir de richtege Look ze kréien. Wat mir probéieren hei z'erreechen ass d'Erscheinung datt Är Struktur aus aktuellen Blocken, virun Jorhonnerte, handgebaut gouf.
Wann Dir d'Verkleedung leet wéi wann et en abstrakt Molerei oder eng Zort Muster wier, verwandelt Dir d'Mauer an méi eng Mustere Steenmauer (wat gutt ass wann Dir no deem Look sidd) anstatt de Look vun enger strukturell gebauter Mauer z'erreechen, déi vun engem Steemetzer Block fir Block gebaut/gestapelt gëtt. Esou passt all Stéck seng Kären, Form a Faarf.
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.
Wann Dir e fräie Form natierleche Steen op eng existent Mauer bekläert, muss et nach ëmmer ausgesinn wéi wann se aus aktuellen Blöcke gebaut goufen, se mussen nach ëmmer stabil sinn. Och wann et eigentlech de Substrat um Réck ass, dee stabil muss sinn!
Wann Dir den Ënnerscheed net gesitt wann Dir eng Blockmauer an eng gekleete Mauer kuckt, dann hutt Dir déi begeeschtert zäitlos Mauer erreecht, déi iergendeen Zweifel wäert, dee spekuléiert ob d'Mauer gekleet ass oder Blockaarbecht ass.
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.
Wann Dir d'gesähnte Kanten hutt, kënnt Dir de Rand vun all Stéck ofschneiden fir de Steen e méi natierleche Rand ze ginn. Dëst ass wou d'Expertise vun Ärem Steemetzer wierklech soll weisen.
Wann et richteg gemaach gëtt, kann eng fräi Form organesch Mauer eng beandrockend zäitlos Feature fir Är dobannen oder dobausse kreéieren. Wéi och ëmmer, wéi mat alles am Liewen, wann Ecker ofgeschnidden sinn, ass et praktesch kee Sënn de Prozess duerchzegoen. Et wier ee besser mat aneren, méi praktesch Optiounen.
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”. Et ass wierklech alles ëm Är perséinlech Virléiften.
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.
Wann Dir net sécher sidd wat fir Äert Heem oder Projet passt, rufft eis un a schwätzt mat eis, mir si sécher datt mir Iech déi perfekt Léisung upassen.
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 – Zoufälleg Asche, Stécker besteet aus zoufälleg Felder a Rechtecker.
STEEN PANELEN AN STACKED STEEN.
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 Paneele ginn tëscht der Installatioun ugesinn a si méi einfach ze installéieren am Verglach mat fräi Formbekleedung. Verfügbar an einfach ze schaffen mat Gréissten, kënnt Dir dës séier op Äre gëeegente Substrat pechen. Mir droen perséinlech passende Eckstécker a passende Kappen fir e perfekte Finish fir Äert Heem ze bidden.
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 sinn an enger praktescher Gréisst vu 600x150mm verfügbar a si liicht. Si kënne ganz einfach op Är Mauer befestegt ginn, ähnlech wéi Fliesen.
Wéi eng Verkleedung ass richteg fir Iech?
Mat sou vill Méiglechkeete fir Iech um Tipp vun Äre Fangeren, ginn et Faktore fir ze berücksichtegen an ze berücksichtegen ier Dir Äert Material gespaart.
It’s wise to consider where the wall cladding will be going?
Déi richteg Verkleedung soll Äre Raum, Ëmfeld a Budget ergänzen.
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.
Wielt de richtegen Installateur:
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 richtege Installateur auswielen kann eng Welt vun Ënnerscheed maachen an Ass gläich sou wichteg wéi d'Qualitéit vun Ärem Steen.
Ären Substrat:
Gitt sécher datt Äre Fundament zolidd ass an Är Uewerfläch prett ass fir ze benotzen. Fir Natursteen kënnt Dir de Substrat aus Zillen, Beton oder Blockaarbecht bauen an ofhängeg vun der Héicht an der Gréisst musst Dir och Är Mauer vun engem Ingenieur ënnerschriwwen hunn.
Vergewëssert Iech datt all Dreck oder Dreck aus der Mauer geläscht gëtt ier Dir Är Steenbekleedung hält, dëst erlaabt maximal Adhäsioun.
Är Bestellung:
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.
Detailer:
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.
Wann Är Mauer gekleet ass, kënnt Dir et mat e puer passende Kappen ofschléissen, dëst schaaft e proppert, knusprech Look a mécht Är Mauer wierklech an eng ënnerschiddlech Feature.
Wann Dir zoufälleg nëmmen eng kuerz Haltmauer oder eng Planzekëscht hutt, gesäit et och super aus fir déi voll Eckstécker fir d'Capping ze benotzen.
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.
Denkt drun datt Dir Stécker op d'Gréisst upassen an d'Stécker vermëschen a passen fir Är eege natierlech Variatioun ze kreéieren, et ass wierklech wéi Konscht an e gudde Kënschtler huet ëmmer seng Tools virbereet.
Wéi eng Klebstoff fir Steenbekleedung ze benotzen?
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.
Ausserdeem ass Granirapid e séier setzende Klebstoff deen Iech erlaabt Iech d'Stécker vun Ärer Mauer séier ze hänken an duerch Är Applikatioun vill méi séier ze beweegen, well Dir braucht keng Zäit ze verbréngen Ënnerstëtzung fir Steenstécker ze addéieren déi Zäit brauchen fir mat regelméissege Klebstoff ze halen.
“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.
Benotzt Packer fir Lücken konsequent tëscht all Steenstéck ze halen. Dir kënnt Plastikspacker oder Packer aus Holzbëscher benotzen.
Vergewëssert Iech d'Géigend fir eng weider 24 Stonnen onberéiert ze loossen nodeems Dir all Stéck fäerdeg sidd.
