AHOANA NO FIFIDIANA NY FAMPIANARANA VATO HO AN'NY FAMPIANARANA VATO

Ato amin'ity lahatsoratra ity, isika dia hijery ny faritra manan-danja sasany amin'ny famoronana ny manda tonga lafatra sy ny singa izay mitambatra mba hanome anao ny vita izay hitanao androany amin'ny sasany amin'ireo trano manaitra indrindra manerana ny firenena.

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.

INONA NO 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.

INONA NO CLADDING VATO NATURAL?

Stone Cladding dia vato manify ampiharina amin'ny tranobe na rafitra hafa vita amin'ny fitaovana hafa ankoatry ny vato. Ny fametahana vato dia mifikitra amin'ny rindrina vita amin'ny simenitra, biriky ary tranobe ho ampahany amin'ny famolavolana maritrano tany am-boalohany. Ny lamosin'ny tapa-bato tsirairay dia tsofina amin'ny endriny fisaka, izay ahafahana mametraka vato amin'ny substrate mety.

Miaraka amin'ny toerana miparitaka eran'izao tontolo izao, ny ankamaroan'ny firenena dia manana endrika vato voajanahary hita ao ambaniny.

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.

Miaraka amin'ny karazana vato voajanahary maro isan-karazany, manomboka amin'ny granita ka hatramin'ny quartzite manomboka amin'ny travertine ka hatramin'ny marbra dia misy karazana cladding mifanaraka amin'ny olon-drehetra.

Inona no atao hoe free form 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.

Miaraka amin'ny lamosina vita amin'ny tsofa fisaka ho mora apetraka, ny vato manarona rindrina misy antsika tsirairay dia apetaka amin'ny rindrina efa misy, mamorona endrika voajanahary voajanahary sy tsy manam-potoana.

Napetraky ny mpanao vato mahay, mitovy amin'ny zava-dehibe amin'ny kalitaon'ny vato ampiasaina ary koa ny endrika sy ny fiafaran'ny vato, dia ny kalitaon'ny asa tanana avy amin'ny installer anao.

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

Tsy lamina tsy maintsy arahin'izy ireo izany, misy fomba manokana ilainao hametrahana ny karazana cladding organika tsirairay mba hahazoana endrika tsara. Ny zavatra ezahinay tratrarina eto dia ny endriky ny rafitrao izay naorina tamin'ny tanana avy amin'ny vato tena izy, taonjato maro lasa izay.

Raha mametraka ny fonony ho toy ny sary hosodoko na karazana lamina ianao dia mamadika ny rindrina ho rindrina vato misy lamina kokoa. (izay tsara raha manaraka an'io fijery io ianao) fa tsy ny hanatratra ny endriky ny rindrina vita amin'ny rafitra izay naorina / voafantina amin'ny vatofantsika tsirairay. Amin'izany fomba izany, ny ampahany tsirairay dia mifanaraka amin'ny voany, ny endriny ary ny lokony.

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.

Rehefa mametaka vato voajanahary malalaka eo amin'ny rindrina efa misy dia mbola tokony ho toy ny hoe naorina tamin'ny vato tena izy ireo, dia mbola mila miseho ho miorina tsara. Na dia ny substrate ao ambadika aza no tena mila stable!

Raha tsy hitanao ny fahasamihafana rehefa mijery rindrina sakana sy rindrina mitafy, dia efa nahatratra ny rindrina tsy manam-potoana tsy manam-potoana izay isalasalana fa misy olona manombatombana raha toa ny rindrina dia voasarona na asa fanakanana.

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.

Raha manana sisin'ny tsofa ianao, dia azonao atao ny manapaka ny sisin'ny tapany tsirairay mba hanomezana ny sisiny voajanahary kokoa. Eto no tena tokony hisehoan'ny fahaizan'ny mpanao vato anao.

Rehefa vita araka ny tokony ho izy, ny rindrina organika maimaim-poana dia afaka mamorona endri-javatra manaitra tsy manam-potoana ho an'ny tranonao na any ivelany. Na izany aza, toy ny amin'ny zava-drehetra eo amin'ny fiainana, raha tapaka ny zoro, dia tsy misy dikany ny mandeha amin'ny dingana. Ny iray dia ho tsara kokoa amin'ny safidy hafa azo ampiharina kokoa.

INONA NO CLADING VATO MAIINA?

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”. Tena miankina amin'ny safidinao manokana izany.

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.

Raha tsy azonao antoka hoe iza no mifanaraka amin'ny tranonao na tetikasa dia antsoy izahay ary resaho aminay, azonay antoka fa hanamboatra anao ny vahaolana tonga lafatra.

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 – Ashlar kisendrasendra, ny tapany dia ahitana efamira sy mahitsizoro.

 

 VATO TENA SY VATO MITONDRA.

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.

Misy amin'ny habe mora ampiasaina, azonao atao ny mametaka azy haingana amin'ny substrate mety aminao. Izahay manokana dia mitondra tapa-joro mifanandrify sy kapila mifanandrify mba hanomezana endrika tonga lafatra ho an'ny tranonao.

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.

Inona no Cladding mety aminao?

Miaraka amin'ny safidy maro azo omena anao amin'ny tendron'ny rantsan-tànanao, misy antony tokony hodinihina sy hodinihina alohan'ny hanidiana ny fitaovanao.

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

• 1. Mitodika any amin'ny masoandro ve ny fonony sa ao ambanin'ny alokaloka ka mety ho bobongolo?
• 2. Hisy rano mivantana eo amboniny ve izy io, azo ampiasaina ho rindrina misy ranon-tsira?
• 3. Moa ve izany ho an'ny fatanao, ao an-trano ve izany ary mahazo hafanana be?
• 4. Afaka mametraka cladding eo amin'ny rindrin'ny plaster ve ianao?
• 5. Manao ahoana ny haavon'ny rindrina? Mila fanamboarana mekanika ve izany?
• 6. Raha ho an'ny pier na tsanganana, azafady miresaha aminay mba hahafantarana hoe iza no habe sy endrika mety tsara indrindra amin'ny haben'ny tsanganana manokana.
• 7. Moa ve izany ho an'ny rindrin'ny lelan'ny tranonao?

Ny cladding tsara dia tokony hameno ny habaka, ny manodidina ary ny teti-bola.

AHOANA NY FANAMPIANA CLADDING VATO?

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.

Fidio ny installer mety:

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.

Ny fisafidianana ny installer mety dia mety hitondra fiovana lehibe ary manan-danja mitovy amin'ny kalitaon'ny vatonao.

Ny substrate anao:

Ataovy azo antoka fa mafy orina ny fondationanao ary efa vonona hampiharina. Ho an'ny vato voajanahary, azonao atao ny manangana ny substrate amin'ny biriky, simenitra na asa sakana ary miankina amin'ny haavony sy ny habeny dia mety ilainao koa ny manasonia ny rindrinao amin'ny injeniera.

Ataovy azo antoka fa misy loto na potipoti-javatra Esorina amin'ny rindrina alohan'ny hifikitra amin'ny lambanao vato, izany dia ahafahana miraikitra ambony indrindra.

Ny baikonao:

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.

Ny antsipiriany:

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.

Rehefa voasarona ny rindrinao dia azonao atao ny mamita azy amin'ny fametahana mifanandrify aminy, mamorona endrika madio sy mangatsiatsiaka izany ary tena mamadika ny rindrinao ho endri-javatra miavaka.

Raha toa ianao ka tsy manana rindrina fitehirizana fohy na boaty mpamboly dia tsara ihany koa ny mampiasa ny zorony feno ho an'ny 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.

Ataovy ao an-tsaina fa ianao dia hanitsy ny tapany amin'ny habeny sy ny fampifangaroana sy ny mampifanaraka ny sombintsombiny mba hamoronana ny voajanahary fiovaovana, dia tena toy ny zavakanto sy ny mpanakanto mahay nanomana ny fitaovany foana.

AHOANA NO ATAO AMIN'NY TOERANA NY CLADING VATO?

Inona no adhesive ampiasaina amin'ny fametahana vato?

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.

Fanampin'izany, ny Granirapid dia lakaoly fifadian-kanina izay ahafahanao mifikitra haingana amin'ireo tapa-drindrinao ary mivezivezy haingana kokoa amin'ny fampiharana anao satria tsy mila mandany fotoana fanampiny ianao amin'ny fanampiana ireo tapa-bato izay mila fotoana hifikirana amin'ny adhesive mahazatra.

 

Firakotra vato mikoriana rano mavo ho an'ny loharano

 

 

“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.”

AHOANA NO HIFIKA NY CLADDING VATO?

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.

Ampiasao ny packer mba hitazonana ny elanelana eo anelanelan'ny tapa-bato tsirairay. Azonao atao ny mampiasa kitapo plastika na packer vita amin'ny bits hazo.

Ataovy azo antoka ny mamela ny faritra tsy voakitika mandritra ny 24 ora fanampiny rehefa vita ny fametrahana ny ampahany tsirairay.
