F'dan l-artikolu, se nagħtu ħarsa lejn xi oqsma ewlenin tal-ħolqien tal-ħajt perfett tiegħek u l-elementi li jingħaqdu flimkien biex jagħtuk il-finituri li tara llum fuq xi wħud mill-aktar djar tal-isturdament madwar il-pajjiż.

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.

X'INHU IL-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.

X'INHU IL-KISI TAL-ĠEBEL NATURALI?

Kisi tal-ġebel huwa saff irqiq ta 'ġebel applikat għal bini jew struttura oħra magħmula minn materjal ieħor għajr il-ġebel. Kisi tal-ġebel huwa jaderixxi ma 'ħajt tal-konkrit, brickwork u bini bħala parti mid-disinn arkitettoniku oriġinali tagħhom. Id-dahar ta 'kull biċċa ġebel huwa sserrat għal finitura ċatta, li tippermetti li l-ġebel jiġi ffissat ma' sottostrati xierqa.

B'postijiet imxerrda madwar id-dinja kollha, il-biċċa l-kbira tal-pajjiżi għandhom xi forma ta 'ġebla naturali li tinsab taħthom.

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.

B'ħafna tipi differenti ta 'ġebel naturali, li jvarjaw minn granit għal kwarżit minn travertina għal irħam hemm varjetajiet ta' kisi li jixirqu lil kulħadd u lil kulħadd.

X'inhu Kisi b'forma ħielsa?

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.

B'dahar li ġie isserrat ċatt għal installazzjoni faċli, il-ġebel tal-kisi tal-ħajt individwali tagħna huwa inkollat ​​fuq ħajt eżistenti, u joħloq dehra organika naturali u prontezza.

Installat minn ġebel tas-sengħa, daqstant importanti għall-kwalità tal-ġebel użat kif ukoll il-forma u l-finitura tal-ġebla, hija l-kwalità tas-sengħa mill-installatur tiegħek.

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

Mhuwiex mudell li jridu jsegwu, hemm modi speċifiċi li għandek bżonn biex tpoġġi kull tip ta 'kisi organiku biex tikseb id-dehra t-tajba. Dak li qed nippruvaw niksbu hawnhekk hija d-dehra li l-istruttura tiegħek inbniet bl-idejn minn blokki attwali, sekli ilu.

Jekk tpoġġi l-kisi bħallikieku hija pittura astratta jew xi tip ta 'mudell, iddawwar il-ħajt f'aktar ħajt tal-ġebel imfassal (li huwa tajjeb jekk inti wara dik id-dehra) aktar milli biex tinkiseb id-dehra ta’ ħajt mibni strutturalment li jinbena/munzell minn ġebel blokk blokk. B'hekk kull biċċa taqbel mal-ħbub, il-forma u l-kulur tagħha.

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.

Meta l-kisi ta 'ġebla naturali ta' forma ħielsa fuq ħajt eżistenti xorta jeħtieġ li tidher bħallikieku nbnew minn blokki attwali, xorta jridu jidhru stabbli. Anke jekk fil-fatt huwa s-sottostrat fuq wara li jeħtieġ li jkun stabbli!

Jekk ma tarax id-differenza meta tħares lejn ħajt tal-blokk u ħajt miksi, allura ksibt il-ħajt prontezza coveted li se jiddubita lil xi ħadd li jispekula jekk il-ħajt huwiex miksi jew xogħol blokk.

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.

Jekk għandek it-truf isserrat, tista 'ċippa t-tarf ta' kull biċċa biex tagħti lill-ġebla tarf aktar naturali. Dan huwa fejn l-għarfien espert tal-ġebel tiegħek għandu verament juri.

Meta jsir kif suppost, ħajt organiku b'forma ħielsa jista 'joħloq karatteristika prontezza stordament għal ġewwa jew barra tiegħek. Madankollu bħal kull ħaġa fil-ħajja, jekk il-kantunieri jinqatgħu, prattikament m'hemm l-ebda punt li tgħaddi mill-proċess. Wieħed ikun aħjar b'għażliet oħra aktar prattiċi.

X'INHU KISI TAL-ĠEBEL XOTT?

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”. Huwa verament kollu dwar il-preferenza personali tiegħek.

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.

KIF GĦANDEK INSTALLA KISI TAL-ĠEBEL?

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.

Agħżel l-installatur it-tajjeb:

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.

Li tagħżel l-installatur it-tajjeb tista 'tagħmel dinja ta' differenza u Huwa importanti daqs il-kwalità tal-ġebla tiegħek.

Is-sottostrat tiegħek:

Kun żgur li l-pedament tiegħek huwa solidu u l-wiċċ tiegħek huwa lest għall-applikazzjoni. Għall-ġebel naturali, tista 'tibni s-sottostrat minn briks, konkos jew xogħol ta' blokki u skont l-għoli u d-daqs jista 'jkollok bżonn ukoll li l-ħajt tiegħek jiġi ffirmat minn inġinier.

Kun żgur li kwalunkwe ħmieġ jew debris Tneħħija mill-ħajt qabel ma twaħħal il-kisi tal-ġebel tiegħek, dan jippermetti adeżjoni massima.

L-Ordni tiegħek:

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.

Id-dettalji:

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.

Ladarba l-ħajt tiegħek ikun miksi tista' tispiċċa b'xi capping li jaqbel, dan joħloq dehra nadifa u iqarmeċ u verament ibiddel il-ħajt tiegħek f'karatteristika distinta.

Jekk jiġri li jkollok biss ħajt ta 'żamma qasir jew kaxxa tal-pjanter, jidher tajjeb ukoll li tuża l-biċċiet tal-kantunieri sħaħ għall-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.

Żomm f'moħħok li se tkun qed taġġusta l-biċċiet għad-daqs u tħallat u tqabbel il-biċċiet biex toħloq il-varjazzjoni naturali tiegħek stess, tassew hija bħall-arti u artist tajjeb dejjem ipprepara l-għodda tiegħu.

KIF JIĠI FISSAT IL-KISSI TAL-ĠEBEL FIL-POST?

Liema kolla tuża għall-kisi tal-ġebel?

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.

KIF TWAĦĦEL IL-KISI TAL-ĠEBEL?

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.
