Kodi Flagstone N'chiyani? -Kuvala mwala

Kodi Flagstone N'chiyani?

So, let’s answer the most basic question - what is flagstone?

Let’s start with what flagstone is made of. Flagstone is a generic term used to encompass all sedimentary and metamorphic rock that’s split into layers. These rocks are naturally split along the lineation planes of the stones. Encompassing a range of different sedimentary rocks, this term is used to describe the different types of a stone laid as “flags” in patterns.

Mtundu uliwonse wa mwala wamtundu uli ndi mawonekedwe ake, koma pali mitundu ina yotchuka, kuphatikiza miyala yabuluu, miyala yamchere, ndi mchenga. Ndipo ndi mitundu yosiyanasiyana yotereyi, palinso ntchito zambiri zamtundu uwu wa miyala.

Miyala ya mbendera ikugwiritsidwa ntchito m'njira zambiri, kuphatikizapo:

• Kumanga denga
• Pansi
• Njira zoyendamo  
• Zoyaka moto
• Masitepe
• Mabwalo
• Nyumba.  

Kuwonjezera apo, ndi mitundu yosiyanasiyana, kuchokera ku buluu mpaka kufiira, bulauni, ndi zosiyana zosiyana, mwini nyumba aliyense akhoza kupeza zomwe akufuna. Ndipo kuti zonse zitheke, miyala yamtengo wapatali imamangidwa kuti ikhale yosatha, yopereka zaka pafupifupi 50 zolimba ndi kupirira nyengo yotentha, kuzizira, ndi mvula.

Mitundu ya Flagstone

Pali mitundu yambiri ya miyala yamwala yomwe ilipo masiku ano. Iliyonse ili ndi mawonekedwe osiyanasiyana, komanso maubwino ndi malingaliro osiyanasiyana, tikuphwanya mtundu uliwonse wamiyala yapamwamba kuti ikuthandizeni kusaka kwanu. Tiyeni tilowe mkati!

1. Mwala

Slate is one of the most commonly known types of flagstones available. This stone is a metamorphic rock that’s layered with clay-like minerals. Slate nthawi zambiri imakhala yofewa kuposa miyala ina, monga mchenga kapena quartzite, ndipo imakhala yopyapyala kwambiri.

    Pali zinthu zingapo zomwe muyenera kuziganizira mukamayang'ana mitundu yosiyanasiyana ya miyala yamwala ndi mitundu ndikusankha komwe mungagwiritse ntchito zinthu zokongolazi pamapangidwe anu. 

    Musanayambe kudzipereka ku flagstone, onetsetsani kuti:

    • Sankhani mwala womwe umabwera mosiyanasiyana, makulidwe, ndi makulidwe osiyanasiyana kuti mugwirizane ndi kapangidwe kanu. 
    • Pewani mwala wonyezimira wonyezimira, chifukwa umakonda kutaya kuwala kwake pakatha zaka zambiri. 
    • Kumbukirani kuti mwala wonyezimira nthawi zambiri umakhala wofewa kuposa mawu osalankhula, ofanana.

    Kodi Flagstone Imawononga Chiyani?

    Chabwino, mukudziwa yankho la mtundu wanji womwe flagstone imabwera ndi mtundu wanji wa mwala womwe ndi mbendera, koma tsopano funso lenileni - ndalama zonsezi zimawononga ndalama zingati?

    With a range of flagstone types and colors, the price can vary based on the stone you choose. But is flagstone expensive? It’s not the cheapest material. Oftentimes, flagstone costs $2 to $6 per square foot, just for the stone itself. However, with labor, you will pay closer to $15 to $22 per square foot. Keep in mind, that thicker stones or rarer colors will fall on the higher end of that spectrum.
