Would seem a pretty simple question right? And yes, it’s a pretty simple answer – cladding made from stone. However from the meetings I have with contractors and surveyors, I see it often gets over-complicated in designers’ minds and confused with traditional stone masonry.
Natural stone is one of the oldest materials used by man in construction. We only have to look at buildings such as the Taj Mahal completed in 1648 using white marble, or the Great Pyramid thought to have been completed in 2560BC made predominantly out of limestone to appreciate the longevity of stone as a material. (Imagine the architect specifying the Design Life for the Pyramid….)
د تاج محل له جوړولو راهیسې د ساختماني میتودونو په څرګند ډول بدلون موندلی، او د ساختماني صنعت په اوږدو کې د بیلابیلو سکتورونو او تجارتونو څخه مننه چې د کلونو په اوږدو کې د کراس ریفرنسنګ او شبکې کولو سره، موږ نور اړتیا نه لرو چې د یو بل په سر کې د ډبرو ډبرو ډبرې ودروو ترڅو ظاهري بڼه رامنځته کړي. د یوې قوي ډبرې ودانۍ څخه.
Traditional stone masonry (not something we do here at AlterEgo by the way), is loaded onto the building’s foundations and uses stones and mortar, tied back with wall-ties – think brickwork.
له بلې خوا د عصري ډبرو پوښل د ودانۍ له جوړښت څخه ځړول شوي، او د فلزي باران سکرین سیسټم په څیر په ورته ډول سره یوځای کیږي.
تاسو وګورئ، د ډبرې پوښل، a د باران سکرین پوښل سیسټم او باید ورته چلند وشي.
Looking through a cross section of a typical stone cladding build-up you’ll see lots of familiar components: spreader bars, helping-hand brackets, rails and T-bars. It’s only the facing material which is interchangeable.
There are a few nuances when working with natural stone for the first time, but nothing that a day’s training and our on-site support won’t cover.
So if you’re a contractor used to installing aluminium and steel cladding or you specialize in terracotta; don’t be afraid of stone! Check out this video showing the simplicity of our EGO-02S system EGO 02s INSTALLATION BETA – YouTube
کله چې د ملاتړ جوړښت ته د ډبرې پوښ کولو پینل فکس کولو خبره راځي ، د فکس کولو دوه اصلي میتودونه شتون لري:
With an undercut anchor system, typically used for larger format panels, holes are pre-drilled into the back of the stone, a sleeve and bolt inserted and fixed onto a hanging clasp and horizontal system. This method is good for natural stone panels with a thickness range from 30-50mm and can be used in both stack and stretcher bond layouts, typically in a portrait layout. Undercut anchors are always used in soffit situations.
لکه څنګه چې فکسونه ټول د پینل په شا کې دي، دا طریقه په بشپړه توګه پټه ده، هیڅ فکسونه نه لیدل کیږي.
The kerf method of fixing stone is where a continuous groove is cut in the top and bottom of the stone, and the stone simply sits on a rail or clasp at the bottom and restrained at the top. A kerf system works particularly well for horizontally laid panels in either stack or stretcher bond.
د نصب کولو سرعت او سادگي او د دې حقیقت سره یوځای کول چې پینلونه په غیر ترتیب سره نصب کیدی شي دا میتود ترټولو پراخه کارول شوي د ډبرو پوښښ سیسټم جوړوي.
د نصب کولو دواړه میتودونه معمولا خلاص ګډ دي، په هرصورت، د غیر مهاجرت سیلانټ سره اشاره کول کولی شي د دودیز معمارۍ ودانۍ بڼه ورکړي.
