POLEPŠAJTE SVOJ DOM S KAMNITO OBLOGO-kamnite obloge

Stone cladding is durable, attractive, and low maintenance. Here’s what you need to know about this stone alternative.

KAJ JE KAMNITA OBLOGA?

Stone cladding is also known as stacked stone or stone veneer. It can be made from actual stone or artificial, so-called engineered stone. It’s available in a wide variety of finishes that look like slate, brick, and many other stones. It’s a fast and affordable way to get the look of stone on a wall without the cost or time of a masonry installation.

PREDNOSTI KAMNITE OBLOGE

Kamnite obloge imajo številne prednosti pred drugimi gradbenimi materiali in v nekaterih primerih tudi pred zidano kamnito gradnjo.

• Lightness: Stone cladding is easier to carry and install than natural stone, and it places less pressure on the existing structure. It generally weighs considerably less than natural stone.

• Insulation: Stone cladding is weather-resistant and protective. It helps a building stay warm in winter and cool in summer. Reinforcing the cladding with a steel or aluminum framework, called a honeycomb, makes it able to resist earthquakes and high winds.

• Minimal maintenance: Like stone, stone cladding requires little upkeep to look good for many years.

• Ease of installation: Lightweight cladding is easier to install than stone. It doesn’t require the same heavy equipment that a masonry installation does. This doesn’t mean you can install it yourself, however. Hanging stone cladding requires experience and skill.

• Esthetics: Stone gives any building an elegant look. Cladding can look like quartz, granite, marble, or any natural stone. It also comes in a wide choice of colors. Because you can install it anywhere, stone cladding gives you endless ways to design with stone.

KAKO SE NAMEŠČA KAMNITA OBLOGA?

Podrezana sidra

To je običajna metoda za velike instalacije. Pri spodreznem sidrnem sistemu monterji izvrtajo luknje v zadnji del kamna, vstavijo sornik in vodoravno pritrdijo oblogo. To je dobra metoda za podstavke in debelejše plošče.

Metoda Kerf

Pri tej metodi monterji izrežejo utore na vrhu in dnu kamna. Kamnita mesta na zaponki na dnu obloge z drugo zaponko na vrhu. To je hiter in enostaven način namestitve, ki je odličen za manjše instalacije in tanjše plošče.

Oba načina namestitve uporabljata zasnovo z odprtim spojem. Da posnemajo videz pravega kamna, monterji zamašijo razmake med fugami s fugirno maso.
