ČASOVNICA:
To calculate the number of universal corners to order, measure the height in inches of each outside wall corner, as shown, divide by 16, and round up to the nearest whole number. You’ll fill the area between the corners with flat panels. To calculate how many you’ll need, multiply the wall’s width by its height in feet and divide the resulting area by 2 (each panel covers 2 square feet). Subtract the number of universal corners from the result, then add 10 percent to your order of flat panels. Add one universal corner to be safe.
The panels must be installed above ground level, resting on a plastic support called a starter strip, so you’ll want to paint the wall below the strip to match the stone. Find a spray-paint color similar to the palette of your stone panels and paint the bottom few inches of the wall.
Set the location for the starter strip, at least 2 inches above any soil. Here, the strip’s lip aligns with the top of a stair on the adjacent side of the corner. Fit your drill/driver with a 3/16-inch masonry bit and drill a pilot hole through a slot in the strip near the corner and into the wall. Drive in a masonry screw to secure that end, then use the 4-foot level to bring the strip to level, and mark a line, as shown. Drill pilot holes and fasten the strip in two or three more spots, maintaining level.
Ploščate plošče imajo na vsaki strani jeziček, ki se povezuje z režami na sosednjih ravnih ploščah, vendar jih je treba odstraniti s katerega koli konca, ki tvori vogal. Ploščo obrnite navzgor na delovno površino in z rezilom orodja 5 v 1 odbijte jeziček, kot je prikazano. Nastali ravni rob bo naredil tesen kot.
Vsaka serija se začne v vogalu, pri čemer končni konec univerzalnega vogala prekriva konec ploščate plošče (z odstranjenim jezičkom). Najprej je univerzalni vogal razrezan na dva dela; končni rob vsakega kosa začne pot, odrezani rob pa se zatakne v ravno ploščo. Zaradi estetike odrežite univerzalni vogal tako, da je vsak kos dolg vsaj 8 centimetrov. Ali pa ga, kot v našem primeru, odrežite tako, da se prilega stopnišču: naslonite ravno ploščo na sosednjo stran v začetni trak, nato zavrtite univerzalni vogal na glavo, njegov končni rob potisnite ob stopnišče in zarežite rez. , kot je prikazano.
Označeno ploščo položite z licem navzdol na delovno površino z odpadnimi deskami pod njo na obeh straneh reza. Z ravnilom označite pravokotno izrez vzdolž najožje točke začrtane črte. Namestite krožno žago s segmentiranim diamantnim rezilom in odrežite vzdolž črte, tako da greste skozi beton in kovinski trak za žeblje. Nosite zaščitna očala, masko za prah in zaščito za sluh.
Hold the cut universal corner against the wall, bringing its finished end flush with the face of the adjacent flat panel so that the two pieces form a 90° outside corner. Level the universal corner, and drill pilot holes through the nailing strip, as shown, directly through the metal if necessary, in at least two places. Fasten the panel with 1¼-inch self-tapping masonry screws.
Nasvet: Sveder naj se vrti, da odstranite prah, medtem ko vrtate nazaj iz vodilne luknje, tako da se zidarski vijak zatakne v beton.
Nadaljujte z nameščanjem ravnih plošč v polni velikosti in se spuščajte. Ko ste blizu konca, izmerite in odrežite delno ploščo, da zapolnite konec proge. Če ima odrezan kos jeziček na obeh straneh, uporabite orodje 5 v 1, da ga odbijete. Namestite kos na svoje mesto, izvrtajte vodilne luknje in ga privijte na steno.
Use the cut half of the universal corner from the first course, positioned on the opposite side of the corner to stagger the joints. Slip the tongue on its bottom edge into the groove on top of the flat panel beneath. Position a flat panel, with its tab removed, atop the universal corner in the first course. Be sure it’s cut to a different length than the piece beneath, to offset the joints across the wall. Mark and drill pilot holes for the universal corner, secure it, and install the adjacent flat panel to complete the corner.
Work along the course, brushing out debris from the top groove to ensure that the panels fit together snugly. As you set each new panel, make sure that it’s aligned with the previous panel by nestling a ¼-inch metal rod in the groove along the top edge. The rod should lie flat and bridge the grooves in adjacent panels. If it doesn’t, use the 5-in-1 tool to shim the panel up, or back several screws out of the previous panel and adjust it. When the panels align, drill pilot holes and fasten them to the wall.
If the end of a panel falls in line with a joint on any of the previous courses, you’ll want to cut down its length slightly to maintain staggered joints. Hold the panel in place and mark the nailing strip at a different length. Transfer the mark to the back of the panel, cut it to size, and fasten it to the wall.
On the final course, you’ll need to cut down the height of the panels to fit, removing the nailing strip so that the stone reaches to the top of the wall. Rest a flat panel in place and scribe a cutline on the back at the height of the wall. Set the panel on a work surface, and use the circular saw to cut it to the proper height. You may want to cut your corner pieces to length first, then cut them to the proper height, as shown. Dry-fit the two pieces at the corner to check the fit.
Odstranite kotne plošče in na hrbtno stran vsakega kosa nanesite ravne kroglice gradbenega lepila v navpičnih poteh, kot je prikazano, tako da lahko voda prosto teče za ploščami in pravilno odteka. Postavite plošče na steno in jih prilagodite tako, da se bodo tesno prilegale vogalu.
Za dodatno pritrditev odrezanih plošč poiščite več mest na vsaki, kjer lahko neopazno potopite pritrdilni element v spoje med kamni. Kos držite na mestu, izvrtajte vodilno luknjo skozi ploščo in v steno. Zavijte zidarski vijak, tako da glavo potopite pod površino plošče. Glave vijakov pokrijte s tesnilno maso, poberite nekaj prahu z rezalne mize in ga odpihnite na sušilno tesnilno maso, da jo zakamuflirate. Na enak način lahko popravite vse vrzeli. Montažo plošč zaključite v končni fazi.
Izberite zaključni kamen, ki je nekaj centimetrov širši od globine vaše obložene stene, da ustvarite previs. Izmerite in označite zaključne kamne, da se prilegajo vrhu stene. Uporabite krožno žago in segmentirano diamantno rezilo za rezanje na želeno dolžino, kot je prikazano.
V sodelovanju s partnerjem dvignite zaključne kamne in jih na suho pritrdite na vrh stene. Odstranite jih in nanesite gradbeno lepilo na vrh stene in robove furnirja, preden ponastavite kamne; ali, če imate raje še bolj pristen videz, jih položite v trdno malto. Zdaj stopite korak nazaj in se čudite brezhibnemu videzu.
