CHII CHINONZI 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.

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.

Nemhando dzakasiyana-siyana dzematombo echisikigo, kubva kugranite kusvika kuquartzite kubva kutravertine kusvika kumarble kune marudzi ekupfeka anoenderana nemunhu wese.

Chii chinonzi Cladding fomu yemahara?

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.

Nemusana wakachekwa wakafuratira kuti ugadzike nyore, matombo edu ega ega anonamirwa pamadziro aripo, achigadzira chitarisiko chechisikigo uye chisingaperi.

Yakaiswa neane hunyanzvi hwekugadzira matombo, zvakaenzana zvakakosha kune kunaka kwedombo rinoshandiswa pamwe nechimiro uye kupera kwedombo, imhando yehunyanzvi kubva kune yako yekuisa.

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

Haisi iyo pateni yavanofanira kutevedzera, kune dzakananga nzira dzaunoda kuisa imwe neimwe mhando ye organic cladding kuti uwane kutaridzika chaiko. Zvatiri kuyedza kuwana pano chitarisiko chekuti chimiro chako chakavakwa nemaoko kubva kumatombo chaiwo, mazana emakore apfuura.

Kana iwe ukaisa iyo yekupfekedza sekunge ndeye abstract pendi kana imwe mhando yepateni iwe unoshandura madziro kuita mamwe epatani dombo madziro. (izvo zvakanaka kana iwe uri shure kwekutarisa ikoko) pane kuzadzisa chitarisiko chemudhuri wakanyatsovakwa unovakwa / wakaturikidzwa nematombo ematombo nebhuroko. Nenzira iyi chidimbu chimwe nechimwe chinokodzera zviyo zvayo, chimiro uye ruvara.

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.

Kana uchipfekedza fomu remahara dombo pamadziro aripo zvinotoda kutaridzika sekunge zvakavakwa kubva kumatombo chaiwo, ivo vachiri kuda kuoneka vakatsiga. Kunyangwe iri chaizvo iyo substrate kumusana inoda kugadzikana!

Kana iwe usingaone mutsauko kana uchitarisa kumadziro evhavha uye madziro akavharwa, saka iwe wawana inoshuvira madziro ekusingaperi ayo anokahadzika chero munhu anofungidzira kana madziro akavharirwa kana kuvhara basa.

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.

Kana uine maeche echekwe, unogona kuchekerera kumucheto kwechidimbu chimwe nechimwe kuti upe dombo kumucheto kwakaringana. Apa ndipo panofanira kunyatso ratidza hunyanzvi hweako stonemason.

Kana yaitwa nemazvo, yemahara fomu organic wall inogona kugadzira inokatyamadza isingaperi chimiro kune yako yemukati kana kunze. Nekudaro sechinhu chero chipi zvacho muhupenyu, kana makona akachekwa, hapana kana chikonzero chekupfuura nekuita. Imwe ingave nani kune imwe, yakawanda inoshanda sarudzo.

CHII CHINONZI KUKATA MASWEWE?

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”. Ndizvo chaizvo zvose pamusoro pezvaunofarira iwe pachako.

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.

If you are planning to do a dry stack you must plan ahead to have the grout joints tight or you if you’d like to grout you should use packers to get consistent grout joints for each individual piece of stone.

Kana iwe usina chokwadi kuti ndechipi chinokodzera imba yako kana chirongwa tipe runhare uye utaure nesu, isu tine chokwadi chekuti tiri kukugadzirira iwe mhinduro yakakwana.

Besides the “Crazy” format stone cladding nowadays more architects and landscape designers are specifying the “Random Ashlar” pattern which is suited for more modern designs.

“Random Ashlar” is a random Geometric pattern – Random ashlar, zvidimbu zvinosanganisira masikweya asina kujairika uye rectangles.

Z-panels – “Z-panels” have a ‘Z’ shape which allows each stone panel to interlock with the next. These pre-made dry stack panels are the most cost-effective way to transform your wall to a dry stack look.

With a concrete backing Armstone’ Z shape panels which are also known as “Stone Panels” or “Ledgestones” as well as “Cultured stones” have chicken wire holding each individual piece of stone together on a concrete backing system for a functional and feasible install makes for a great product. We’ve seen many homes use this type of wall cladding and the results have been very pleasing.

Stacked Stones – Stacked stones are a more linear approach to wall cladding. With ready to use stone veneers holding together small individual bits of stone which are stacked to together with glue, it’s very simple to clad any suitable structure.

Each stone is stacked and glued onto the panel which helps gives your wall or structure a natural 3D appearance. If you’re looking for an easy way to add appeal to your internal and external walls or structures, this option is for you.

NZIRA YEKUGADZIRA STONE CLADDING?

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.

Sarudza iyo yakakodzera installer:

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.

Kutora iyo yekumisikidza kwayo kunogona kuita mutsauko wepasirese uye Yakakosha zvakaenzana semhando yedombo rako.

Substrate yako:

Ita shuwa kuti chero tsvina kana marara Inobviswa pamadziro usati wanamatira dombo rako, izvi zvinobvumidza kunamatira kwakanyanya.

Order yako:

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.

The Details:

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.

Kana madziro ako akavharwa iwe unogona kuupedzisa nekapeti inofananidzira, izvi zvinogadzira kutaridzika kwakachena, kwakapfava uye kunyatso shandura madziro ako kuita chinhu chakasiyana.

Kana iwe uchingove uine kapfupi madziro ekuchengetedza kana bhokisi rekudyara rinotaridzika zvakanaka kushandisa zvizere makona zvidimbu zvecapping.

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.

KUPAKA MATOWE KUNOGADZIRWA SEI PANZVIMBO?

Ndeipi adhesive yekushandisa pakugadzira matombo?

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.

Uyezve, Granirapid inokurumidza kumisikidza glue iyo inobvumidza iwe kunamatira zvimedu zvemadziro ako nekukurumidza uye kufamba kuburikidza nechishandiso chako nekukurumidza sezvo usingazode kupedza nguva uchiwedzera rutsigiro kune zvidimbu zvematombo zvinoda nguva yekunamatira neanogara achinamira.

Particularly suitable for the installation of stone material that is moderately unstable to moisture and requires a rapid drying of the adhesive. Suitable for bonding floors subject to heavy traffic.”

SEI KUBATA STONE CLADDING?

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.
