SIDEE LOO DOORAN KARO DHAGAXA DHAGAX AH EE GURIGAAGA DHAGAX AH

Maqaalkan, waxaan ku eegi doonaa qaar ka mid ah meelaha muhiimka ah ee abuurista darbigaaga qumman iyo walxaha isu keena si ay kuu siiyaan dhammaystirka aad maanta ku aragto qaar ka mid ah guryaha ugu yaabka badan ee dalka oo dhan.

We’ll take a look at what natural stone cladding is, what types are available to you, which would work best for you and ultimately a guideline on how to install your cladding.

WAA MAXAY SHARCIGA?

“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.

WAA MAXAY DHAGAX DABIICIGA AH?

Xiritaanka dhagaxa waa lakab dhuuban oo dhagax ah oo lagu dhejiyo dhismo ama dhismo kale oo ka samaysan walxo aan dhagax ahayn. Xiritaanka dhagxaanku waxay ku dheggan yihiin gidaar shub ah, leben iyo dhismayaal taas oo qayb ka ah qaabdhismeedkoodii asalka ahaa. Dhabarka gabal kasta oo dhagax ah ayaa lagu jeexjeexay si siman, kaas oo u oggolaanaya in dhagaxyada lagu hagaajiyo substrates ku habboon.

Iyada oo meelo ku kala firirsan adduunka oo dhan, waddamada intooda badani waxay leeyihiin nooc ka mid ah dhagaxa dabiiciga ah oo laga helo hoostooda.

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.

Iyada oo leh noocyo badan oo kala duwan oo dhagaxyo dabiici ah, oo u dhexeeya granite ilaa quartzite laga bilaabo travertine ilaa marmar, waxaa jira noocyo dhejis ah oo ku habboon qof kasta iyo qof kasta.

Waa maxay Cladding foomka bilaashka ah?

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.

Iyada oo dhabarka lagu jeexjeexay fidsan si fudud loo rakibo, dhagaxyadayada derbiga ah ee shakhsi ahaaneed ayaa lagu dhejiyaa derbi jira, abuurista muuqaal dabiici ah oo dabiici ah oo aan waqti lahayn.

Ku rakibay mason-dhagax xirfad leh, oo la mid ah sida muhiimka u ah tayada dhagaxa loo isticmaalo iyo sidoo kale qaabka iyo dhamaystirka dhagaxa, waa tayada farsamada gacanta rakibahaaga.

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

Ma aha qaab ay tahay inay raacaan, waxaa jira siyaabo gaar ah oo aad u baahan tahay inaad ku dhejiso nooc kasta oo ka mid ah dharka dabiiciga ah si aad u hesho muuqaal sax ah. Waxa aan isku dayeyno inaan ku gaarno halkan waa muuqaalka qaab-dhismeedkaaga oo laga soo dhisay baloogyo dhab ah, qarniyo ka hor.

Haddi aad dahaarka u dhigto sidii rinjiyeyn aan la taaban karin ama nooc ka mid ah waxa aad gidaarka u rogi doontaa darbi dhagax ah oo qaabaysan. (waa ku fiican tahay haddii aad fiirineyso) halkii laga gaadhi lahaa muuqaalka darbi dhismeed oo la dhisay/ku-dul-saaran dhagax-dhagax-dhagax. Sidan ayaa gabal kastaa ku habboon yahay miraha, qaabkeeda iyo midabkeeda.

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.

Marka lagu dhejiyo dhagax dabiici ah oo bilaash ah derbi jira waxay weli u baahan tahay inay u ekaato sidii iyaga oo laga dhisay baloogyada dhabta ah, waxay weli u baahan yihiin inay u muuqdaan kuwo deggan. Inkasta oo ay dhab ahaantii tahay substrate-ka dhabarka kaas oo u baahan inuu xasillo!

Haddii aad aragto farqiga u dhexeeya marka aad eegto gidaar baloog ah iyo gidaar isku xidhan, waxa aad gaadhay gidaarkii la jeclaystay ee aan wakhtiga lahayn kaas oo shaki gelinaya qofkasta oo qiyaasi doona in uu gidaarku xidhan yahay ama uu shaqada xannibayo.

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.

Haddii aad leedahay cidhifyada miinshaar, waxaad jajabin kartaa cidhifka gabal kasta si aad u siiso dhagaxa gees dabiici ah oo dheeraad ah. Tani waa meesha ay tahay in khibradda dhagxaantaagu ay runtii muujiso.

Marka si sax ah loo sameeyo, qaab bilaash ah gidaarka dabiiciga ah wuxuu abuuri karaa muuqaal cajiib ah oo aan waqti lahayn gudahaaga ama dibaddaba. Si kastaba ha ahaatee sida wax kasta oo nolosha ah, haddii geesaha la gooyo, dhab ahaantii ma jirto wax faa'iido ah oo loo maro habka. Mid ka mid ah ayaa ku fiicnaan lahayd mid kale, doorashooyin la taaban karo.

WAA MAXAY DHAGAX QARAN?

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”. Runtii waxay ku saabsan tahay dookhaga gaarka ah.

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.

Haddii aadan hubin midka ku habboon gurigaaga ama mashruucaaga na soo wac oo nala hadasho, waxaan hubnaa inaan ku hagaajineyno xalka ugu fiican.

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, qaybo ka kooban afar geesood iyo leydi random.

 

 GALOOYINKA DHAGAX IYO DHAGAX TUUL AH.

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.

Qalabka Z waxaa loo tixgeliyaa inta u dhaxaysa marka ay timaado rakibidda wayna fududahay in la rakibo marka la barbardhigo foomamka daboolka bilaashka ah. Lagu heli karo si fudud oo loogu shaqeeyo cabbirro, waxaad si dhakhso ah kuwan ugu dhejin kartaa substrate-kaaga habboon. Shakhsi ahaan waxaanu sidnaa qaybo gees ah oo isbarbar socda iyo koofiyad iswaafajinaysa si aan u siino dhamaystir fiican oo gurigaaga ah.

With a number of options available such as Micha Quartz, Toad Limestone and Natural colours as Rustic Granite – there is something to suit any home.

 

 

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.

Made from premium natural stone and a combination of durability and strength the range of options in this format are endless. It’s important to choose the right one that brings out the best in your home.

Dabaqyada dhagxaanta ee is dul saaran ayaa lagu heli karaa cabbir ku habboon oo ah 600x150mm waana khafiif. Si fudud ayaa loogu dhejin karaa darbigaaga, oo la mid ah tiirarka.

 

 

Daboolkee adiga kugu habboon?

Iyada oo xulashooyin badan oo aad ka heli karto caarada farahaaga, waxaa jira arrimo aad tixgeliso oo aad tixgeliso ka hor inta aanad xirin alaabtaada.

It’s wise to consider where the wall cladding will be going?

• 1. Dahaarku ma u jeedaan inta badan qoraxda mise hadh bay ku hoos jiraan oo ma ka soo bixi karaa?
• 2. Biyo toos ah ma ku yeelan doontaa, ma loo isticmaali lahaa gidaar sifo ah barkadda biyaha milixda ah?
• 3. Ma loogu talagalay meesha dabka lagu shido, ma gudaha ayey ku jirtaa oo ma kuleyl badan baa ka heshaa?
• 4. Ma ku rakibi kartaa dahaadh gidaarka malaasta ah?
• 5. Intee in le'eg yahay darbiga? Ma u baahan lahayd hagaajin farsamo?
• 6. Haddii ay tahay tiirarka ama tiirarka, fadlan nala tasho si aad u ogaato cabbirka iyo qaabka sida ugu fiican ugu shaqeyn doona cabbirkaaga gaarka ah.
• 7. Ma loogu talagalay gidaarka daabka gurigaaga?

Dharka saxda ah waa inuu buuxiyaa booskaaga, agagaarkaaga iyo miisaaniyadaada.

SIDEE LOO RAACAA DHAGAXAN?

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.

Dooro rakibaha saxda ah:

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.

Xulashada rakibaha saxda ah waxay samayn kartaa adduunyo kala duwan waxayna la mid tahay muhiimada tayada dhagaxaaga.

Substrate-kaaga:

Hubi in aasaaskaagu uu adag yahay oogadaaduna ay diyaar u tahay codsi. Dhagaxa dabiiciga ah, waxaad ka dhisi kartaa substrate-ka leben, shubka ama shaqada xannibaadda waxayna ku xiran tahay dhererka iyo cabbirka waxaad sidoo kale u baahan kartaa in derbigaaga uu saxeexo injineer.

Hubi in wixii wasakh ah ama wasakh ah laga soo saaray gidaarka ka hor inta aanad ku dhegin xayndaabkaaga dhagaxa ah, tani waxay kuu ogolaanaysaa xabagta ugu badan.

Dalabkaaga:

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.

Faahfaahinta:

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.

Marka darbigaaga la xidho, waxaad ku dhammayn kartaa koofiyado is-waafaqaya, tani waxay abuurtaa muuqaal nadiif ah oo qallafsan oo runtii gidaarkaada u beddelaya sifo gaar ah.

Haddii ay dhacdo in aad leedahay gidaar gaaban oo gaaban ama sanduuqa dhirta waxa kale oo ay u muuqataa mid aad u fiican inaad u isticmaasho qaybaha geesaha buuxa ee daboolka.

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.

Maskaxda ku hay in aad isku hagaajin doonto qaybaha cabbirka iyo isku dhafka iyo isku dhejinta qaybaha si aad u abuurto kala duwanaansho dabiici ah, run ahaantii waxay la mid tahay farshaxanka iyo farshaxanka wanaagsan mar walba wuxuu diyaariyaa qalabkiisa.

SIDEE DHAGAXA DHAGAXA LOOGU GOOSAA?

Waa maxay xabagta loo isticmaalo dhejinta dhagaxa?

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.

Intaa waxaa dheer, Granirapid waa xabag deg deg ah oo deg deg ah kaas oo kuu oggolaanaya inaad si dhakhso leh ugu dhejiso qaybaha derbigaaga oo aad si dhaqso leh ugu gudubto codsigaaga maadaama aadan u baahnayn inaad waqti ku qaadato inaad ku darto taageerada qaybo dhagax ah oo u baahan waqti aad ku dhejiso dhejisyada caadiga ah.

 

Dhagax-dhagaxa qulqulka Biyaha Jaallaha ah ee Isha

 

 

“Granirapid is a High performance, deformable, fast setting and hydration two-component cementitious adhesive for ceramic tiles and stone material.

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.”

SIDEE LOOGU DHEX DHIGAA DHAGAXAN?

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.

Isticmaal xirmooyinka si aad u ilaaliso farqiga u dhexeeya gabal kasta oo dhagax ah. Waxaad isticmaali kartaa bacaha ama baakadaha ka samaysan alwaaxyo.

Hubi in aad ka tagto aagga iyada oo aan la taaban 24 saacadood oo dheeraad ah marka aad dhammayso rakibidda qayb kasta.
