如何用石材覆蓋牆壁

第 1 步：如何用石頭覆蓋牆壁的概述

時間軸：

• 第一天： Prep the site and install the first course (Steps 2–10).
• 第二天： Finish and cap the wall (Steps 11–18).

第 2 步：測量牆壁

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.

第三步：粉刷底部以準備牆壁

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.

步驟 4：安裝入門條以準備第一道菜

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.

第 5 步：移除標籤

平板的每一側都有一個凸片，與相鄰平板上的槽嚙合，但需要從形成角的任何一端移除。將面板正面朝上放在工作檯面上，然後使用五合一工具的刀片敲掉拉片，如圖所示。由此產生的平坦邊緣將形成一個緊角。

第 6 步：標記面板

每次運行都從一個角落開始，通用角落的成品端與平板的端部重疊（已移除標籤）。首先，將萬向角切成兩塊；每件成品的邊緣都會開始一個過程，切割的邊緣對接成平板。為了美觀，切割通用角，使每塊至少 8 英寸長。或者，就像我們的例子一樣，將其切割以適合樓梯立板：在起始條的相鄰側放置一塊平板，然後將通用角倒置旋轉，將其成品邊緣對接樓梯立板，並劃出切割線， 如圖所示。

第7步：剪成一定長度

將標記的面板面朝下放置在工作檯面上，在切割線兩側的下方放置廢板。使用直尺沿著劃線的最窄點標記方形切割線。在圓鋸上安裝分段鑽石刀片，並沿著線切割，穿過混凝土和金屬釘條。請務必配戴安全眼鏡、防塵面罩和聽力保護裝置。

第 8 步：固定第一塊面板

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.

提示： 當您將鑽頭從導孔中退出時，請保持鑽頭旋轉以清除灰塵，從而使砌體螺絲能夠攻入混凝土中。

第 9 步：完成運行

繼續安裝全尺寸平板面板，逐步完成。當您接近終點時，測量並切割部分面板以填滿課程的終點。如果切割件兩側都有拉片，請使用五合一工具將其敲掉。將零件安裝到位，鑽導孔，然後將其旋入牆上。

第10步：安裝第二個角

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.

第 11 步：對齊相鄰面板

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.

第12步：錯開關節

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.

第 13 步：切割面板以適合頂部球場

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.

第14步：黏合碎片

拆下角板，並在每塊板的背面垂直塗上直珠狀的建築黏合劑，如圖所示，以便水可以自由流到板後面並正確排水。將面板安裝在牆上並調整它們以緊貼角落。

步驟15：沉入緊固件

為了進一步固定切割面板，請在每個面板上找到幾個點，您可以在這些點上將緊固件不顯眼地沉入石頭之間的接縫中。將部件固定到位，在面板上鑽一個導孔並進入牆壁。旋入磚石螺絲，將頭部沉入面板表面下方。用填縫料蓋住螺絲頭，收集切割台上的一些灰塵，然後將其吹到乾燥的填縫料上以偽裝它。您可以用同樣的方式修補任何間隙。在最後一道工序中完成面板的安裝。

第16步：切割頂點

選擇比覆層牆的深度寬幾英寸的頂石來形成懸挑。測量並標記頂石以適合沿著牆的頂部。使用圓鋸和分段鑽石鋸片進行切割，如圖所示。

第十七步：把石頭放在牆上

與夥伴一起抬起頂石並將其乾燥安裝在牆頂上。在重新安裝石材之前，將其拆除並在牆頂和飾面邊緣塗上建築膠；或者，如果您喜歡更真實的外觀，請將它們放在堅硬的砂漿床上。現在退後一步，驚嘆於無縫的外觀。
