什麼是包層 如何為您的家選擇石材包層

在本文中，我們將了解創建完美牆壁的一些關鍵領域，以及為您提供今天在全國一些最令人驚嘆的房屋上看到的飾面的元素。

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.

什麼是覆層？

“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.

什麼是天然石材覆層？

石材覆層是應用於建築物或其他由石材以外的材料製成的結構的薄層石材。石材覆層附著在混凝土牆、磚砌體和建築物上，作為其原始建築設計的一部分。每塊石頭的背面都被鋸成平坦的表面，這樣可以將石頭固定在適當的基材上。

由於地點分散在世界各地，大多數國家都在其地下發現了某種形式的天然石材。

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.

有許多不同類型的天然石材，從花崗岩到石英岩，從石灰華到大理石，有適合任何人和每個人的包層品種。

什麼是自由形式覆層？

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.

我們的獨立牆面覆層石背面已鋸平，易於安裝，可粘貼到現有牆壁上，營造出自然而永恆的有機外觀。

由熟練的石匠安裝，與所用石材的品質以及石材的形狀和光潔度同樣重要的是安裝人員的工藝品質。

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

這不是他們必須遵循的模式，您需要使用特定的方法來鋪設每種類型的有機包層以獲得正確的外觀。我們在這裡試圖實現的是，您的結構的外觀是由幾個世紀前的實際塊手工建造的。

如果你把包層當作一幅抽象畫或某種圖案來放置，你就會把牆變成更多有圖案的石牆 （如果你喜歡那種外觀，那就沒問題了） 而不是實現由石匠一塊塊地建造/堆疊的結構牆的外觀。這樣，每件作品都適合其紋理、形狀和顏色。

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.

當將自由形狀的天然石材覆蓋到現有的牆壁上時，它仍然需要看起來像是由實際的塊建造的，它們仍然需要看起來穩定。儘管實際上是背面的基板需要穩定！

如果您在觀察砌塊牆和砌塊牆時沒有發現差異，那麼您就已經實現了令人垂涎的永恆牆，這將懷疑任何人猜測這堵牆是砌塊牆還是砌塊牆。

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.

如果您有鋸切的邊緣，您可以將每塊的邊緣切碎，以使石頭具有更自然的邊緣。這才是石匠專業知識真正該展現的地方。

如果做得正確，自由形狀的有機牆可以為您的室內或室外創造令人驚嘆的永恆特徵。然而，就像生活中的任何事情一樣，如果走捷徑，那麼完成這個過程實際上就沒有意義了。如果有其他更實用的選擇，情況會更好。

什麼是乾石覆層？

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”。這實際上完全取決於您的個人喜好。

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.

如果您不確定哪種適合您的家庭或項目，請致電我們並與我們聯繫，我們確信我們能為您量身定製完美的解決方案。

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 – 隨機方石，棋子由隨機的正方形和長方形組成。
