使用石材装饰美化您的家-石材装饰

Stone cladding is durable, attractive, and low maintenance. Here’s what you need to know about this stone alternative.

什么是石材覆层？

Stone cladding is also known as stacked stone or stone veneer. It can be made from actual stone or artificial, so-called engineered stone. It’s available in a wide variety of finishes that look like slate, brick, and many other stones. It’s a fast and affordable way to get the look of stone on a wall without the cost or time of a masonry installation.

石材饰面的好处

与其他建筑材料相比，石材覆层具有许多优势，在某些情况下，甚至比砖石结构更具优势。

• Lightness: Stone cladding is easier to carry and install than natural stone, and it places less pressure on the existing structure. It generally weighs considerably less than natural stone.

• Insulation: Stone cladding is weather-resistant and protective. It helps a building stay warm in winter and cool in summer. Reinforcing the cladding with a steel or aluminum framework, called a honeycomb, makes it able to resist earthquakes and high winds.

• Minimal maintenance: Like stone, stone cladding requires little upkeep to look good for many years.

• Ease of installation: Lightweight cladding is easier to install than stone. It doesn’t require the same heavy equipment that a masonry installation does. This doesn’t mean you can install it yourself, however. Hanging stone cladding requires experience and skill.

• Esthetics: Stone gives any building an elegant look. Cladding can look like quartz, granite, marble, or any natural stone. It also comes in a wide choice of colors. Because you can install it anywhere, stone cladding gives you endless ways to design with stone.

石材饰面是如何应用的？

底切锚栓

这是大型安装的常用方法。在底切锚固系统中，安装人员在石材背面钻孔，插入螺栓并水平固定包层。对于拱腹和较厚的面板来说，这是一种很好的方法。

割缝法

在这种方法中，安装人员在石材的顶部和底部切割凹槽。石材固定在覆层板底部的扣环上，顶部还有第二个扣环。这是一种快速、简单的安装方法，非常适合较小的安装和较薄的面板。

两种安装方法均采用开放式接缝设计。为了模仿真实石材的外观，安装人员使用砖石灌浆填补接缝之间的空隙。
