如何为您的家选择石材覆盖层-石材覆盖层

在本文中，我们将介绍打造完美墙面的一些关键领域，以及打造出如今全国各地一些最令人惊叹的房屋所见装饰效果的各个元素。

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.

什么是包层？

“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.

什么是天然石材覆层？

石材覆层是应用于建筑物或其他由石材以外的材料制成的结构的薄层石材。石材覆层粘附在混凝土墙、砖砌体和建筑物上，作为其原始建筑设计的一部分。每块石材的背面都锯成平整的表面，这样可以将石材固定在适当的基材上。

天然石材遍布世界各地，大多数国家都拥有某种形式的地下资源。

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.

天然石材的种类繁多，从花岗岩到石英岩，从石灰华到大理石，有各种适合任何人的包层类型。

什么是自由形式包层？

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.

我们的单个墙面覆层石材背面已锯平，方便安装，可粘贴到现有墙壁上，营造自然、永恒的有机外观。

由熟练的石匠进行安装，所用石材的质量以及石材的形状和表面处理与安装人员的工艺质量同样重要。

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

他们不必遵循任何模式，您需要以特定方式铺设每种类型的有机包层才能获得正确的外观。我们在这里试图实现的是让您的建筑看起来就像几个世纪前用真正的砖块手工建造的一样。

如果你把墙面装饰成抽象画或某种图案，那么墙就会变成更有图案的石墙 （如果你喜欢这种外观那就没问题） 而不是像由石匠一块一块地建造/堆叠的结构墙那样。这样，每一块砖都符合其纹理、形状和颜色。

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.

当将自由形状的天然石材覆盖到现有墙壁上时，它仍然需要看起来像是用实际的块建造的，它们仍然需要显得稳定。即使它实际上是背面的基材需要稳定！

如果您在观察砌块墙和覆层墙时没有发现区别，那么您就拥有了梦寐以求的永恒之墙，任何人再猜测该墙是覆层墙还是砌块墙时都不会产生任何疑问。

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.

如果您有锯边，您可以削去每块石头的边缘，使石头的边缘更自然。这是您石匠的专业知识真正体现的地方。

如果做得正确，自由形式的有机墙可以为您的室内或室外创造令人惊叹的永恒特色。然而，就像生活中的任何事情一样，如果偷工减料，那么完成这个过程几乎没有意义。最好选择其他更实用的选择。

什么是干石覆层？

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”。这完全取决于您的个人喜好。

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.

如果您不确定哪种产品适合您的家庭或项目，请致电我们，我们一定会为您量身定制完美的解决方案。

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 – 随意方石，碎片由随机的正方形和长方形组成。

 

 石板和堆叠的石头。

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.

Z 面板在安装方面介于两者之间，与自由形状包层相比，安装起来更容易。有易于使用的尺寸，您可以快速将它们粘到合适的基材上。我们亲自携带匹配的角件和匹配的封盖，为您的家提供完美的装饰。

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.

堆叠石板的尺寸为 600x150mm，重量轻，非常方便。它们可以像瓷砖一样轻松粘贴到墙上。

 

 

哪种包层适合您？

由于您有如此多的选择，在确定材料之前，需要考虑和考虑一些因素。

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

• 1. 包层是否主要面向太阳，还是处于阴凉处，容易发霉？
• 2. 上面会直接有水吗？它会被用作盐水池的特色墙吗？
• 3. 它是用于壁炉吗？是在室内吗？会产生很多热量吗？
• 4. 你能在石膏墙上安装包层吗？
• 5. 墙有多高？需要机械固定吗？
• 6. 如果用于桥墩或柱子，请咨询我们以了解哪种尺寸和格式最适合您的特定柱子尺寸。
• 7.是给你家的刀锋墙用的吗？

合适的包层应该与您的空间、周围环境和预算相匹配。

如何安装石材饰面？

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.

选择正确的安装程序：

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.

选择合适的安装程序会产生很大的不同，并且与石材的质量同样重要。

您的基质：

确保地基牢固，表面已准备好施工。对于天然石材，您可以用砖块、混凝土或砌块建造基底，并且根据高度和尺寸，您可能还需要让工程师签署墙壁的验收文件。

在粘贴石材覆层之前，请确保清除墙壁上的所有污垢或碎片，这将实现最大程度的粘合。

你的订单：

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.

细节：

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.

一旦您的墙壁被覆盖，您就可以用一些匹配的封盖来完成它，这将创造出一种干净，清爽的外观，并真正将您的墙壁变成一个独特的特色。

如果您恰好只有一堵短挡土墙或一个花箱，那么使用完整的角件进行封盖也是很好看的。

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.

请记住，您将调整碎片的大小并混合和匹配碎片以创建您自己的自然变化，这真的就像艺术一样，一个好的艺术家总是准备好他的工具。

石材覆层是如何固定到位的？

石材贴面使用什么胶粘剂？

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.

此外，Granirapid 是一种速凝胶，可以让您快速粘合墙壁各部分，并更快地完成应用，因为您不需要花时间为需要时间用普通粘合剂粘合的石块添加支撑。

“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.”

如何粘贴石材饰面？

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.

使用垫块保持每块石头之间的间隙一致。您可以使用塑料垫块或由木块制成的垫块。

安装完每个部件后，请确保将这个区域保留 24 小时不动。
