什么是包层 如何为您的家选择石材包层

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。
