Having been out of fashion for a number of years, stone cladding is now firmly making a firm come back. We’re not talking old fashioned crazy-paving-type stone cladding, but rather modern day stone profiles being used to bring a touch of natural stone beauty to homes and properties.
Here are just some of the reasons to choose Natural Stone Cladding
– Appearance: As with any type of natural stone, the beauty of the material is in its appearance. Each stone is unique, with the colour and imperfections varying from tile to tile but add to its beauty. As stone cladding is often used as a focal point within a room, for example, surrounding a fireplace or as a feature wall, you shouldn’t compromise on its appearance as it will create character and a talking point.
– Durability: Many people think that if they are just choosing stone cladding, rather than stone flooring, for example, durability doesn’t matter. Apart from the aforementioned aspect of the stone being a feature within the room, and therefore quality being important to the overall look you’re trying to create, remember that natural stone is a very durable material which is more resistant to chipping and breaking. This is important, for example, if surrounding a fireplace, as the stone will often be touched or knelt upon when starting a fire or fuelling a wood burner.
– Diversity: Just as with normal stone tiles, one of the great aspects of natural stone cladding is the diversity of stone available. This means that you can pick a finish and style to suit the look you’re trying to achieve, which can be used both within the interior and exterior of your home to bring a natural, rustic appearance to a house.
