Cladding Walls: Efficiency & Beauty Combined

We all love our homes, and part of what makes them special to us are the little personal touches we add over time. The trees and flowers in the garden, the colours chose for the interior and exterior, the window dressings, all these details add to a big picture that is individual.

If you are looking for a way to make your home feels more you, stone cladding walls may be an option for you.

Timeless and Elegant

Stone cladding walls never go out of fashion. You can choose from a range of natural stone cladding such as limestone, granite, sandstone, and more, and each of these options will have their own beautiful, unique look. Stone cladding walls are quite popular as these provide a sophisticated look to a room that simply can’t be matched by other materials.

Durable and Fire Resistant

The durability of stone cladding may be another reason to want it on your walls. Once installed, the stone cladding can last for years (even a lifetime) with very little maintenance. Actually, stone cladding is one of the rare materials that improve over time. This material is also 100% fire resistant and does not support a flame.

Better Insulation

Due to the higher prices of electricity bills, people are trying whatever they can to save some money. Ensuring that your home is well insulated is an efficient way to reduce heating and cooling expenses. Some stone cladding materials are excellent insulators and can significantly contribute to a more stable interior home temperature. An insulated home also means a quieter home, as it helps block exterior noise, such as those from traffic, passersby, etc.

Easy to Maintain

Modern life is living people with very little time to spend on home maintenance, and many don’t want to have to hire someone else to perform it either. Once it is been installed, stone cladding is very easy to maintain. Basically, all that you will have to do is clean your walls occasionally or maybe reseal them every few years to keep them in optimum condition.

Convenient

Many modern homes don’t have structures strong enough to support the weight of real stone. Stone cladding, on the other hand, weight much less and can be applied up to 3m in height without the need of wall ties.

Cost Effective

Covering your walls with full-sized stone pieces can be a quite expensive project. Stone cladding costs far less but can deliver the exact same look – a win-win combination. Installation is also less expensive and can be carried out using basic tools and skills.
