Stonework & Stone Cladding Contractors

There are many different types of stone used in construction, either as part of the structure or as a decorative finish such as stone cladding. Each type has different properties that can make it suitable for particular applications, including floors, walls, worktops, tiles and external surfaces.

Slate is a fine-grained metamorphic rock commonly used for roofing, flooring and wall tiles. Limestone is available in different colours, densities and finishes and can be used for flooring, wall tiles and other internal and external applications. Travertine is a type of limestone with a distinctive porous appearance and is commonly cut into tiles.

Marble is often used for decorative flooring, walls, bathrooms and worktops, although some varieties can be susceptible to staining and scratching. Granite is a hard natural stone commonly used for worktops and flooring, particularly in areas with heavy foot traffic. Sandstone is a sedimentary rock available in a range of colours and textures and is frequently used for paving, flooring, walls and external stonework.

Stone Cladding

Stone cladding can create the appearance of a natural stone wall without constructing the entire structure from full-sized pieces of stone. Thin sections of natural or manufactured stone are attached to a suitable surface to create the required finish. Different products can replicate or use materials such as sandstone, limestone, slate and other natural stones.

Stone cladding can be used both externally and internally, including for feature walls and fireplace surrounds. The weight, fixing method and suitability of the existing structure should be considered before installation, particularly when heavier natural stone products are being used.

Natural stone veneer can provide the appearance and texture of genuine stone, while manufactured stone-effect cladding can provide a similar appearance using alternative materials. Costs, weight, maintenance and installation requirements vary between products.

Stone Cladding Installation Cost

The cost of installing stone cladding will depend on the type of material, the size of the area, the condition of the existing surface and the complexity of the installation. Natural stone products can cost more than manufactured alternatives, particularly when covering large external areas.

For larger or more complex installations, you may want to hire a stonework or stone cladding contractor to carry out the work.
