What are the advantages of stone cladding?

Stone Cladding is a very popular cladding which gives a very natural and rustic look to the building. They include marble, granite, sandstone, slate. These materials are cut into slabs of uniform thickness so that the installation is very simple and easy.

Stone cladding is widely used in landscaped gardens and in the interiors to exude a feeling of warmth by highlighting some walls. Stone cladding acts as a very good heat insulating layer which reduces the carbon footprint of the building.

It acts as a neutral layer preventing any heat loss or heat gain in the building. This increases the energy efficiency and reduces the electric bills. It is an extremely durable material which lasts for a lifetime without losing its colour or lustre when exposed to direct sunlight. It helps in sound insulation by acting as a barrier between the external sounds and the sounds of the interiors.

Stone Cladding is a non-porous and non-absorbent material. It does not absorb as any moisture and protects the internal wall from water absorption. Care should be taken that the wall is dry and moisture is not trapped during installation. It is weather resistant.
