TYPES
SOLID STONE CLADDING
• SOLID STONE SIDING IS ONE OF THE OLDEST TYPES OF
SIDING AVAILABLE
• IT OFFERS HIGH LEVEL OF PROTECTION AND ALMOST
NO MAINTENANCE IS REQUIRED.
• DUE TO BEING REAL STONE IT WILL NOT BE DAMAGED
FROM DIRECT SUNLIGHT AND SO IT WON’T PEEL OVER
TIME OR LOOSE ITS NATURAL COLOR.
• NATURAL STONE IS ALSO STRONG ENOUGH TO
PROTECT THE INTERIOR OF YOUR HOUSE FROM
NATURAL ELEMENTS. IN THIS WAY YOU CAN COMBINE
BEAUTY WITH PROPER PROTECTION.
TYPES
NATURAL STONE VENEER
• Similar to solid stone siding, natural stone cladding is made from
real stone processed through special diamond bladed saws to cut
off the outside layer.
• The natural stone cladding is not a full stone, but rather a slab of
stone that can be affixed to the side of an existing structure.
• This produces veneers with nominal thicknesses of 31-37 mm [1 1/4
to 1 1/2 inches] at an average weight of 50-75kg/sqm (depending
on stone selection).
