Are you after a cladding material that performs well, will last a lifetime, and is completely unmatched in the beauty stakes? If so, you’ll find it incredibly difficult to go past stone cladding. Stone cladding is the perfect choice for your home’s exterior or interior and here are just some reasons why. For more information or advice, have a chat with your local cladding supplier.
Stone Cladding is Timeless and Elegant
Stone cladding is perennially popular as it is a truly timeless and elegant material that never goes out of fashion. You can choose from a range of natural stones such as granite, sandstone, limestone, marble and more each of which have their own unique, beautiful look. Despite its cost, stone cladding is highly desired as it gives a sophisticated look that simply cannot be matched by any other building or cladding material. Its exceptional beauty also means that stone cladding will help to increase the resale value of your home significantly whether you have used it inside or outside the home.
Stone Cladding is Durable and Fire Resistant
Another reason why you might want to consider using stone cladding on your home is the fact that it is incredibly durable. Once it is installed it will last for years – indeed, a lifetime – with very little maintenance. Stone cladding is actually one of those rare materials that improves over time! Stone cladding is also completely fire resistant and will not support a flame. This can be of great benefit to you if you live in a fire prone area or if you just want to make sure your home is as safe as it can be.

Stone Cladding is Good Insulation
In this age of rising electricity bills, people are naturally doing whatever they can to save some money. Ensuring that your home is well insulated is an excellent way to do so as insulation reduces both your heating and cooling bills significantly. Stone cladding is an excellent natural insulator and thus it can contribute significantly to a more stable interior home temperature. As well as being an excellent thermal insulator, stone cladding is also a very good acoustic insulator. This means that if it is installed on your home, it will help to block exterior noise such as traffic, the sound of passersby and so on. Your home will be quieter and more peaceful if you use natural stone.
Stone Cladding is Low Maintenance
Many people are too busy to spend a lot of time on home maintenance but they don’t want to have to call someone else in to do it either. Stone cladding is actually very low maintenance once it has been installed, so you can basically forget about it once it is up. The most that you have to do is to clean it occasionally or reseal it every few years in order to keep it in optimum condition.
