With the cement backing, these premium panels are heavier, so we’ve thoughtfully added hooks to facilitate installation. You can screw the panels to the wall first, then use a cement and adhesive mix to secure them in place, ensuring even greater stability.

We Recommend High Performance Adhesives for Stone Cladding Installation

Can stone cladding be used outside in the UK and on what surfaces?

Yes, stone cladding systems such as back mesh and cement-backed panels are suitable for outdoor use in the UK when installed correctly. For long-term durability in typical British weather conditions, cladding should be fixed onto a stable and well-prepared substrate such as concrete, brickwork, cement render or tile backer boards. These surfaces provide the necessary strength and stability to support the weight of natural stone and ensure a reliable installation.

What adhesive should be used for stone cladding installation?

A high-quality flexible tile adhesive rated S1 or above should be used to ensure proper bonding and long-term performance. Products such as Kerakoll H40 Gel are commonly selected due to their proven reliability and wide availability across UK builders’ merchants. We recommend using High Performance Adhesives for Stone Cladding Installation to achieve the best results.

Do I need to seal stone cladding and how much extra should I order?

Sealing is not generally required and is often avoided as it can slightly darken the stone. However, if sealing is preferred, a breathable impregnating sealer that does not alter the colour is recommended, particularly for areas exposed to higher moisture levels. When ordering, it is standard practice to allow at least 10% extra material for cuts and wastage, with slightly more recommended for corners, detailed layouts or irregular wall shapes.

How can I identify real stone cladding and understand its long-term performance?

All of our stone wall cladding is made from genuine quarried natural stone, including quartz, slate, granite and limestone. These materials are naturally hard, durable and resistant to weathering, making them suitable for long-term exterior use. The colour of real stone is determined by its internal mineral composition, which remains stable over time. Even after years of exposure to rain, frost and sunlight, the overall tone and character remain fundamentally consistent. When comparing products on the market, it is important to check whether the material is truly natural stone, as some products sold as stone cladding are manufactured using cement moulds and artificial colouring. These alternatives are typically much cheaper to produce, more uniform in appearance, and do not offer the same long-term durability or colour stability.

Why do we only supply real natural stone cladding?

We supply only real natural stone cladding because it reflects our approach to material authenticity and long-term value. Cement-moulded cladding products are inexpensive to manufacture and widely available, and in many cases can be produced at around one-third of the cost of genuine natural stone cladding in our overseas factory. However, we do not believe in importing very low-cost materials and selling them at higher retail prices under the general label of stone cladding. As a direct importer, our focus is on genuine quarried stone with consistent quality, natural appearance and dependable durability, ensuring customers receive materials that perform reliably over time rather than relying on short-term surface appearance.
