Decorative Stone Cladding

Decorative cultured stone is a synthetic cladding material used to create an attractive look indoors and outdoors. It imitates the appearance of natural stone and creates a rustic atmosphere. It is popular for wall cladding, flooring, fireplace surrounds and garden walls, comes in many colours and textures, and adds character to any space.

The main differences between cultured stone and natural stone:

• Origin: Natural stones form over years of geological processes, are extracted from natural sources and every piece is unique — granite, marble and limestone are examples. Cultured stones are manufactured to order, usually from a mix of concrete, resin and other materials, and resemble natural stone.
• Look and variety: Every natural stone has its own texture, colour and pattern. Cultured stones resemble natural stone but offer an almost unlimited range of colours and patterns.
• Durability: Natural stones are generally durable and long-lasting; cultured stones are even more durable.
• Cost: Natural stone is usually more expensive because it is rare and can be difficult to extract. Cultured stone is more affordable because it is purpose-made.

In short, cultured stone offers the aesthetics of natural stone as a more economical option.

Cultured stone can bring an attractive look to many areas:

• Wall cladding: indoors or on exterior façades, creating a rustic atmosphere and adding character.
• Garden walls and landscaping: garden walls, paths, terraces, borders and landscape features.
• Fireplace surrounds: the natural-stone look makes a fireplace far more inviting.

Cultured stone is also used behind TV units, as a bedroom headboard wall and behind mirrors.

Follow these steps to install decorative cultured stone:

• Surface preparation: the surface must be clean, even and sound.
• Measuring: measure the area to calculate how much stone you need.
• Choosing the adhesive: select an adhesive suitable for the surface and the stone.
• Fixing: apply the adhesive and set the stones on the wall.

Following these steps gives an attractive and durable result.
