STONE PANEL SYSTEM

Stone Panel System

Stone Clad is an innovative natural stone panel system saving both time and money when compared with traditional stone masonry. Our system is using large 600 x 200 mm panels and smaller 300 x 200 mm panels (2 of each in a box) which allow the use of larger pieces of stone to build a panel, giving a more natural and more substantial look. Stone cladding systems consist of straight Z shaped panels, stone corner pieces (quoins) and integrated fixing clips. All edges are hand-dressed, on both straight and corner panels.

Frequently asked questions

Please refer below to the questions we are frequently asked

  • Can these stone cladding panels be installed both externally and internally?

    Yes. They are mainly designed for exterior use, however can also be used on internal solid walls. Internally, they are not suitable for use on stud wall, unless they are fixed onto a cement board or MGO board. The panels were tested for thermal shock to ETAG 004:2013 and no damage was detected. They were also tested for frost damage and freeze-thaw according to ETAG 004:2013 and no damage was detected either.

  • Are all the panels different?

    The panels are of the same design and size, so 600 mm wide x 200 mm high, and 300 mm wide and 200 mm high. The thickness is up to 40 mm at the stone face. Weight is approximately 75 kilograms per square metre. They are different in colour and the individual pieces making up a panel also vary.

  • Are the panels difficult to install?

    Not at all. They can be installed even by a DIYer. Please refer to our brochure for further details (surface preparation, accessories, and special requirements such as starter rails, expansion joints, sealing, etc.) or contact us for advice.

  • What surfaces can the panels be installed onto?

    They can be installed mainly on block work, and also on timber frame lined with cement or MGO board as well as insulated concrete form. Each application has its own surface preparation. Please contact us for details.

  • Do they require any sealing or maintenance?

    No, they do not. They are virtually maintenance free and do not require sealing. However, sealing will do no harm, and can improve the resistance to contaminants, organic growth or elements. We also supply water-repellent sealers which do not affect the colour of stone, and sealers that create wet-look effect.

  • Are they suitable for wet areas?

    Yes, as a natural stone product they are. Please make sure you use correct adhesive. 

  • Are they resistant to heat?

    The panels were tested for fire resistance and reaction to fire to EN 13823:2010, EN 11925-2:2010+AC:2011 and EN 13501-1 - they were classed as fire class A1 and non-combustible.

  • What is the best way to cut them?

    For dust-free wet cutting, use a wet tile saw. Angle grinder is a second best option as it creates dust. Please remember to use dust mask and glasses.

  • Do these panels require any mechanical fixings?

    Yes, they require secondary mechanical fixings at heights over 2 metres. The panels come with integrated fixing clips, all you need is appropriate bolts, screws or hammer fixings with plastic plugs depending on the surface the panels are getting fixed to, and they should be approved by a qualified structural engineer. Any fixings should be made of stainless or galvanised steel. Please contact us for advice if you are unsure.
