Wall Cladding

Introduction to Wall Cladding

Wall cladding, also known as wall panels, is a great way to give your walls a fresh new look while also protecting them from the weather. Whether it’s outside on your home or garden walls, or even inside as a feature wall, cladding adds style and durability all in one. You can choose from materials like porcelain and natural sandstone, both of which look fantastic and hold up well over time.

With plenty of colours, sizes, and textures available, it’s easy to find the perfect match for your space. 

The benefits of Wall Cladding?

Wall cladding isn’t just about looks, it’s also very practical. It helps protect your walls from moisture, dirt, and wear, so they stay looking good for longer without needing tons of upkeep.

• Durability

Porcelain and natural sandstone are both tough materials. Porcelain is especially hard-wearing and keeps water out, so it’s perfect for outdoor walls that face the elements. Sandstone has that lovely natural feel and can stand up to bad weather too. With the right installation, your cladding will stay strong and beautiful for years.

• Versatility

Whether your style is clean and contemporary or earthy and traditional, there’s a cladding option for you. Porcelain gives a smooth, modern finish, while sandstone brings natural textures and warmth. You can mix and match colours and styles to create exactly the vibe you want.

• Low Maintenance

One of the best things about cladding is how little fuss it takes to keep it looking good. Porcelain needs just the occasional wipe down, and while sandstone might need a bit more care—like sealing here and there—it’s nothing too demanding. Just fix up any small chips quickly and you’re good to go.

Affordability

Wall cladding is a smart investment. It looks great, protects your walls, and lasts a long time.

While porcelain might cost a bit more upfront, its durability and low maintenance pay off in the long run. Sandstone is often more affordable and brings that authentic stone charm, making both great choices depending on your style and budget.

Types & Styles of Wall Cladding

You’ve got loads of options when it comes to cladding styles. Big smooth panels give a sleek, modern look, while textured sandstone pieces add character and warmth. Whether you want your walls to make a bold statement or blend gently into the surroundings, there’s something to fit.

• Porcelain Wall Cladding

Smooth or textured porcelain panels look fresh and modern, perfect for giving your garden or interior walls a clean, polished finish. They bounce light around and make spaces feel open and bright.

• Sandstone Wall Cladding

If you love that natural, rustic vibe, sandstone is the way to go. Its riven and textured surface brings in that lovely stone feel, great for garden walls, fireplaces, or any spot that could use some earthy charm.

Porcelain vs. Sandstone: What’s the Difference?

• Durability

Porcelain is dense and non-porous, so it’s great at keeping moisture out and resisting stains. Sandstone is tough too but might need sealing depending on where you use it.

• Maintenance

Porcelain is pretty much fuss-free, just a quick clean now and then. Sandstone might need a bit more TLC to keep it looking great, but it’s nothing too tricky.

• Cost

Porcelain usually costs a little more upfront but lasts a long time with minimal care. Sandstone can be easier on the budget and brings that natural stone look many people love.
