Kinds of stone cladding
Natural stone cladding is real stone cut into thin wall-facing units, so it gives the look of a stone wall without building one.
- The stones
- Italtile's guide names natural quartzite and slate, split-face stone panels and its own Terra Grey, Terra Rust and Terra Noire ranges. Each stone's colour, texture and split face differ, so no two walls look exactly alike.
- How it comes
- Stone cladding is sold as mesh-backed panels, cement or concrete-backed panels and interlocking wall units, with purpose-made corner pieces so the edges of a wall look solid.
- Outside
- Outdoors it is used on entrance features, façades, patio and boundary walls, garden features and the walls around a braai.
- Inside
- Indoors it goes on living-room feature walls, double-volume entrances, staircase walls, reception areas and some fireplace surrounds.
- Weight
- Cladding is light next to building in full stone, but it still adds load, which is why the wall it goes on is checked first.

Timber and board cladding
Not every cladding job is stone. Timber and boards fix differently and need different care.
- Timber cladding
- Wood cladding is fixed with nails, screws or adhesive. Gyproc's guide stresses getting it straight so it does not warp, leaving air space behind it so moisture does not build up, and sealing the joints.
- Stone fixing
- Stone is laid out in its pattern before it is fixed, the adhesive is spread evenly and the joints are grouted, which affects both how long it lasts and how it looks.
- Board on a steel frame
- Gyproc's Glasroc X is a fibreglass and gypsum board for outside walls. It is fixed to a light steel frame, is non-combustible and has a jointing system made to keep water out.
- Upkeep
- Gyproc notes that stone needs more looking after than a board system and can crack as the weather changes, which is worth weighing against its look.

- Complexity of Installation: More complex installations, for instance, those with intricate designs or patterns, can lead to higher labour costs.
- Location: Costs of materials and labour can vary by location, and remote or difficult-to-access locations may result in additional transportation costs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the most affordable type of cladding?
Vinyl is typically the most affordable type of cladding. However, the best choice for your property will depend on various factors, including your budget, aesthetic preferences, and functional requirements.
Is cladding a good investment?

How long does cladding last?
The lifespan of cladding depends on the type of material used and the quality of the installation. For example, brick and stone cladding can last for several decades with proper maintenance.
How often does cladding need to be maintained?
The frequency of maintenance will depend on the type of cladding. For example, vinyl cladding may need to be cleaned annually, while stone or brick may require repointing every few years.
