Secrets of Stone Cladding

You've probably seen them before – chic homes with swathes of cut stone blocks on one wall, or an entire façade. The truth is though, while stone cladding is not cheap, it's also not the most expensive thing around, if you know what you're looking for. Stone cladding is basically a form of tile that is applied to an existing brick structure, using cement, and then grouted in place, as you would a regular tile. This becomes expensive when you are using genuine stone, although it does look amazing. If you want a similar look, but for a better price, there are ‘manufacture red' stones out there too. These are tinted and molded concrete stones, which look almost like the real deal, but are considerably cheaper. So, if you love the lo ok of stone cladding, but want it at a budget friendly price, why not get a quote for both options?
