Before we delve deeper into the different characteristics that contribute to the overall ambience, let's have a look at some of the natural stone cladding options.

Sandstone: You can opt for Sandstone, which is a sedimentary rock  formed over millions of years, compressed and cemented together.  Typically formed in lakes, rivers or on ocean floors,  sandstones have natural variations of color, shade tones and textures. Whether you opt for ledgestone or castle stone, sawn or natural, or go for the conventional castledge or the rustic fieldstone pattern the end result will be breathtaking.

Quartzite: When the tectonic compression deep within the earth’s crust exerts pressure and heat on sandstone it gets converted into quartzite. The natural stone cladding of Quartzite comes in a range of shades  of beige to grey. Presence of other minerals result in a varied color palette of yellows, greens, blues and oranges. Choosing quartzite is a guarantee of strength and beauty.

Limestone: Limestone is a sedimentary rock, formed over millions of years from the accumulation of layers of animal shells collected on the ocean floor.  It is a preferred natural stone cladding option due to its durability, versatility, and accessibility. It is widely used for flooring, exteriors as well as interiors. It is available in shades of white, grey, beige yellow, red and even black.
