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.
