Almost everything in our stone wall cladding range is porcelain made to look like natural stone. That matters because a porcelain wall never needs sealing, holds its colour in full sun, and costs a fraction of quarried stone, while keeping the texture that makes a stone wall worth doing.
The living room feature wall
The classic use: one wall behind the TV or sofa in a stacked stone or split face texture, with the other walls kept plain. Lighter sandstone and travertine tones keep the room warm and bright, and they flatter both timber floors and neutral carpet. If the full wall feels heavy, cladding the lower half or a chimney breast gives the texture without closing the room in. See also the broader feature wall tiles range for tiled alternatives like kit kat and mosaic features.
Fireplace surrounds
Stone cladding around a fireplace is the highest-impact metre of wall in the house. Darker schist and granite looks hide soot marks and give the hearth real weight, while porcelain handles the radiant heat of a domestic fireplace without special treatment. Wrap the cladding around the corner returns with matching corner pieces so the edges read as solid stone.
Z panels: the fast, groutless wall
Interlocking stone Z panels are the quickest route to a continuous stone wall: each panel locks into the next in a zig-zag joint, so there are no grout lines and no visible repeats. They suit large areas like facades, garage returns and alfresco walls where laying individual stone pieces would take days.
Outdoors: facades, fences and alfresco
Porcelain cladding is frost and fade resistant, so the same panels work on a front facade, a rendered fence that needs rescuing, or the alfresco wall behind an outdoor kitchen. Pair a stone wall with plain, large format outdoor tiles underfoot so the two textures do not compete, and carry the wall colour from inside out for the seamless indoor-outdoor look.
Softer alternatives: stone look tiles
If deep texture is too much, flat stone look tiles and travertine look tiles give the colour and movement of stone with a smooth, wipeable face, a better fit for bathrooms and splashbacks where cleaning matters more than shadow lines.
Before you commit
- Order samples of two or three textures. Shadow depth is the whole effect, and it changes completely with your room lighting.
- Check coverage per box and order corner pieces at the same time; external corners are what make a clad wall look genuinely solid.
- For fireplaces and outdoor walls, use a flexible, external-grade adhesive and a tiler who has hung heavy cladding before.
