Can stone cladding increase property value-stone clad

The simple answer is Yes! Stone cladding can add value to a property. The more complicated question, however, is how can it do this? Firstly, natural stone is a visually attractive material. Its unique appearance and natural grey colour can transform the appearance of any property’s exterior or interior walls. This increases a property’s market value by making it more appealing to potential buyers.

Secondly, adding a layer of stone cladding to a building exterior can significantly improve thermal performance. The extra layer will enhance insulating capacity, helping to trap heat inside. A layer of stone cladding will also protect the exterior brickwork from weathering, reducing erosion and prolonging the life of the building.
