Natural stone is attractive, weather resistant, durable, and fireproof, making it the perfect choice for cladding a building’s façade. But does stone cladding add value to a property? Let’s take a closer look.
A resposta simples é sim! Revestimento de pedra 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.
Em segundo lugar, adicionar uma camada de revestimento de pedra ao exterior de um edifício pode melhorar significativamente o desempenho térmico. A camada extra aumentará a capacidade de isolamento, ajudando a reter o calor no interior. Uma camada de revestimento de pedra também protegerá a alvenaria exterior das intempéries, reduzindo a erosão e prolongando a vida útil do edifício.
