• Lightness: Stone cladding is easier to carry and install than natural stone, and it places less pressure on the existing structure. It generally weighs considerably less than natural stone.
• Insulation: Stone cladding is weather-resistant and protective. It helps a building stay warm in winter and cool in summer. Reinforcing the cladding with a steel or aluminum framework, called a honeycomb, makes it able to resist earthquakes and high winds.
• Minimal maintenance: Like stone, stone cladding requires little upkeep to look good for many years.
• Ease of installation: Lightweight cladding is easier to install than stone. It doesn’t require the same heavy equipment that a masonry installation does. This doesn’t mean you can install it yourself, however. Hanging stone cladding requires experience and skill.
• Esthetics: Stone gives any building an elegant look. Cladding can look like quartz, granite, marble, or any natural stone. It also comes in a wide choice of colors. Because you can install it anywhere, stone cladding gives you endless ways to design with stone.
