The gray-blue splitface gneiss is a stylish cladding for fences, house bases, or facades, as well as for interior accents in an office or modern home. Its relief emphasizes the clean and sophisticated color of the stone. It blends well as a base against a white wall or with interior/exterior dark wood colors.
The gray-blue splitface gneiss is a top product, and there's no way to go wrong by choosing it for stone cladding. Each tile is hand-edged with love for the stone to unfold the emotion of an ancient look.
To achieve the distinctive splitface look, each tile is manually processed from all four sides. When installed with a 4-5mm grout, the effect of decorative bricks is achieved—very modern for both interior and exterior design. A wall with decorative bricks, but not gypsum or cement, but with natural stone, inevitably becomes the focal point of the space.
The natural stone wall cladding with gray-blue shades creates a unique atmosphere in the home, bringing tranquility and elegance. This color palette conveys the feeling of harmony of water tones and the endless sky, adding coziness and warmth.
The presence of this split stone for cladding indoors or outdoors creates a connection with nature and adds an additional layer of depth to the design.
The beauty of nature is expressed in the unique textures and shades of the stone, giving the wall an artistic character.
Using natural materials not only emphasizes aesthetics but also reflects the desire for a connection with nature and its eternal beauty.
Here are steps for installation, maintenance, and sealing of exterior cladding stone:
Installation:
Surface preparation: Make sure the wall is stable, level, and suitable for installation. Clean it from dust, dirt, and grease.
Gluing: Use suitable adhesive for the stone, according to the manufacturer's instructions. Apply a large part of the adhesive on the back of the tile and apply it to the wall. Press and arrange the tiles in the desired composition.
Maintenance:
Regular cleaning: Clean the tiles at regular intervals using a soft brush or cloth moistened with a mild solution of a gentle cleaning product. This will remove dust and dirt and keep the stone fresh.
Avoid aggressive products: Avoid using aggressive cleaning agents that may damage the surface of the stone.
Sealing (if desired):
Protective coating (sealer): If desired, you can apply a special protective coating for natural stone. This will protect the surface from stains and moisture.
Follow the instructions: If you use a protective coating, follow the manufacturer's instructions for application and renewal frequency.
By following these steps for installation, maintenance, and, if necessary, sealing, you will ensure the longevity and visual appeal of your gray-blue natural cladding stone.
