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.








Like every beautiful thing and like every natural material, natural stone requires proper care and maintenance.

We recommend: always treat stone surfaces with the right products for natural stone!

Regardless of the type of stone and its location, a single application of sealing agent will save you unnecessary worries and greatly facilitate maintenance.

Everything needs care. Use the high-quality German products from AKEMI, with which we have been working and recommending for years.

The treated impregnated surface does not allow water and contaminants to penetrate.

The protection with a sealer provides resistance against the destructive cycles of freezing and melting in external conditions. Water simply does not absorb when the stone surface is impregnated but forms droplets.


Depending on the type of sealer, it may not alter the external appearance of the stone or deepen its colors. Choose among the following types of sealers:

"Universal" sealer, which does not change the appearance of the stone and protects against water.
"Wet Effect" - a powerful sealer, like the Universal one, but with colors standing out in a more intense contrast.
"Stain-Free" is the best sealer: it protects against water and grease, also without changing the external appearance of the stone.

The frequency of reapplication depends on conditions and the usage of the stone tiles (whether it is flooring and traffic intensity). Usually, AKEMI recommends every 5 years for exterior stone, flooring + wet areas, and 10 years for interior stone (wall cladding).

How to apply the sealer? - It's easy, like child's play. The stone surface must be clean and very dry. The liquid is applied undiluted with a roller, sponge, or brush. If the surface is smooth polished or matte, a second step is required: the so-called "polishing" with a microfiber cloth for 20 minutes after applying the sealer. And we're done.

What cleaning products are used for natural stone? - Some types of stone, such as marble and travertine, are sensitive to acidic, very strong cleaning agents (e.g. bleach). We recommend: always clean your stone surfaces with a pH-neutral cleaning agent.

How to breathe new life into natural stone in the exterior?

In a few steps, natural stone can be restored to its original state, in its full brilliance and aesthetics.

First and foremost is regular cleaning and at least once a year thorough washing with a pressure washer. This is particularly important for our outdoor furniture products (barbecues, sinks, tables, countertops, and pavement tiles).

Once the surfaces are clean and dry, do not forget to apply a sealer.

Tip: Protect your outdoor flooring from furniture that may rust.

For specific stains such as oily spots, efflorescence (cement milk), mold, cement residues, or grout mixtures, silicones, or paints, it is best to contact us directly for consultation. Count on us; we will provide you with the right products to address the issue, wherever and whenever possible.

The durability of natural stone depends on the specific porosity of the stone type and its water absorption levels. For example, the porosity of granite and gneiss is around 1%, while sandstone has over 20%.

The biggest destructive enemies for items, coverings, and pavements exposed year-round are the sun and freeze/thaw cycles. When the stone is sealed/waterproof, you will receive maximum protection and much easier maintenance.

In severe cases of areas with contamination, the non-polished stone surface can be treated with an angle grinder and fine sandpapers. This process removes the top layer of the stone, making it look like new. (The process is similar to sanding wooden parquet.)

Stone is the best friend of the yard and garden. With love for beautiful, natural materials and proper care, the stone will continue to bring you joy for many years to come.
