Installation Hints & Tips – Stone & Porcelain Cladding

A successful installation is key to achieving a polished, professional look and long-lasting performance. Utilising the skills of an experienced, reputable landscaper is always preferable when undertaking work at your property, but these products can be installed as part of a DIY project. Here’s some handy hints and tips to achieving the best results when installing natural stone and porcelain cladding products:

Step 1: Surface Preparation

Ensure the wall or surface is clean, dry, and free of any debris or loose material.

For masonry walls, repair any cracks and apply a suitable primer to improve adhesion.

Step 2: Planning & Layout

Plan the cladding pattern beforehand, especially if you’re mixing sizes or materials.

Create guidelines to maintain straight, even rows.

Step 3: Adhesive Application

Use a high-strength adhesive suitable for outdoor use.

Apply the adhesive in small sections to prevent it from drying before cladding placement.

Step 4: Installing the Cladding

Begin from the bottom and work upwards, pressing each cladding piece firmly into the adhesive.

For larger porcelain panels, leave small gaps for expansion and contraction.

Step 5: Grouting & Finishing Touches

Once the cladding is securely set, apply grout to seal the gaps (if applicable).

Clean the surface with a soft cloth and water to remove any excess adhesive or grout.

Stone & Porcelain Wall Cladding FAQs

Is porcelain cladding suitable for outdoor use in cold climates?

Absolutely. Porcelain cladding is highly resistant to frost, cracking, and extreme temperatures, making it ideal for outdoor use even in harsh weather conditions.

How do I clean and maintain my stone or porcelain cladding?

Both materials are low-maintenance. Periodic cleaning with mild soap and water is usually sufficient. All materials can withstand harsher, specialist chemical cleaning, if it is required.

Can I install cladding on surfaces other than walls, such as planters or garden features?

Yes! Stone and porcelain cladding can be used on various outdoor surfaces, including raised beds, planters, and water features, to create a cohesive and stylish garden design.

Can I use Cheshire Paving Stones’ Stone & Porcelain Cladding Indoors?

Absolutely! The entirety of our porcelain and natural stone cladding collection can be used both indoors-and-out. Used internally, our cladding options can make for wonderful feature walls, kitchen splashbacks, or bathroom walling.

Does cladding fade over time when exposed to sunlight?

No. Our premium porcelain products are UV-resistant, meaning they maintain their vibrant colour even with prolonged sun exposure. Natural stone cladding (especially lighter, more porous natural stone) can develop a patina over time, but the colour will sustain.

How do I choose between smooth and textured porcelain cladding?

It depends on your design goals. Smooth porcelain cladding is ideal for sleek, minimalist looks, while textured porcelain cladding adds depth and visual interest to the space.

Can I view Cheshire Paving Stones Products in person?

Absolutely! Although not essential, we encourage customers to view materials before purchasing. Find directions to our showroom. Alternatively, you can order samples of our materials to see how they look and feel from the comfort of your own home.
