Natural stone cladding
ZClad natural stone cladding combines hand-chiselled stone with durable cement panels for seamless wall installations. This system offers authentic aesthetics with 30-45mm thickness and interlocking 'Z' shaped design. Suitable for both interior and exterior applications, it provides a maintenance-free finish that enhances architectural designs while reducing installation time by up to 70% compared to traditional methods.
Stone slips
Natural stone slips provide authentic wall coverings in various materials including slate, quartz, and limestone. These 15-35mm thick slips offer versatile applications for both internal and external walls. The random heights and lengths create organic patterns, while L-shaped corners emulate solid stone construction. Available in multiple finishes including Autumn Gold and River Blue.
ZBoard cladding
ZBoard is a heavy-duty fibre-cement board designed for wooden and SFS structures. This cladding solution includes accessories like adhesive, screws, and sheathing tape. The system provides a durable base for stone cladding applications while maintaining structural integrity. Available in 12mm thickness with nationwide delivery options.
Adhesive & sealer
Specialist adhesive and sealer products ensure proper installation and longevity of stone cladding. The polymer-fortified adhesive offers 2.5m coverage per 20kg bag with 30-minute open time. Natural finish sealer provides water and stain resistance while maintaining stone's natural appearance. Both products are suitable for interior and exterior applications.
Installation accessories
Comprehensive installation accessories include fixing clips, sheathing tape, and cutting equipment. These tools ensure proper panel alignment and structural integrity for walls over 2 metres. The system minimises waste during construction and requires no specialist skills, making it accessible for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts.

How does ZClad™ compare to traditional stone walling?
ZClad™ reduces installation time by up to 70% and construction waste by 25% compared to traditional methods. It requires no specialist skills, offers seamless cornering, and provides consistent coverage with minimal maintenance requirements.

How do I calculate quantities needed for a ZClad™ installation?
Measure wall dimensions, multiply length by height, then add 10% for wastage. Each box covers one third of a square metre. For external corners, measure in linear metres based on the height of the section to be clad.
