Free Style Walling is a design method that produces distinctive, eye-catching walls by arranging natural stones in an uneven and unstructured manner. By embracing the natural shapes, sizes and textures of stones, Free Style walling creates a more organic and rustic appearance than traditional masonry, which involves meticulously cutting and arranging the stones. Rich in colour and naturally durable, it usually comes in Limestone, Sandstone and Slate.

Yes, both wall cladding styles are the same. In this series, the size of the individual cladding pieces is different from each other. The maximum size would range up to 350mm and the thickness would vary from 20-40mm. This type is highly in demand and creates a style statement.

The common stones used for Free Style Stone Cladding are Limestone, Sandstone and Granite; however, Marble and Slates are also used in some cases. The use of the cladding is not restricted to any stone. Unique and striking facades can also be made with other stones including Bluestone and Travertine. Because every stone has a unique texture, colour and durability, there are many design options to fit various architectural styles and individual tastes.

Stone Cladding, as the name suggests, is made of natural stones that are porous in nature. So, yes, Free Style Stone Cladding can strain. We would recommend sealing the stone at the time of installation to make it stain resistant. Regular resealing every one to two years, in addition to sealing upon installation, helps preserve the stone's resilience to moisture and stains. Spills should also be cleaned up right once to avoid permanent discolouration. Regular cleaning with a pH-neutral solution will guarantee that the cladding stays in good shape without causing harm to the protective sealant.

Stone Wall Claddings are the easiest to maintain. Since they are sturdy, durable, and weather-resistant, they hardly break or get stained. Avoid using harsh chemicals. Just use mild detergents to clean stains or wash with plain water to remove dirt, and that's it. In short, regular cleaning preserves the stone's inherent beauty and keeps it intact for many years to come.

If you are looking for an answer to the big question, it would be sealing and resealing the stone cladding. We have mentioned the same in the previous answers as well. Also, proper maintenance has to be done in order to keep the colour of the stone intact. Do not use harsh chemicals and cleaners to clean the surface as it could leave stains on the surface.
