Split face
At Minéral, we enhance natural stone in all its forms and finishes. The "split-face" cladding is distinguished by its split or sawn stones, with flat and regular faces that are smoother to the touch than rounded cladding. The irregular contours are preserved, offering a less massive, more airy style, for a structured, graphic, and contemporary look.
1. Split stones with flat faces
Each stone is carefully split, creating a visible face that is straight and uniform. This regularity facilitates assembly and guarantees a harmonious wall, while preserving the natural texture and irregularities of the contours. Unlike rounded stones, split stones offer a sense of controlled solidity and a more refined aesthetic.

2. A subtle and refined texture
The flat surface is slightly rough to the touch, but remains smoother and more delicate than rounded cladding. It captures the light and reveals the natural nuances of the stone, creating a living yet organized wall. The result is modern and graphic, while retaining the authenticity inherent in natural stone.

3. Harmonized dimensions
Split stones are more uniform in thickness and width, offering precise assembly and a lighter, less massive finish than rounded cladding. This regularity allows for playing with the depth, length, and orientation of the stones to create a unique, structured, and elegant wall or paving.

4. Versatility and durability
Split stone is robust and durable, resistant to shocks and weather. It is suitable for exterior walls, interiors, paving, and landscaping. Its flat finish facilitates installation and guarantees a clean finish, while preserving the natural and lively appearance of the stone.
