Wood, stone and chalet spirit


Pronounced reliefs, grey or anthracite stones and a more irregular installation: the facing takes on a raw character here that works particularly well with wood and mountain architecture. Gneiss, slates and quartzites are the most natural choices for this style.

3. Laid with or without a joint?

The real question: prioritize a continuous finish or highlight each stone.

Parement CALCAIRE VILLAGE + Angles - Minéral Pierre Naturelle

WITH GROUT JOINT

A more cohesive and harmonious wall


The mortar joint creates a visual connection between the stones and gives more unity to the wall. Its color directly affects the appearance: it can soften the contrasts between light and dark stones and make a highly nuanced facing much more harmonious.

Depending on the stone, the width and shade of the joint, the result can be both traditional and contemporary.

JOINT-FREE

Stones laid edge to edge


The elements fit together without visible joint filling.

  • With fine, straight, and regular stones, the result can be very sleek and contemporary.
  • With more irregular and heavily textured stones, it can, on the contrary, become much more rustic.


It is the stone itself that determines the style, not the absence of a joint.

💡 DOES YOUR WALL HAVE CORNERS?

Corner pieces really make a difference

Some claddings have matching corner pieces. These cover the corners without revealing the cladding's thickness, creating the impression that the stone wraps around the wall, as if it were actually built from solid stone.

The result is more natural and much more refined. When corner pieces are not available, it is still possible to create corners by cutting the cladding during installation, but this requires more work.

If your project involves several corners, the availability of corner pieces can therefore become a real selection criterion.

4. Which form to choose?

The real question: prioritize speed of installation or a more handcrafted finish.

Parement LUNA GREY Minéral pierre naturelle

RECTANGULAR

Straight edges, regular lines


Rectangular pieces with sawn edges allow for very precise installation, with fine joints and regular lines. The result is cleaner and more structured than with cladding with rough edges, while maintaining the natural relief and nuances of the stone.

⏱️ Installation time: medium (≈ 5 to 7 m²/ day)
Installation requires careful alignment, but remains relatively simple.

PRE-ASSEMBLED

Speed and natural look

Composed of multiple stones assembled into a panel, pre-assembled cladding creates a natural relief while reducing installation time. The joints are designed to remain discreet.

⏱️ Installation time: fast (≈ 10 m²/ day)

This is the ideal solution for covering large surfaces more efficiently.

DRY STONE

Authenticity and texture

Inspired by traditional dry-stone walls, these stone facings offer a pronounced relief and strong character. They are generally laid without visible joints to preserve their natural appearance.

⏱️ Installation time: variable (approx. 4 to 6 m²/day)

Depending on the model, some elements require more adjustments to achieve a harmonious finish.

RANDOM SHAPES

A unique and vibrant wall

Each stone has its own unique shape, creating a facing with an authentic and natural look. Installation can be done with or without joints, depending on the desired effect.

⏱️ Installation time: longer (≈ 2 to 4 m²/day)

The stones must be selected and adjusted one by one, which requires more time and expertise.

5. What character do you want to give your wall?

→ The rendering depends on the shape, relief, thickness, and finish of the facing. These elements directly influence the perception of your wall and the atmosphere it creates.

How to maintain natural stone cladding?

Natural stone cladding retains its aesthetic appeal for a long time when maintained with appropriate products. Regular dusting and occasional cleaning with a specific natural stone cleaner help preserve its nuances, texture, and original appearance.
