Stone

Craftstone Select delivers an authentic and durable real stone finish without the need for stepped foundations or engineered lintels. This premium range of back-cut individual stones and back-cut corner stones are handcrafted to showcase the natural beauty of the stone without the unnecessary weight.

Our network of Approved Installers will select and shape the stone to interlock beautifully.

Craftstone Select also provides a wider range of sizes and shapes than you’ll see in the panelled versions of Schistclad. Because they’re individual stones, they can be dry-stacked, pointed, colour-blended, and/or bag-finished. The choices are endless.

That gives our customers the confidence that our system has been independently and invasively tested to ensure that it meets the highest standards for weathertightness, wind loading and seismic activity under New Zealand’s Building Code.

Why choose the Craftstone system?

  • It's real stone, formed over thousands of years and will last. No need for UV testing like artificial products.
