The scale and design of this house required a stone cladding that was linear in its look but also offered a sense of size and strength to anchor the seemingly floating roofline. It also needed to have a degree of variation to break up the horizontal lines, but not so much as to be a distraction.

Whilst we had the stone of choice in our stable of products, Quartzite Silver Slate, we didn’t have a cladding product that fully answered this brief.  Working with the architect’s direction and in conjunction  with one of our suppliers we developed what has become known as our Variable Length Cladding – a natural face stone cladding in lengths of 400mm, 600mm and 1,000mm x 85mm that is laid in a random fashion.  At 25mm thick there is definitely some substance to this cladding. Our background with both New Zealand and exotic stone claddings means we have a fully tested system for installing this product, which we have gone on to supply in a range of stone varieties.

About the
Professional

Why is it that we find flowing water calming, that having plants in our living spaces improves our mood or that we feel so much better after a walk in the fresh air?  Being connected to nature is good for us, we know it intuitively and the research tells us as much.  At a time when we are increasingly disconnected from the world outside our front door, Island Stone gives you the chance to have a slice of nature where you live and work every day.

Our range of tiles and claddings offers a myriad of opportunities to have natural stone as a feature in your next project, whether in a classic, understated way, or where innovative design takes centre stage.

Nothing you will see in the Island Stone range is ‘off the shelf’ – these are our designs and each product must meet our strict quality standards before we put the Island Stone name to it. 

From the earliest conceptual beginnings through to the end-product being available for your next project, Island Stone controls the entire process.   We design it, source the raw material and in most cases produce it in our own purpose-built factories.  Where we don’t make the product ourselves, we form strong partnerships with those who we contract to do it on our behalf.

So, if you still don’t find what you are looking for, feel free to talk to us about custom design.  After all, sourcing, cutting and shaping stone is what we do!  Give us a call.
