Stone cladding Canberra
Feature stone needs a support system, not only a surface pattern.
Stone cladding introduces weight, depth and irregular edges that need different planning from a light wall tile. LITA Tiling assesses suitable residential feature walls and columns with attention to the substrate, unit weight, height, corners and the nominated fixing system.

How the work is approached
01
Identify the product
Collect the cladding specification, weight, unit sizes and installation guidance.
02
Check support
Assess whether the background and proposed fixing method suit the load and height.

Plan the pattern
Balance modules, corners, returns and colour or texture variation before fixing.
04
Install the system
Use the agreed preparation and support method, then complete the nominated edge finish.
Common questions
Can stone cladding be fixed to any wall?
No. Product weight, substrate capacity, height and the fixing system all need to be considered before installation.
Do external feature walls need different planning?
Yes. Exposure, movement, moisture, height and manufacturer requirements can change the suitable system.
Can you clad columns and corners?
Yes for suitable products and substrates. Corner units, returns and the visible module should be included in the material and set-out review.
