Types of Natural Stone for Exterior Cladding

Natural stone cladding refers to thin layers of real stone applied to exterior walls to create a protective and decorative surface. It combines structural protection with visual appeal, making it a popular choice for modern and traditional architecture.

Unlike full-thickness stone construction, cladding is lighter, more cost-effective, and easier to install.
