New Products | Feedback Required
Since 2003 Norstone have been one of the innovators in the stone cladding sector, with our natural stone panels and tiles becoming a popular and often specced substrate solution selected by architects for many types of projects, both commercial and private sector.
As a manufacturer and supplier, we are always investing time and resources into new materials, styles and technology formats for stone panels and tile systems. As we develop behind the scenes, we thought it would be useful to get some thoughts and feedback from our customer base, as you are the valued audience who trust Norstone cladding products and as such we believe your opinion can help us to shape the future of our high quality all natural stone cladding product ranges of the future. Here you will find all new design concepts we are exploring and we really appreciate if you could take some time to look them over and then complete our mini forum survey - this helps us understand commercial interest in these concepts and whether they would be successful in the UK architectural environment. |
New Stone Concept #02: Cyprus Sandstone
Our latest material under consideration is a delightful, warming natural sandstone that is prepared in individual panel strips to build bespoke custom cladding layouts, similar in configuration to Planc™. The stone offers a relatively uniform colour finish but each strip varies in terms of texture, pitting and smoothness.
Mined in the Mediterranean, Cyprus Sandstone is suited for internal installations only and can cover large expanses rapidly and with great ease. We think it has good potential for creating some warm and welcoming spaces around homes and commercial areas!
Do you have any projects that might benefit from this stone style and finish? We would greatly welcome your feedback so we can gauge interest ahead of a potential launch in the UK.

New Stone Concept #01: MED White Sandstone
Our new material under consideration is a stunning, pure white sandstone that can be easily worked into panel formats in a variety of ways. The stone offers a matt, clean finish which is very rare as most white stone is typically Quartzite and contains the flecks and sparkles of the minerals.
Mined in the Mediterranean, our new MED White Sandstone is a completely fresh take on all-white stone veneers and is suited for all internal installations.
Below you will see some style options that are currently under consideration for this new material - we would greatly welcome your feedback on them, imgine this new white sandstone applied in either the Rustic design or the more geometric build and help us with our product roadmap.

Style A: Loose Rustic with infillsStyle A would see MED White Sandstone made into a very rustic, artisan construction, with loose, hand crafted blocks and a dense packed finish which packs smaller chunks into the gaps, creating a no-gap style despite the organic shapes.
|
Style B: Geometric cuts, random patternStyle B would see MED White Sandstone made into more geometrically shaped blocks and a loose random pattern grid effect, giving it a semi hand crafted look but with smoother and more precise block shaping, and clear gaping between elements.
