Basingstoke Golf Club have recently completed a 3 year overhaul of their facilities, crowned by a new 18 hole course and a modern, beautifully designed clubhouse.

With a thoroughly modern architectural design, the clubhouse is fully equipped with a well-stocked bar, pro shop, changing rooms and a number of conference rooms available for members. Norstone® Ochre Blend SL stone cladding has been used as both an internal and external design feature, with it's most impressive visual effect being where it is used as a feature wall in the clubhouse bar area.

The SL slimline cladding in ochre brings warmth and diverse colours to the rooms and building whilst providing durable low maintenance finishes that will stand the test of time. Taking full advantage of the Norstone fingerlocking panel system and associated corner units, SL rock panel was able to wrap around pillars, columns and corners with ease.

The lighter thinner nature of these SL panels means that the overall weight and structural presence is greatly reduced yet the stone wall effect is maintained. The finished result is spectacular and we are very proud to see Norstone Rock Panel™ system used on this brilliant project.

To that end, we highlight one customer who demonstrates that Norstone® really does deliver the best quality natural stone cladding in the UK.
 
NH chose Norstone SL (slim) Charcoal Rock Panel cladding for a property in Coombe. The slimline, versatile cladding was used extensively on the building’s lower elevation, in particular the amazing fingerjoint corner system was very effective when wrapping around a multi-window section to brilliant effect (see photo below).

NH was very happy with the end result and the value proposition that slimline Rock Panel represents, so when he had a new project, he again chose Slimline Charcoal Stone Cladding by Norstone as the go-to choice. This time, the rock panel was used at a coastal property for a carport and a curved feature wall – topped with our matching charcoal copings.
 
NH was delighted with the end result and has no hesitation in recommending Norstone stone cladding, as his kind testimonials show. NH also used slimline on the gates and walls at the front of the Coombe property to tie in the with cladding style previously applied to the property.

 
A true testament to the quality and ease with which Norstone cladding can be used across multiple projects and surface areas, we’re delighted to receive such warm and encouraging feedback. The true value of good products and good service is that you find them to be and easy, natural choice.

Nestled in the picturesque town of Poole, this attractive holiday property has been enhanced with the use of Norstone® natural stone cladding. We explore the key features that make this coastal property with SL (slimline) Stone Cladding project truly remarkable.

The property owner, having also installed Norstone® in their London residence, recognized the enduring beauty and versatility of our natural stone cladding. Not only does it effortlessly combine sophistication and durability, it’s also an ideal choice for coastal environments where weather resistance is paramount.

To create a striking focal point during both day and night, the slimline stone cladding was ingeniously employed in the carport area. By integrating downlights within the stone cladding, a mesmerizing play of light and shadow is achieved, amplifying the property's appeal even after sunset.

The gentle slope of the SL cladding retaining wall was artfully enhanced using Norstone Charcoal Copings. These elegant coping stones not only add visual interest but also help to ensure proper water drainage and prevent erosion, contributing to the overall longevity of the structure.

Installing natural stone cladding requires craftsmanship and attention to detail. The Norstone Rock Panel™ stone cladding used in this project was meticulously cut and shaped according to the property's unique design requirements. The professional tilers used wet saws to effortlessly create seamless transitions and a flawless finish.
