Do you want to see how to prepare and install Norstone’s incredible natural stone cladding in real-life projects?

Our American division has partnered with popular Youtuber HandyDadTV to create a video that showcases the amazing Planc™ Platinum Lava Stone cladding system. In this video, created in conjunction with Norstone USA, HandyDad looks at various ranges of Norstone stone cladding and explains why he choose a modern tiled cladding effect over a more traditional stacked stone style.

In this clear and instructive video, he guides the viewer through the process of installing Planc™ Platinum  stone cladding tiles onto a fireplace surround with a range of top DIY tips and guidance for best tools and gear to get the job done! Whilst the video is created with a US audience in mind, the technique and process is exactly the same for installing Norstone over here in the UK too. If you choose Norstone cladding, we would recommend suitable mounting materials and adhesive/sealants options that you can source within the UK which match up to those shown in the video.

For more guidance and any questions on the installation, please contact us; we'd be happy to help!

After our bespoke lava stone installation in the USA received rave reviews, we decided to develop a new product utilising lava stone and also using this large-scale format to include the ever popular basalt and quartzite materials used in Norstone’s other stone cladding ranges.

A minor departure from our renowned modular panels, the large format Planc™ still posseses all the benefits associated wiith Norstone’s product range - rapid, seamless installation of the highest quality, precision-cut natural stone with the warranty options Norstone has become famous for.

Packaged in sets of three (800 x 60/80/140mm), this versatile product can be laid however you prefer - staggered, symmetrical, asymmetrical or even whichever random design you decide upon. Be creative! We can also accommodate bespoke sizes from 150-1000mm wide to 1500mm long - please email us for more details.

The style is uncompromisingly modern and the range encompasses a silver grey quartzite to an ebony basalt. Surfaces range from naturally pitted lava stone to silky smooth basalt with degrees of honed finishes inbetween. Whether monochrome or a blend of several colours and finishes, our Planc™ range produces stunning results.

Norstone prides itself that it supplies stone cladding products to both retail and commercial clients alike. One of our most recent projects shown in these pictures is for a large supermarket complex that had a combination of both Ochre XLS and our new Aksent Ebony natural stone cladding.

We are delighted with the results; Ochre XLS and Aksent Ebony cladding panel systems have been paired in  striking fashion to provide a beautiful façade for this busy commercial shopping Centre.

The project, like most our larger projects, was specified by architects who obviously saw that this beautiful combination of the two stone cladding products would work.

The corner detail of Norstone’s cladding products was an important feature given the large number of external corners that can be seen on these columns extending skyways.

Positioned in the West Midlands in Brierley Hill, the finished façade is there for everyone to see - this combination may work for you too!.

Norstone's stunning Charcoal XLS stone cladding system has recently been used to great effect at Instinct House, the home of design consultancy firm Instinct Laboratory. Check out the gallery showcasing the striking building and the superb juxtaposition of natural stone cladding and futuristic panelling.

George from Instinct Laboratory comments:

"instinct laboratory is a world leading behavioural design consultancy. With clients ranging from global brands to governments to medical centres to elite performance sports teams, we need an extraordinary place to work that reflects our research and thinking.  

We wanted to create an environment that inspires, energises and promotes effectiveness. Craftsmanship and quality were a priority throughout the build and this is why we chose Norstone for the striking exterior. With the entire place built on feelings and emotions, Norstone Charcoal  XLS was chosen specifically to reflect the ever-changing experience of our business."

Although we are famous for the modern look our natural stone cladding panels provide, we have responded to numerous requests to introduce a traditional rustic product to our catalogue. The ever-popular Ochre and Charcoal colours are supplemented by the stunning tones of our new Aztec (also available in our classic rock panel format).

We have maintained the modular panel system used throughout our product range to combine timeless old-fashioned style with contemporary installation methods. Rustik™ features our trademark interlocking panels and the unique design hides the straight lines caused by concrete back panels. Mesh-mounted stone makes the panels lighter and allows adhesive to be applied directly to the stone.

Suitable for all the usual cladding uses and particularly suited to hard landscaping, barn conversions, fireplaces, cottages and any project that requires that extra level of authenticity.
