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!.

Our Ochre Blend range, as well as being (along with Charcoal) our biggest selling rock panels, are our most versatile stone cladding. Widely used with both modern and traditional kitchens, rustic and modern interiors (particularly feature walls and fireplaces), it is also used extensively in gardens and landscaping with its rich, warm hues complementing the natural colours of gardens all year round. clients love the way it reflects light in Spring and Summer and its subtle autumnal tones are perfect for the winter months.

The beauty of Ochre Blend is both its compatibility with its surroundings and also its ability to provide a stunning contrast - see how a relatively small amount can also highlight and lift a modern, rendered building.

Perhaps the biggest trend we've noticed lately is architects and designers blending it with wood to give a perfectly balanced, harmonious feel to buildings’ exteriors and outdoor areas. We feel this works particularly well and if you need advice on the best way to achieve this, please  contact us.
