Today's Architects love to push the boundaries, and in the case of Rhombus Corners, these are also changing shape.  Traditionally, corners are 90 degree vertical structures, but sometimes designs call for sloping (Rhombus Corners) rather than sheer vertical angle. Luckily, this complex effect can now be installed using our high quality Natural Stone cladding systems.

As the photos above show, with skilled tilers, Rhombus Corners can be installed using the Norstone Classic Rock Panel™. We already offered our time-saving interlocking fingerjoint corners, and now our rock panel cladding system can also be applied to angled corners for sloping walls and vertical stacks such as this chimney.

If your Project requires Rhombus Corners, talk to us at Norstone, and we will help achieve your dream design.

The versatility and ease of installation of Norstone stone cladding is something that is highly valued by architects and designers from all spectrums of interior and exterior design industries and today we are proud to showcase a very attractive use of Norstone SLIMLINE (SL) Rock Panel™ cladding.

Aspen Lodges Ltd is a small company based in Wickersley who serve the South Yorkshire region. They specialise in the design and build of unique timber framed and SIP panel garden buildings. 

The Ochre slimline stone panel cladding, supplied by Norstone, was specified on this building along with the other high specification materials to create a stunning garden room and a nod towards the mid-century modern style.

Aspen Lodges would be happy to discuss your next garden room project and can be contacted on 07447000079.

Or you can view their gallery of additional projects at: www.aspenlodges.co.uk.

As the gallery above demonstrates, our cladding works beautifully with the timber and the large glass frontage, delivering a stunning look and with Norstone's unique fingerjointed corners, the installation process for wrapround corners is a straightforward process.

If you are considering an outdoor garden building, we hope you have been inspired!

It's not just people who wish to be Fashionably Slim. Its no longer the prerogative of Twiggy to be Slim, but now Norstone has got into the act with it's expansion of the Norstone Slimline (SL) Range.

Coming to a catwalk near you, is the launch of the Off White Slim Rock Panel™.

With all the characteristics of the Norstone® precision machine cut panels, the new Off White Slimline (SL), allows the tiler to achieve the perfect wall of stone cladding at a lower price point. The vertical and horizontal lines are virtually seamless for a complete natural stone surface finish.

The all new Off White Quartzite Slimline panel has the same dimensions of 610mm in length, 152mm in height and up to 30mm thick. The inherent benefit of the slimline range allows all projects to spec the Norstone Rock Panel™, even for the most restrictive budgets.

The slimline range (SL) is now the new word for bold and beauty in interior design. Make that boring wall come to life with the Norstone Slim Range, the new off-white finish is also complimented by our existing shades, Ochre Blend and Charcoal - you can even mix and match styles depending on the unique style you are seeking.

Norstone's Slim (SL) range of Rock Panel™ Stone Cladding will allow you to achieve beautiful and long-lasting natural stone walls at an affordable price; all backed by our industry leading warranties.

Partner with Norstone on your project to maximise the quality and desirability of your interior design vision.

Norstone Slim Range, The Fashionable Choice...

We're always on the lookout for great projects that use Norstone's high quality cladding in real-world projects. In this blog, we are focusing on Parr Construction, based in Stockport, who have recently completed the High Lane project, above.

An ultra modern property with an imposing scale, the High Lane house is a very attractive design with a well chosen palette of materials and finishes. Our fantastic slimline charcoal Rock Panel™ cladding is complimented with quality stone cills, contrasting with  crisp white K-Rend. The sophisticated façades on the property are further enhanced by seamless Cedral cladding and a luxurious cantilevered lead roof (have a look at the project photo gallery below to get the full effect).

The final result is stunning - we're sure you'll agree.

The Parr Construction team have expertly installed the rock panel cladding with brilliant detail and attention, making sure it is an integral part of the overall project, as well as giving the property a standout wow factor upon arrival.

This is a Project yet to be completed however the use of Ochre XLV, Softens and compliments a high end build.
Here in these pictures is a perfect example that demonstrates how Norstone Cladding can transform common features normally considered eyesores, such as garaging, into a focal point of an architecturally inspired home.
The gallery here shows how the cladding Rock Panels™ not only incorporate the garage into the design, but rather it becomes part of the overall gorgeous design of this new build. This is done solely through the use of Norstone Ochre XLV stone cladding.

These three pictures have been taken at exactly the same time and yet, you can see how the different light changes the look of the Ochre XLV stone cladding. With the direct sunlight, the Ochre XLV has a soft Cotswold Sandstone effect, while in areas of no sunlight, the Ochre XLV embodies the more rustic hues, mixed with soft burnt orange, with a light contemporary grey. It is truly a masterpiece waiting for its new home owners to also enjoy and no doubt, enjoy bragging rights.
 
We at Norstone truly take pride in our Guaranteed and Warrantied installations, bring new joy but more importantly, new design concepts into the ever increasing usage of stone cladding for premium modern external design.

A wonderful modern private home, built with a perfectly restrained palette of darks, greys and charcoal. Norstone XLS Rock Panel cladding features extensively, inside and out. The photo gallery demonstrates the harmonious combinations of charcoal cladding, metal panel cladding and more streamlined tiled cladding. Combined together they build a strong look of contrasting textures, all united by the monochromatic colour scheme.

Applied to the outer walls, in particular around the main entrance, the highly practical cladding panels and corner units allowed the architects to achieve statuesque column styling with ease. Internally, the XLS charcoal makes a stunning statement when combined with the ultra modern floating glass staircase - it is also used in the swimming pool area, casting intriguing reflections on the water surface and grounding the space well.

Designed by Helyer Davies Architects, this stunning contemporary build is well worth exploring:
