Norstone brings the Rustik™ charm...

27/3/2019

0 Comments

 

A unique choice for a hand crafted, artisan look

Picture
Norstone Rustik™ stone cladding Range, namely the Charcoal and Ochre, has just been approved for Norstone's System warranty with Laticrete and Knauf.

This warranty/Guarantee is for both internal and external stone cladding surfaces. It has taken many years to develop a Rustik™ stone cladding range, which is easy to install and does not have the horizontal lines, which is normally seen in a lot of competing products. There is no concrete backing, just purely 100% natural stone.

If you are affixing Rustik™, you now have the added benefit of a Guarantee/warranty from Laticrete/Knauf within the Norstone system.

In order for these to be valid, installation must be in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations which can be viewed on the Norstone Masterguide.
 
The new Norstone Rustik™ Range which is now officially launched this Spring / Summer  will provide stone cladding buyers with a real alternative to the existing choices that currently available within this market. The Rustik™ can now be applied to external standard concrete block work or brick work. It now can be also applied to the Knauf Aqua exterior boarding, which allows for timber and steel framing to be introduced within the project design.
 
The Norstone Rustik™ all natural stone cladding construction creates a look that can normally only be achieved with a stone mason's expertise and skill. Now this new stone panel system can be installed by a skilled tradesperson who has the eye for detail.

It is truly an innovative new stone cladding product from Norstone and opens up a world of new design opportunites.

Rustik™ is available in Charcoal, Ochre Blend (external and internal) and Aztec (internal only)

Xmas comes once a year… but this year it has come early as Norstone announces their new architecturally inspired Planc™ stone cladding range.
 
The Planc™ range consists of beautiful Lava Stone in both Platinum and Graphite colourways, stunningly smooth Basalt in both grey and Ebony and finally classical, crisp Silver Grey Quartz.
 
They come in sets all 800mm in length, with 3 different heights, namely, 140mm, 80mm, and 60mm. The Planc™ modular panels are all separate pieces of stone that allows the design to be flexible and harmonious to the designers and your wishes.
 
They may be grouted, butt jointed, horizontal, vertical, staggered vertical seams or simply aligned vertical seams. It is possible with the one stone to have at least 6 styles for maximum versatility. For a full breakdown on the large format veneer Planc™ range, visit the Planc™ overview page.
 
Having your desired stone in different formats allows style and choice while maintaining the same luxurious language that Norstone is known for around the globe.

Norstone stone cladding ranges incorporate both contemporary and also rustic, catering for all tastes and styles within the market. Our stone cladding systems also offer incredible versatility, from sleek, geometric tiles such as Aksent™ and Planc™, to modular, large-scale format formats including XLX Rock Panel™ and Rustik™. With such a diverse range, it’s critical to have a thorough and well-understood methodology for both installation and aftercare.
 
Our many years as leading UK stone cladding suppliers means we have developed an extensive, highly effective technical application guide based on real-world feedback from our commercial partners and our approved materials distributors.  It is really important, whether it is on a commercial scale or a small private dwelling, that your project is protected by reputable, long-standing warranties and guarantees – Norstone have partnerships with our preferred suppliers, Laticrete International and Knauf.
 
When installed to the technical specifications and using the correct substrates, the combined Knauf / Laticrete warranty is good for a staggering 25 years! Because of these warranties, many of the UK’s leading architects and interior designers work closely with Norstone before choosing a stone cladding range suitable for their project.
 
Design projects that feature stone cladding surfaces can differ greatly, due to technical considerations such as proximity to the sea, cliff top locations, etc. Certain weight restrictions may mean timber or steel frames are required, this often requires working closely with our partners to develop a suitable system warranty that satisfies the most discerning architect, but more importantly, you.
 
We will not only sell you lifestyle choices, but more importantly, our natural stone cladding ranges are backed by warranties which will stand the test of time. Remember, stone cladding and warranties go hand in hand at Norstone.

Lynia™ Stone Cladding: recommended installation method for best results

27/9/2018

0 Comments

 
Picture
Norstone’s brand new Lynia™ Range consists of exciting new textures and colours, fit for any living or exterior spaces. The colour range caters for the most discerning home lover or developer. They are, grey and ebony Basalt, Lava stone in Platinum and Graphite, Marble in Glacier White and Latte (also known as beige), while the Silver grey in quartzite is stunning. This all new natural stone cladding range is another example of why Norstone is the Market leader.

The Lynia™ Range now has mitred external corners to save time on site and to allow for a complete corner installation system. Welcome to the Norstone world of high quality stone cladding systems.
 
We have produced a simple Installation guide with pictures to allow correct installation methods are employed. We always suggest a skilled tiler should install using a wet saw.

The methodology should be followed as outlined in the following pictures and text.

Step-by-step Guide

Note: This process was completed with Platinum/Graphite Lava Stone in the Lynia™ range.
Picture
STEP 1
We recommend you apply LavaSeal prior to installation and grouting. Start by sealing the Lavastone panels with a lint free cloth or similar, one coat, when dry apply second coat.
Picture
STEP 2
Ensure that you have completely covered the surface with the first coat, as shown. Wait to dry.
Picture
STEP 3
Now dry and ready to be adhered to substrate, no colour change when dry.
Picture
STEP 4
Screeded substrate with 6mm notched trowel, a thin bed is required to stop any adhesive squeezing through the gaps when the stone is applied. The compressed bedding adhesive should be less than 10mm or less. Also recommended, a thin bed applied to back of Norstone tile as well.

Picture
STEP 5
Applying the Lavastone and using a grout float to pat it down on the surface to ensure full contact.

Picture
STEP 6
Fixed Lavastone waiting for adhesive to dry and then grouted.

Picture
Picture
Picture
STEP 7
Applying the grout, you can see why it would be impossible to avoid filling the holes and why it was necessary to pre-seal.

Picture
Picture
Step 8
Cleaning off excess grout. This is a much more simple process when working with a pre-sealed surface.
Picture
Picture
Step 9
The panel shows the visual difference with once section completed with light grey grout and the other done in dark grey grout.
Picture
IN SUMMARY...
With Lynia™, and other stone cladding panels requiring grouting, it is our recommendation that you pre-seal as above. This will make sure the grouting material cannot become permanently stuck to the main surfaces of the panels and makes the cleaning up process much more straightforward. For more details, please visit the Lynia™ range.

Our new Aksent™ range  - uncompromisingly contemporary.

We’ve responded to demand to broaden our 3D Basalt range with new colours and materials - our grey and ebony basalt 3D XLX wall tiles have been augmented by quartz, lava stone and marble stone cladding tiles in beige, white and grey.

Our grey and ebony classics have proved very popular with architects and builders alike, and the success and demand for a wider colour range inspired us to create the new Aksent™ range. Every colour has the same Norstone characteristics of precision engineered modular natural stone panels of the highest quality allied with our unique interlocking fingerjointed corners allowing for supreme ease of installation and a seamless finish. Like all Norstone stone cladding products, the Aksent™ range comes with a unique warranty if correctly affixed using Laticrete MVIS products.

These modern wall tiles are perfect for contemporary commercial and residential use and are suitable for both interior and exterior use. Our original best-selling grey and ebony in basalt are still available and the full range includes a beautiful beige Latte in smooth as silk marble, a classic ice white Glacier marble, lava stone tiles in Platinum and a slightly darker Graphite grey, and a quartz tile in Silver Grey.

Please contact us (sales@norstoneuk.com) for further details. 150mm x 150mm samples and full size panels are available to order from our website and are delivered via FedEx 24 hour courier service. Orders received before noon are usually delivered the next working day.

Norstone Stone Cladding – ideal for fireplace surrounds!

30/8/2018

0 Comments

 
Are you looking for fireplace ideas? We’ve got an excellent option for you to consider if you are building a fireplace.
 
The fireplace, in both traditional and modern contemporary homes, is a design feature that can easily add the wow factor to your home. Modern materials and installation techniques allow for rapid, cost effective fireplace designs that can look spectacular yet cost a fraction of hand-carved, solid stone mantles. Fireplace surrounds and chimney breasts are among the most popular uses of Norstone stone cladding panels. The standout, raw beauty of the stone is ideal for creating a wonderful talking point and the low maintenance, durability and strength of the cladding means is perfectly suited to the task.
 
Unlike some fake or artificial fireplaces, a natural stone clad fireplace looks and acts like the real deal. You can install stone cladding panels around traditional chimney, contemporary free-standing and wood burning fireplaces. Norstone stone cladding tiles and panels can be used for wall cladding in extreme climates, such as 40 to 50 degrees Celsius, such as that found in a fireplace veneer, however, the stone cladding must be installed on the outward facing areas of a fireplace, and never exposed to a direct flame.
 
One key feature that makes Norstone’s stone cladding system so brilliant for fireplace installation is our unique, finger locking corner system – this allows you to create perfectly finished, tidy and seamless corners with minimal fuss – most other retailers cannot provide a corner solution.
 
We have a video that demonstrates the wide styles of fireplace décor you can achieve with our cladding systems, and we also show how easy and time-effective the installation process can be:
Suitable for internal and exterior fireplace designs, building a fireplace with stone cladding panels can be a quick project that has a long-lasting impact on your property. Norstone stone cladding is available for fireplace installations in a range of stunning colours and finishes; from cool, modern white to minimalist Charcoal to the more traditional Ochre Blend. Smooth, dense ebony Aksent™ surfaces will give you a slick, sophisticated look, whereas XLS Rock Panel™ in rough, textured Aztec is for the bold and daring.
 
Make the fireplace the true focal point of your room; just a few square metres of Norstone natural stone cladding can create a modern fireplace.

Norstone's enhanced and expanded Lynia™ range

31/7/2018

0 Comments

 

After the hugely successful  launch of our original Basalt Interlocking tile range we decided to expand the concept into a new Lynia™ range and add marble, quartzite and lava stone to mirror our recently expanded Aksent™ range.

Although still comprised mainly of the monochrome tones beloved of architects and designers, we bowed to public demand and added a classic white (Glacier) and beige (Latte). Mesh-mounted and in modular form, on-site application is straightforward and quick.

Possessing all the classic Norstone stone cladding trademarks - ease of use, precision engineered, hassle-free corners and dual warranties - these high quality, beautifully finished natural stone panels will grace any project with their elegance.

Lynia™ is a perfect fit for an uncompromisingly ultra-modern, contemporary finish - indoor or out.
