In the second instalment of our ‘Deep Dive’ series we will be looking at OCHRE BLEND. Striking and inviting, it is one of our most popular and versatile stone cladding products; the subtle colour spectrum from light grey to burnt orange makes it suitable for both modern and traditional interiors and is also very widely used in gardens and landscaping. The rustic, rugged appeal of Ochre Blend with its colour palette combine to create a very natural and luxurious effect. OCHRE BLEND cladding is available across our Classic ROCK PANEL™ ranges (including SL slimline, XLS, XLX and XLV) and RUSTIK™ stone cladding.
What makes OCHRE BLEND such a good choice for Norstone stone cladding?
The properties of Ochre Blend stone are what make it perfect for natural stone cladding for walls. It has great resistance to weathering and erosion. It also has high levels of iron which gives it its rich colouration and makes it resistant to stains from water or other liquids. The Ochre Blend rock panels and corner units in Norstone’s ROCK PANEL™ and RUSTIK™ cladding are engineered to create a randomised but harmonious texture, with great variation in depth and colour, which belies the precision cuts that make the cladding panels come together so seamlessly. Ochre Blend stone offers incredible natural longevity making it a sound long-term investment for your home.
Because the stone is dense, it cuts with supreme precision. Once correctly installed, it is difficult to spot the seamless facades. Each stone cladding panel is hand assembled after being precision cut by machine - this ensures ease of installation and also the 100% unique individual appearance of each panel.
7 reasons OCHRE BLEND is ideal for stone cladding projects:
- Precision machine-cut panels fits exactly for precise layouts
- Panels and corner units are fixed size and combine like a jigsaw puzzle
- Cuts accurately to avoid waste and damage
- Ends are L shaped for perfect interlocking tile - no grout required
- Ochre Blend is available in a number of depths from our slimline (SL) style at just 15-30mm to the more rugged and 3D effect of Rustik at 35-45mm
- Qualifies for Warranties/guarantees to be installed onto Knauf using laticrete MVIS Adhesive.
- Rustik™ range provides easy coverage of internal walls and corners for ultimate ease of installation.
Please note: Norstone UK recommends that you treat OCHRE BLEND with a water-based penetrating natural stone sealer to keep it fully protected, clean and low maintenance.
