Sienna™ Tungsten Porcelain Cladding

In the world of contemporary architecture, materials play a pivotal role in shaping the aesthetics and functionality of buildings. One material that has gained significant popularity in recent years is porcelain cladding. This versatile and elegant cladding material has revolutionized the way architects and designers approach exterior and interior design.

The Tungsten Porcelain Cladding is just one of six brand-new Porcelain Cladding within our Sienna™ Porcelain Cladding range. Within the collection, you will also find, Quartz Crema, Quartz Grey, Rustic Quartz, Black Slate and finally, Grey Slate.

What Is Porcelain Cladding?

Porcelain cladding, often referred to as porcelain tiles, is a type of ceramic tile made from a specific type of clay that is fired at extremely high temperatures. The result is a dense, durable, and low-porosity material that is well-suited for cladding applications. Porcelain tiles can be used for both exterior and interior cladding and are available in various sizes, colours, and finishes to meet diverse design requirements.

Porcelain Cladding Properties

Durability

Porcelain cladding is known for its exceptional durability. The firing process at high temperatures creates a dense and non-porous material, making it resistant to moisture, stains, and impact. It can withstand extreme weather conditions, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications.

Low Maintenance

Porcelain cladding requires minimal maintenance. Its non-porous surface prevents the absorption of liquids, reducing the risk of staining. Regular cleaning with water and mild detergents is usually sufficient to maintain its appearance.

Aesthetic Versatility

Porcelain tiles are available in a wide range of colours, patterns, and finishes. Whether you desire a sleek, modern look or a more traditional appearance, there is a porcelain cladding option to suit your design vision.

Size Options

Porcelain cladding comes in various sizes, including large-format tiles that can create a seamless and visually striking surface with fewer grout lines.

Fire Resistance

Porcelain is inherently fire-resistant, making it a safe choice for cladding applications in buildings.

Advantages of Porcelain Cladding

Aesthetics

Porcelain cladding can transform the appearance of a building. It can mimic the look of natural stone, wood, metal, or other materials, providing a vast array of design possibilities. Its sleek, modern appearance is particularly favoured in contemporary architecture.

Weather Resistance

Its resistance to moisture, UV rays, and temperature variations make porcelain cladding an excellent choice for both exterior and interior applications.

Longevity

The durability and low-maintenance nature of porcelain cladding contribute to its long lifespan, ensuring that it retains its appearance and integrity for years.

Sustainability

Many porcelain cladding products are manufactured using environmentally friendly processes and materials. Its long lifespan and recyclability make it an eco-conscious choice.

Versatility

Porcelain cladding can be used in a variety of architectural applications, including facades, wall cladding, flooring, countertops, and more.

Porcelain Cladding for your Home & Garden

Whether you own a contemporary property or aim to enhance its modern appeal, incorporating the Sienna™ Tungsten can significantly elevate your home's aesthetics. Many larger properties feature simple rendered walls in neutral tones like grey, white, or beige. To prevent a monotonous appearance, Cladding offers a versatile solution, adding diversity to your space.

If you're hesitant to alter the front facade of your property, consider embellishing the back or the side facing your garden. Installing cladding on these walls can create a modern, cohesive look. You might also contemplate matching paving in a similar colour to enhance the overall aesthetic.

Unused walls within your garden, such as a garage wall, provide an ideal canvas for cladding. Transforming these plain surfaces can instantly liven up the space, bringing a modern touch to your garden and harmonizing with the surrounding elements.

For those considering a feature wall with cladding, consider enhancing the surrounding area with Decorative Stones. Our diverse range of stones in various colours allows you to choose those that complement the cladding. Additionally, we offer Chippings and Pebbles in different sizes, enabling easy colour coordination and decoration. The silver-grey hue of the cladding also pairs well with our Natural Stone Paving and Porcelain Paving options.

How to Install Porcelain Cladding

While we typically recommend hiring a professional for landscaping or cladding projects, these porcelain cladding panel pieces are relatively lightweight. Installing them on a plain, secure wall is a straightforward task that an experienced DIY enthusiast can handle.

After accurately measuring the installation spot for your porcelain cladding, visit our website, depots, or contact us by phone to purchase the required amount. We offer a return service for unused cladding pieces within 28 days of purchase, provided they are in resalable condition.

Prepare your wall by sanding the area to ensure a clean surface without flaky pieces or loose debris. Next, lay out the cladding segments to plan their arrangement on the wall, considering the thickness range of 7mm to 11mm for a natural and rustic appearance.

Some tile parts may overhang, requiring a high-quality tile cutter to trim any excess pieces; note that we cannot refund these pieces. Use tile adhesive and a trowel to apply the adhesive to the wall (available in our depots). Apply the cladding pieces at a 45-degree angle to ensure a thick adhesive layer on the wall.

The cladding tiles are not perfect rectangles; the bottom half is slightly staggered to create the illusion of natural joints. Start laying the tiles from one corner, adhering to the floor blueprint. The cladding is designed to be butt-jointed, eliminating the need for adhesive or grout between joints. Press each piece firmly onto the wall to ensure a secure bond.

Allow the wall and cladding to rest for a few hours before checking the progress. Keep the area as dry as possible for 24 hours to facilitate complete drying.
