In the realm of modern architecture, materials wield considerable influence over the form and function of buildings. Porcelain cladding, a material that has surged in popularity, plays a crucial role in shaping both the aesthetics and functionality of contemporary structures. This adaptable and sophisticated cladding has transformed the approaches of architects and designers in both exterior and interior design.

Alongside Quartz Crema, the range includes Tungsten, Quartz Grey, Rustic Quartz, Black Slate, and Grey Slate, each contributing distinct qualities to elevate the overall design possibilities.

What Is Porcelain Cladding?
Porcelain cladding, commonly known as porcelain tiles, represents a ceramic tile variety crafted from a specific clay type subjected to exceptionally high temperatures during firing. This process yields a dense, robust, and low-porosity material, making it ideal for cladding purposes. Suitable for both external and internal applications, porcelain tiles come in a range of sizes, colours, and finishes, catering to a broad spectrum of design needs.

Porcelain Cladding Properties
Durability

Renowned for its outstanding durability, porcelain cladding undergoes a high-temperature firing process, resulting in a dense and non-porous material. This characteristic renders it resistant to moisture, stains, and impact, allowing it to endure harsh weather conditions—making it a versatile choice for both indoor and outdoor applications.

Low Maintenance

Porcelain cladding demands minimal maintenance due to its non-porous surface, which prevents liquid absorption and reduces the risk of staining. Routine cleaning with water and mild detergents typically suffices to preserve its appearance over time.

Aesthetic Versatility

With a diverse array of colours, patterns, and finishes, porcelain tiles offer unparalleled aesthetic versatility. Whether aspiring for a sleek, modern ambience or a more traditional allure, porcelain cladding provides options that align with your unique design preferences.

Size Options

Porcelain cladding is available in various sizes, including large-format tiles. This range allows for the creation of seamless and visually striking surfaces with fewer grout lines, providing flexibility in design applications.

Fire Resistance

Inherently fire-resistant, porcelain stands as a secure choice for cladding applications in buildings, ensuring safety and reliability in diverse architectural contexts.

Advantages of Porcelain Cladding
Aesthetics

Porcelain cladding has the transformative power to redefine a building's visual appeal. Emulating the textures of natural stone, wood, metal, and other materials, opens up a wide spectrum of design possibilities. Particularly favoured in contemporary architecture, its sleek and modern appearance adds a distinctive touch to structures.

Weather Resistance

Resistant to moisture, UV rays, and temperature fluctuations, porcelain cladding proves to be an excellent option for both exterior and interior applications. Its ability to withstand diverse weather conditions ensures long-lasting aesthetic and structural integrity.

Longevity

The enduring nature of porcelain cladding, stemming from its durability and low-maintenance characteristics, contributes to an extended lifespan. This quality guarantees that the cladding maintains its original appearance and structural integrity over the years.

Sustainability

Many porcelain cladding products are crafted using environmentally friendly processes and materials. With a lengthy lifespan and recyclable properties, it stands as an environmentally conscious choice, aligning with sustainable design principles.

Versatility

Porcelain cladding's adaptability extends across various architectural applications, encompassing facades, wall cladding, flooring, countertops, and more. Its versatility makes it a go-to option for designers and architects seeking flexible and functional solutions.

Porcelain Cladding for your Home & Garden
Whether you own a modern residence or aspire to enhance its contemporary allure, the incorporation of Sienna™ Quartz Crema can significantly elevate the aesthetic appeal of your home. Many expansive properties often showcase unembellished rendered walls in neutral tones such as cream, off-white, or beige. To counteract a monotonous appearance, cladding provides a versatile solution, injecting diversity into your living space.

If you're hesitant about modifying the front facade, consider enhancing the rear or the side facing your garden. Applying cladding to these surfaces can create a modern and unified look. Additionally, contemplating matching paving in a similar colour can further enhance the overall aesthetic.

Unused walls within your garden, like a garage wall, serve as an ideal canvas for cladding. Transforming these plain surfaces can instantly breathe life into the space, introducing a modern touch to your garden that harmonizes with the surrounding elements.

For those contemplating a feature wall with cladding, consider elevating the surrounding area with decorative stones. Our diverse range, featuring various colours, allows you to select stones that complement the cladding. Furthermore, our offering of chippings and pebbles in different sizes facilitates easy colour coordination and decoration. The cream-beige hue of the cladding also pairs seamlessly with our natural stone paving and porcelain paving options.

How to Install Porcelain Cladding
While our recommendation typically leans towards hiring professionals for landscaping or cladding projects, these porcelain cladding panel pieces are relatively lightweight. If you're an experienced DIY enthusiast, installing them on a plain and secure wall is a manageable task.

To begin, accurately measure the installation spot for your porcelain cladding. You can then visit our website, and depots, or contact us by phone to purchase the necessary amount. We provide a return service for unused cladding pieces within 28 days of purchase, as long as they remain in resalable condition.

Prepare the wall by sanding the area to ensure a clean surface free of flaky pieces or loose debris. 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.

In cases where certain tile parts may overhang, a high-quality tile cutter is necessary to trim any excess pieces. It's important to note that we cannot refund these trimmed pieces. Utilize tile adhesive and a trowel, available in our depots, to apply the adhesive to the wall. Apply the cladding pieces at a 45-degree angle to ensure a thick adhesive layer on the wall.

Given that the cladding tiles are not perfect rectangles, the bottom half is slightly staggered to create the illusion of natural joints. Begin 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. Maintain the area as dry as possible for 24 hours to facilitate complete drying.
