What Is Porcelain Cladding?
Porcelain cladding also referred to as porcelain tiles, embodies a ceramic tile variant created from a specialized clay exposed to exceptionally high temperatures during the firing process. This technique produces a dense, sturdy, and low-porosity material, rendering it well-suited for cladding purposes. Adaptable for both external and internal uses, porcelain tiles are available in various sizes, colours, and finishes, catering to a diverse array of design requirements.

Porcelain Cladding Properties
Durability

Celebrated for its exceptional durability, porcelain cladding undergoes a high-temperature firing process, resulting in a dense and non-porous material. This quality makes it resistant to moisture, stains, and impacts, enabling it to withstand harsh weather conditions. As a result, it proves to be a versatile option for both indoor and outdoor applications.

Low Maintenance

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

Aesthetic Versatility

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

Size Options

Porcelain cladding comes 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.

By mimicking the textures of natural stone, wood, metal, and other materials, it opens up a broad spectrum of design possibilities.

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

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

Unused walls within your garden, such as 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 considering a feature wall with cladding, think about elevating the surrounding area with decorative stones. Our diverse range, featuring various colours, allows you to choose stones that complement the cladding. Furthermore, our offering of chippings and pebbles in different sizes facilitates easy colour coordination and decoration. The silver-grey hue of the cladding also pairs seamlessly with our natural stone paving and porcelain paving options.

How to Install Porcelain Cladding
While our general recommendation 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 start, 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 offer a return service for unused cladding pieces within 28 days of purchase, provided 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. Use 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. Keep the area as dry as possible for 24 hours to facilitate complete drying.
