Don’t just follow everyone else, create a unique feature wall and make a statement. There are many elements that can make your home unique. The use of a well-executed feature wall can truly transform your home which would impress everyone. Stone wall cladding Sydney is one of the most popular and effective materials people use to decorate feature walls. But it’s important that you make sure that you install it correctly. Please read on.

Being aware of the safety issues when installing stone wall cladding Sydney on a feature wall is very important. This is because it often reaches very high and there is often frequent foot traffic nearby. If a whole panel of stack stones fell off a wall, it could lead to a disaster. While people commonly use stone wall cladding / stackstone as a feature wall material, the thickness of the product means it’s very heavy in weight. It may weigh upwards of 50kg per square metre.

To fix such a heavy material like stackstone on a vertical wall, it is essential that you choose the right type of adhesive. We recommend talking to one of our expert staff about which adhesive would best suit your tiling project needs.

If you are installing stackstone on a high wall such as a feature wall, it’s also suggested that metal angles are used to break the pressure applied to the wall and the ground. With hundreds of kilograms of weight on a vertical wall, it would certainly help to give some extra support.
