About Stone Wall Cladding

Natural stone walling is a kind of wall treatment that has the look of tile but without the severe flaws of full stone walls. It nevertheless has the natural beauty and sheen of a stone finish. The process of placing a layer of wall cladding stones onto another surface results in stone veneers, or ornamental wall coverings.
