Why Choose the Stone Wall Cladding For Home?
by Stone Xperts STONEXPERSThe stone walls have always emanated a
particular charm, with their rustic and timeless allure. Until the end of the
nineteenth century, most houses were built with stones, which were then
replaced during the twentieth century by concrete, cheap and versatile.
Today, however, stone walls are back in the
limelight, both as a structural element tout court and wall covering.
Stone walls: cool and insulating
One of the main advantages of stone walls
cladding is maintaining a pleasant temperature in the rooms. In summer, when
the sun is hot, and the heat oppresses, a house built in stone will represent a
cool refuge from the heatwave. While in winter, the stone will protect the
rooms from the bitter cold.
However, it should be emphasized that,
regarding the insulating capacity, the role of stone is more effective in
protecting from heat rather than low temperatures. In the case of old houses,
if an adequate renovation is not carried out, there may be a risk that some
humidity will be created in the rooms.
The stone wall cladding highly
recommended by professionals to maintain a pleasant internal temperature is
andesine, which offers numerous advantages, especially to protect environments
from a tropical climate. Free of mould and mildew, andesine is ideal for those
who do not want to invest in an additional coating to protect the walls from
meld.
Stone walls suitable for any context
The choice of the building - or covering -
natural stone walls must be carefully considered because each type of stone is
suitable for specific environments. For example, some stones are perfect for
covering the walls of very humid rooms, such as the bathroom.
While others - including basalt - easily
absorb moisture, increasing the risk of meld or moss.
For this, you need to make sure you choose the
most suitable natural stone for the environment in which you intend to apply it
to combine your aesthetic projects with the maximum livability of the house.
Stone walls of great aesthetic impact
The anchor wall cladding not
only has advantages in terms of functionality: they are also beautiful to look
at and able to give any type of home a unique personality.
For example, suppose you renovate an old
mountain hut. In that case, the stone walls will be an indispensable element to
give it typicality and character.
At the same time, those who want to create a
luxurious and sophisticated atmosphere in their home can opt for cladding with
stones such as granite, marble or travertine.
This type of coverage can be suitable for any
environment, from the living room (even just for one wall) to the bathroom to
even the outdoors.
Easy to build stone walls
Natural stones are usually cut into slabs, the
edging of which is more or less precise depending on the type of material and
the final use. Currently, edging cuts are becoming more precise, allowing for
easier installation and a neater overall appearance.
We must not forget that stones such as marble
or granite are also available in larger slabs and, although they are on average
more expensive, the larger size allows them to be installed more easily.
The stone wall cladding is
unique, with different shades, textures and veins, a peculiarity that makes
stone walls one of the most original elements capable of offering to your home,
regardless of the landscape in which it is located and the chosen furnishing
style, character, personality and a timeless style.
