If you’re looking to give your boring walls an upgrade or simply desire to transform a retaining wall into a feature, Traditional Wall Cladding is an excellent way to give the old, a new look.
Unlike our other types of Wall Cladding like organic loose wall cladding, crazy wall cladding, stacked stone wall cladding and stone panels – all of which add a contemporary touch to a wall – Traditional Wall Cladding, while created using similar modern technology, gives a more traditional look.
So if your home has a more old-school aesthetic, installing traditional wall cladding will blend well with your overall design. This stone wall cladding is available in a variety of finishes and sizes, manufactured to the highest quality on the market.
Armstone’s Traditional Wall Cladding range includes the Rosetta Limestone, made using traditional stonemason methods combined with modern design and cutting edge manufacturing techniques.
Possible applications for traditional wall cladding include decorating your home’s exterior walls and balustrades, framing the entrance to your home, creating a feature wall in your patio or poolscape, decorating water features or fireplaces in your backyard or living room.
Whatever you choose to spruce up, your wall will definitely look a million dollars, without the added price tag. Why? Because unlike building a wall from scratch, which requires skill, time and a higher investment, installing traditional wall cladding is a much simpler process. Traditional Wall Cladding comes ready to install, with one side of the stone resembling a natural stone and the backing sawn flat, ready to be attached to your retaining wall.
As you can see, if you want to add value to your property or simply upgrade its features, traditional wall cladding is an excellent investment to bring a unique yet traditional flavour to your retaining walls.
With the beautiful natural undulations and markings on these stones, it’s easy to see why they are a popular product amongst builders and home owners alike.

Stone wall cladding is an exceptional way of protecting both exterior and interior walls. Available in a wide range of colours, textures, shapes and formats, natural stone cladding adds monumental natural beauty wherever it is installed.
Some other advantages of stone cladding is that it’s waterproof, fireproof, extremely durable in all weather conditions, and provides a high level of insulation – keeping your home a little warmer in winter, and a little cooler in summer. Unlike building a stone wall from scratch, stone cladding gives the same effect without the time and labour cost required, all the while instantly transforming a plain wall, into the home’s feature space.
Stone cladding is naturally beautiful and doesn’t really need to be painted. However, if you really want to change (or highlight) it’s colour, it is very easy to paint. Preparing natural stones for painting doesn’t require much, and you can prepare them in three simple steps: first, clean the stones with soap and water or a non-acidic cleaning solution. Second, use an acrylic latex primer to prepare the surface, and finally, use a spray bottle to lightly mist the stone’s surface to prevent the paint from soaking into the naturally porous stone.
Alternatively, you can use masonry paint, which bonds with stone and forms a natural weatherproof layer. Once you’ve prepared the stone and allowed the paint to dry, coat it with sealant for more protection. This will add up to 25 years to the lifetime of your stone cladding!

Stone wall cladding is easy to clean. First, use a stiff plastic brush to remove dirt from the stone surface’s, and then use a mild, non-acidic soap or detergent and gently wipe/scrub the stone. We strongly recommend avoiding pressure cleaning, wire brushes, acidic detergents, and sandblasting, as all of these will damage the stone.
