This natural stone has a texture that gives any building both warmth and masculinity.
Schist is the perfect choice for anyone looking to add some timeless beauty to their home. Because schist lasts for centuries without losing its strength or needing maintenance, It proves itself as a very cost effective cladding option.
A qualified stonemason will provide a PS3 document to warrant their installation giving you full assurance that your stone work is fully compliant with NZ building code and New Zealand Stonemasons best practice guide.
Schist is a durable metamorphic rock that has been historically used as a building material in New Zealand since the first settlers arrived and have more than proven its fantastic durability under our harsh climate conditions.
New Zealand schist is sourced from local Central Otago quarries and is extracted and processed with a minimal carbon footprint, adding to schist cladding as being one of the most green and ecologically friendly cladding solutions in modern construction to date.
Schist can be used in a wide range of interior and exterior applications from natural stone flooring to structural walling to timeless landscape structures.
Schist has been used in New Zealand for centuries and is the perfect way to give any project that timeless feel while highlighting any home smodern architecture.
Schist is normally installed as a traditional 150mm - 200mm cladding on most buildings or structures. However ,can also be cut down to a 35mm - 40mm stone slip for use as veneers as an alternative solution in places such as chimneys or areas where additional weight is not supported.
We use specialised diamond cutting equipment in our schist quarry to process the schist blocks that are then individually glued onto a pre-prepared substrate by one of our qualified stonemasons
Our fully developed and certified light weight system of cutting and laying this stone provides our customers a warranty to ensure we stand behind our work and our installations will stand the age old test of time.
Schist cladding increases the value remarkably on any project and has proven itself historically, economically and environmentally as possibly the best cladding solutions available in New Zealand.
