Fruitland’s 40mm Lightweight Schist Stone Veneer Cladding - Interior Fireplace

A previous resident of Clyde, located in Central Otago, New Zealand, was in the process of constructing a new home in Rangiora.

The individual wished to incorporate a slice of Central Otago Schist Stone into the building project.

Our 40mm Lightweight Schist Stone Veneer, known for its distinctive warm fawn coloring, proved to be the perfect match for the natural materials utilized in the construction.

The Lightweight Schist Stone Veneer was utilized to construct the fireplace, resulting in a classic finish.

The proficient stonemason skillfully crafted the stone with a racked-out finish, resulting in a clean and polished appearance.

Schist Stone Walling: What is the Typical Thickness?

For customers inquiring about the thickness of our Schist Stone Walling and Corners, it is typically measured from the front of the stone to the back of the stone, corresponding to the required footing for support.

At Alexandra Stone Quarries, we offer a range of thickness options specified by architects or builders, including 180mm up to 250mm. We can also guillotine cut stone to 150mm and cut down anything below to any width using our diamond saw, but please note that schist cut down from 100mm requires an approved backing board.

Our experience has shown that 40mm veneer schist strikes the perfect balance between cladding weight and cut veneer stone fragility.

For all your Schist Stone Walling needs, trust Alexandra Stone Quarries to deliver high-quality products and expert advice.
