Fruitlands Lightweight 40mm Veneer Schist Cladding

David Packman from Southern Stonemasons Canterbury Ltd, purchased direct from our Fruitlands Schist Stone Quarry in the heart of Central Otago, New Zealand our Lightweight 40mm Schist Veneer cladding for a project in Christchurch.

His client had purchased a new home but didn’t like the decorative block.  They used the Fruitlands Lightweight 40mm Veneer Cladding to hide the blocks.

Where restriction in weight and height prohibit the use of guillotine cut 180mm schist stone we can cut an individual stone to a lightweight 40mm schist veneer by using a diamond saw to cut the face of the stone.

We can cut “L” shaped corners and flats.

Our Lightweight Schist Veneer can be fitted to many substrates.  It can be installed either very closely or spaced out and filled with mortar.

The warmer tones look fantastic with the cedar timber - the end result looks outstanding!

Well done David Packman from Southern

Stonemasons Canterbury and your team of stonemasons.

Fruitlands Schist - Landscaping Retaining Wall

Chunky Schist Stones for a dry stack landscaped retaining wall was the request!

Our Fruitlands Quarry can do special requests of any size stones.

Chunky 200 - 250mm long Schist Stone

The client purchased the stone direct from our Fruutlands Quarries and he contracted Matt Earney from Central Landscaping and Irrigation to complete his drystone stack landscaping wall project.

We arranged for a Hiab to deliver the schist stone onsite in Clyde.

The end result certainly adds value to your property. Virtually maintenance free and looks much better than a sloping hill.

Fruitlands Lightweight 40mm Veneer Schist Stone Cladding

A sneak preview of this fireplace where height and weight restrictions meant traditional cut schist stone is problematic to install.

We used our traditional Fruitlands Schist Stone from our Fruitland’s Quarry that we guillotined, and then using our diamond blade saw to cut the face off to produce a 40mm thick veneer.

This photograph is a prime example of Pembrook Schist installing our Lightweight Fruitlands Veneer with a wide joint and then flush pointed in a creamy white colour to achieve a contemporary appearance.
