A façade made of natural stone fits perfectly with the other modern materials used to build façades, such as metal, glass, and is a very good way to emphasise the higher standard of the building. That is why more and more architects and investors turn to this material in the design of hotels, banks, exclusive housing estates and other public buildings. Our company makes façade panels of sandstone, granite and limestone. The edges of the panels may be plain, chamfered or bevelled (by chamfering or bevelling the edge, we obtain the effect of rustication). To enrich the decorative value of the materials, we use the different finish textures of the processed materials: polished, ground, bush hammered, split face, flamed, grooved.
This type of façades are mounted using adhesive mortar or steel anchors, or framework. The second type of mounting is particularly popular around the world in buildings with large cladding areas. It provides a continuous movement of air between the thermo-insulated wall of the building and the stone façade, which prevents the formation of efflorescence on the surface of the stone and speeds up the exhaust of moisture contained in it.
2) SPLIT STONE
Sandstone panels with a thickness of about 2-3 cm, available in two versions; - face and back surface split (mounted on cement mortar) - Face surface split, back surface cut (mounted on adhesive mortar)
Dimensions of panels; - width 15 cm, length variable - width 10 cm, length variable - length and width various it is possible to order custom size split face stone
3) SPLIT FACE STONE WITH RAGGED EDGES
Sandstone panels with a thickness of about 2-3 cm. The back surface is cut, the face is split, edges are ragged. Mounted on adhesive mortar with or without grout.
Dimensions of panels; - width 15 cm, length variable - width 10 cm, length variable - various length and width

4) SPLIT FACE STONE WITH BEVELLED EDGES
Sandstone panels with a thickness of about 2-3 cm. The back surface is cut, the face surface is split, edges are bevelled to a uniform thickness. Mounted on adhesive mortar without grout.
5) RANDOM-LAID SANDSTONE
Sandstone with the back and face surface split and irregular shapes, for cladding façades, plinths, chimneys, low walls, etc.
6) SPLIT SANDSTONE - STRIPS
Split sandstone in the form of strips. The face surface is split, the back is cut or split. Width - on request (not less than 4-5 cm), length - various, thickness about 3-4 cm. Mounted on mortar without grout.
7) DOLOMITE - STRIPS
Croatian dolomite cut into strips of various widths thickness about 3-4cm. Rear surface smooth, face surface split.
8) DOLOMIT - IRREGULAR PIECES
Croatian dolomite in the form of irregular shapes and thickness of about 2 and 4 cm. The 2-cm pieces are suitable for cladding plinths, façades, low walls, etc. while the 4-cm pieces for laying paths, terraces.
9) IRREGULAR SERPENTINITE (ITALIAN)
Serpentinite is a very strong material suitable for both wall and plinth cladding, and for horizontal facing of terraces, paths.
10) BROKEN SANDSTONE WITH A NATURAL SURFACE
Another proposal for the use in cladding of façades, low walls, chimneys, is the Carpathian sandstone, broken, with an irregular natural surface.
