Cladding

Cladding is made from various materials, including stone and brick veneer variations.


At Amber, we offer an extensive range of stone, stone-look, and brick veneer cladding.


Natural stone cladding made from limestone, marble, slate, and travertine is known for its strength and resistance to weathering.

Stone-look cladding is made from materials that mimic the appearance of natural stone, so you get the look of stone at a lower cost.

Amber’s stone-look or “veneer stone” cladding is made from reconstituted sandstone. Crushed natural stone and a cementitious binder is moulded into different shapes, sizes, and textures to mimic the look of natural stone.

Our veneer stone cladding options include reproductions of

- Bluestone
- Sandstone
- Slate
- Travertine
- Limestone

Another cladding option is brick veneer, where thin slices of brick are used to give the appearance of a solid brick wall. Veneers are more affordable and easier to install than a solid brick wall.

At Amber, we offer limestone, sandstone, and slate reproduction brick veneers made from reconstituted sandstone.

The best cladding material depends on factors such as budget, maintenance requirements, aesthetic preferences, your home's location, and climate.


Here are some things to consider about different internal and external cladding options.

Can be expensive, heavy, and difficult to install.

Veneer

Cost-effective, lightweight, easy to install, and low maintenance.

May not be as durable as natural materials and often limited design options.

Wood

Australia's most popular cladding used around the exterior and interior of the home is stone cladding.

Stone cladding adds a natural and long lasting aesthetic to any decor, be it traditional or contemporary, suiting most Australian homes.

Various natural stones are used for stone cladding, including granite, limestone, sandstone, slate, and travertine. The specific type of stone used depends on availability, cost, and aesthetic preferences.

At Amber, we offer natural stone cladding options in a range of textures and colours, including

- White
- Ivory
- Cream
- Sand
- Terracotta
- Brown
- Light Grey
- Grey
- Charcoal

We also offer veneer stone options that mimic the look of natural stone, including limestone, sandstone, and slate. The result is lightweight and durable cladding with the appearance of natural stone at an affordable price.

Our veneer stone is made from reconstituted sandstone and has been designed to improve with age. When unsealed, it takes on an authentically aged patina after years of weathering. On the other hand, simply seal the stone with a sealer to retain the fresh quarried look and enhance its natural colours.
