Stone and Slate Cladding

Stone and Slate Cladding

At The Tile Emporium we are dedicated to delivering natural stone and slate cladding that is of the highest quality. Stone cladding is making a firm comeback and offers stunning textures and shades to homes inside and out. It innovatively transforms exteriors and interiors.

Stylish Modern Cladding

Unlike the old fashioned crazy-paving-style stone cladding, modern day stone and slate cladding alternatives are much more stylish. Modern cladding tiles are strip stacked and rectangular, but still slightly irregular. These types of tile are being used to bring a touch of natural stone beauty to our homes and are increasingly used by architects in new modern structures. There are many imitation tiles on the market at the moment, but to avoid risking that 1970’s crazy paving look, it’s always best to use natural stone.

There’s something warm and rich about natural stone decoration or brick effect panels in a home. It is an authentic, undated look which is comfortable in any home setting. It blends perfectly with most interiors and décor, from traditionally styled homes to contemporary. Our natural cladding exudes style and class. With our decorative stone effect panels it is easy to achieve a sensational look at a competitive price.

Our Range of Stone Cladding

Our products offer everyone the opportunity to harness this iconic look within their home, whether in the lounge, open-plan living spaces, or on exterior walls. Our slate cladding is popular in modern kitchen design, and our natural stone veneers compliment country home décor perfectly.

The Stone Tile Emporium has a range of different stone cladding wall options including, but not limited to:

Limestone Rock Face Cladding in; cream, brown and beige.

Slate Split Face Cladding in; black, oyster and multi-colour.

Quartz Face Cladding in; white, black and cream.

Marble Rock Face Cladding in; cream, brown and beige.

Travertine Mosaic Cladding in; beige/cream

Other Cladding options are available upon request. Just drop by our shop or call us to find out more about our cladding ranges.

The Creative Effects of Stone Tiles

• Many leading architects, developers and interior designers are currently using stone cladding to create many different looks. The type of stone, colour, finish and even the size of the tile effects the creative outcome. One of the great aspects of natural stone cladding is the diversity of stone available, which makes picking a finish and style to suit your home easy.
• Choose travertine stone cladding for a more natural, rustic appearance. It’s a versatile type of natural stone, which can be used both inside your home and on the exterior. Marble cladding by contrast brings a more polished and elegant look to any interior. Whatever style you’re after, we have a natural stone cladding to suit your needs.
• Stone tiles can be used outside the house to great effect. It does not matter if water gets behind the cladding outdoors as mould and moss growth isn’t an issue and is sometimes encouraged to create a natural effect. Some tiles can even be removed before, or after the installation, and mosses can be grown off the walls in the spaces left behind. Plant-cladded homes are very much on trend and aspects of this style are easily achieved with partial stone cladding.
• We wouldn’t recommend putting these tiles in an interior area where they are likely to get very wet, such as adjacent to baths, sinks and any form of running water. This is because there is no grouting in-between the cladding tiles and they are therefore not completely watertight. Moss and algae look perfectly natural on the exterior of a building, but we think you’ll agree aren’t so welcome on the inside.
• Stone tile cladding works fantastically well as a feature wall within the home. Used in a contemporary context it’s a great way to create contrast. For the more traditional home it brings a lovely, warm, comfortable feel to any room in your house.

Who remembers this beautiful bathroom we tiled last year? Well we received a call, the cleaner had knocked a mirror off the wall and chipped a tile🫣

We came back to remove the broken tile and replace it with a fresh new one. Still in awe of this bathroom! Absolutely stunning 😍

One of the best tradesmen I’ve ever worked with! Would absolutely recommend to anyone. We had our Victorian hallway tiling redone and couldn’t be happier with the result. Kevin is highly skilled and a master of his craft, and also highly professional, kind, courteous and considerate. He is completely reliable and his attention to detail is second-to-none. Incredible product and service! Thank you so much Kevin 🙂

Kevin and his team spent 3months renovating the whole ground floor with underfloor heating, etc working around kitchen fitters from another vendor. Kevin’s project managing skills can’t be questioned. Involved in the project Kevin supplied plasterers, plumbers, electricians, carpenters getting everyone working in conjunction with each other and with this, when a tradesman stated a time of arrival they turned up on the dot. The quality of the work was exceptional with nothing being to much trouble when working with such a demanding client as my wife. Don’t hesitate to ask Kevin about any bigger project as he has built up a talented group of tradesman that have and could solve the issues we all have finding good quality tradesmen that turn up and want to supply a top quality end result.

Reigate Tile Emporium won the tender to replace two floors of our house with tiles that had not been properly laid when our house was built just over two years ago. We had various companies around during the tender process but the minute Kevin Harris arrived to review the proposed works, it was immediately apparent his attention to detail, knowledge and advice were leagues above everyone else. Thankfully they went on to win the tender ! And wow what an amazing job they did. This was no simple or small job. We had issues with the original screed not having been dried out correctly or the laitance removed before the original tiles were laid. All these issues were identified by Kevin and a plan instigated to ensure the necessary corrective actions were taken. Throughout the works we were kept up-to date on an almost daily basis - nothing was too much trouble. I can’t say enough about Kevin and his teams expertise. And the final result? Just amazing - even the surveyor appointed by our Loss Adjuster commented that it was some of the best tiling he has ever seen. We are so so happy with the final result. All I can say is this - I doubt they are the cheapest but considering the nightmare we went through having to move out of our property for 14 weeks due to the poor job that was originally done, think really hard if they quote and aren’t the cheapest. It’s just not worth taking the risk. Reigate Tile Emporium seriously know their stuff and more importantly are passionate about what they do and their workmanship is simply superb. Like everything in life, you get what you pay for! Thank you once again Kevin and the team - incredible job - we’ve fallen back in love with our amazing house thanks to you.

Keith and his team did a great job for us on a very challenging project. We wanted our breakfast room and kitchen better linked by tiling through with matching tiles, spanning old-fashioned wooden floorboards and concrete, with the added complexity of underfloor heating throughout. Keith helped us with advice on suitable tiles and design - we settled on porcelain wood effect planks, which are amazing. The installation was complete within a week. The team worked tirelessly; tidying up and cleaning up at the end of each day. We are delighted with the result. We also had a prompt response to address an inevitable couple of snagging issues we needed addressing. Top notch throughout.

Great service, friendly, reliable and honest. Definitely will go back again. Refreshing to use a small, personal shop rather than a hideously big chain with sales staff with no knowledge of their product.

After struggling to find a good tiler, I contacted Kevin to see if he could assist with tiling our new bathroom. So glad I contacted him. He knew exactly what needed to be done and was incredibly professional, helpful and accommodating throughout. His tiler did a great job. Very happy with our new bathroom. Thoroughly recommend Tile Emporium. Thank you Kevin and Lee.

From discussing ideas, through to purchase and installation of Victorian style floor tiles in our porch, it has been an absolute pleasure dealing with Kevin and his team at The Stone Tile Emporium. They have been patient, helpful throughout, were fair on price and the quality of fitting exceptional. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
