Black granite is an excellent choice for exterior wall cladding due to its durability, strength, and aesthetic appeal.
Choose high-quality black granite, such as Absolute Black or Black Galaxy, which are known for their consistency in color and texture.
For exterior walls, you can select a polished, honed, or flamed finish. A polished finish offers a sleek, reflective surface, while a flamed finish provides a rough, textured look that is slip-resistant and ideal for exterior use.
Typically, granite slabs used for cladding are about 20mm to 30mm thick, depending on the design requirements.
Decide on the layout pattern for the cladding, such as a staggered brick pattern, straight joint, or a random pattern.
Slab sizes can be customized based on the wall dimensions and design preference. Large slabs create a seamless look, while smaller tiles can add texture.
Ensure that the joints between slabs are uniform, typically 2-5mm, and filled with a suitable grout or sealant.
Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free of any debris. A smooth, even surface is ideal for installing cladding.
Use a high-quality stone adhesive that is suitable for outdoor conditions. Apply it evenly on the back of the granite slabs and the wall surface.
Start from the bottom of the wall and work your way up, placing each slab carefully. Use spacers to maintain uniform joint widths.
For added security, especially on higher walls, you may need to use mechanical anchors or metal brackets in addition to adhesive.
After the adhesive has set, apply a suitable grout to the joints. Make sure the grout is weather-resistant and matches the color of the granite.
Apply a stone sealer to protect the granite from moisture, stains, and UV rays. This step is crucial to maintaining the granite’s appearance over time.
Regular cleaning with water and a mild detergent will help maintain the appearance. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the stone.
Periodically reapply the stone sealer to ensure continued protection, especially in harsh weather conditions.
Ensure that all materials and installation methods comply with local building codes and standards.
Consider the weight of the granite and the structural integrity of the wall to support it.
