Exterior wall claddings
Exterior wall cladding is a rather complicated process, as a result of which the building you renovate becomes more resistant and has a pleasant external appearance.
At first glance, choosing the type of natural stone that you will use for your external finishes is not difficult. However, it is important to keep in mind that the success of external finishing works also largely depends on the team of professionals who will carry them out.
One of the most important steps to be taken before cladding is surface preparation, which in turn includes insulating membranes, quality adhesives, and adequate workmanship.
Our specialists from Art-Granit will advise and help you with solutions for facing of stairs or outdoor paving.
