Split Face Tiles Stone Cladding

Our split face tiles collection offers a refined range of natural stone wall cladding panels designed to bring depth, texture and authentic character to any project. With their distinctive 3D layered surface, these panels provide the timeless appeal of hand-built stonework while remaining cost-effective, practical and easy to install. Whether used for interior feature walls or exterior garden façades, split face stone tiles deliver a striking visual finish that complements both traditional and contemporary British homes.

Key Features of Split Face Tiles

• Authentic Natural Stone Texture: Each panel is crafted from real stone, creating genuine variation in tone, shadow and relief. This natural irregularity gives walls depth and presence that cannot be replicated by flat tiles or artificial cladding boards.

• Suitable for Indoor and Outdoor Use: Ideal for feature walls, fireplaces, entrances, garden walls and commercial interiors. With strong durability and low water absorption, these tiles perform reliably in the UK’s damp, cold and variable climate.

• Interlocking Panels for a Clean Finish: Both 550×150 mm and 360×100 mm formats are designed to interlock neatly, reducing visible joints and enabling a precise, professional appearance with quicker installation times.

• Durable, Frost-Resistant and Low Maintenance: Natural quartzite, slate and granite split face tiles offer excellent long-term stability. They resist fading, frost, moisture and general wear, making them suitable for decades of indoor and outdoor use with minimal upkeep.

• Versatile Design Possibilities: From subtle tones for modern interiors to bold textures for exterior landscaping, this collection supports a wide range of architectural styles and project requirements across UK residential and commercial settings.

With their natural charm and strong visual impact, our split face tiles provide a reliable and elegant solution for enhancing any wall surface.

Do Split Face Tiles Need Sealing? Not Recommended

• Preserving the Natural Stone Look: Split face tiles rely on their natural textured surface for aesthetic impact. Sealing can darken the stone and diminish the natural, weathered character that many customers value.

• Maintaining True Colour: Sealants may alter tone or reflectivity. Leaving the stone unsealed keeps the original colour profile intact, especially important for light quartzite and slate.

• Outdoor Performance: For exterior use, sealing is generally unnecessary. Natural stone outdoors benefits from ventilation, natural drying and stable long-term weathering without the need for coatings.

• Indoor Use: In typical interior settings, moisture exposure is minimal, so sealing provides limited benefit and is optional rather than required.
