Stone Cladding for Fireplaces, Braais & Feature Walls
Riven strips and interlocking panels in slate, quartzite and sandstone — the stack-stone wall behind the fireplace, the braai and the TV.
Most homes have one wall everyone looks at: the chimney breast, the built-in braai, the wall behind the television. Clad it in natural stone and it becomes the anchor of the room — texture that catches the light of the fire, colour that warms a lapa, and a surface that looks better with age instead of tired.
Riven cladding is the favourite for these walls: narrow split-face strips stacked in tight horizontal courses, with no visible joint, that frame a fireplace or braai without clutter. Interlocking panels give the same look pre-assembled, which makes an indoor TV or feature wall quick and clean to install. We stock both in slate, quartzite and Lesotho sandstone, so the wall can match your floors, roof or paving.
Cladding dresses the surround and the chimney breast — the firebox and the braai’s fire bed are built from fire-rated materials. Around a braai, a sealed stone is far easier to keep free of grease and soot. Send us a photo of the wall with its width and height on WhatsApp, and we’ll recommend a stone, work out the levels or boxes you need and quote.

Where it works
-
Fireplace surrounds
Clad the whole chimney breast, floor to ceiling, or just the surround — either way the fire becomes the centre of the room.
-
Braai areas & lapas
A stone back wall makes an outdoor entertainment area feel finished. Seal it, and grease and soot wipe off instead of soaking in.
-
TV & feature walls
Interlocking panels go up quickly with little mess, turning a plain lounge or bedroom wall into the focal point.
