What’s the one thing that single-handedly transforms the entire ambience of a place? Walls, of course!
Walls are perfect to decorate and the most common trend in wall enhancement is wall cladding – a process of adding a protective or decorative layer of stone to elevate its appearance.
If you have already decided the type of stone & finish, you might be stuck between the two different methods of installation – Dry cladding and wet cladding. Stone decor is highly durable and resistant to extreme weather. However, the ultimate effect also depends on the installation process.
Whether you opt for dry or wet cladding, both methods bring their unique strengths to your space. Dry cladding is best suited for structural reliability and long-term use, while wet cladding offers a sleek aesthetic and cost-effective installation. The right choice ultimately depends on your project requirements, budget, and stone type. At Stone World, we guide you through the selection and installation process for flawless stone wall decor that stands the test of time.

Q1. What is the difference between dry and wet cladding?
Dry cladding uses mechanical anchors to fix the stone to the wall, while wet cladding relies on adhesives to stick the stone directly.
Q2. Which is better for exterior walls—dry or wet cladding?
Dry cladding is generally better for exteriors due to its strength, weather resistance, and flexibility for future changes.
Q3. Is wet cladding safe for thin stone?
Yes, wet cladding is ideal for thinner stones as it doesn’t involve drilling, reducing the risk of cracks.
Q4. Which is more expensive—dry cladding or wet cladding?
Dry cladding is typically more expensive due to the use of metal anchors and the requirement for skilled labour.
Q5. Can I install cladding by myself?
Wet cladding can be DIY-friendly with the right tools and materials, but dry cladding should be handled by experienced professionals.
