SSQ Riverstone Cladding Stone
Riverstone is SSQ’s sensational architectural stone product – not slate, but phyllite, made harder, denser and stronger by millions more years spent underground.
Riverstone might make for an outstanding roofing material – but that’s far from the only context it excels. Due to its satin phyllitic sheen appearance, coarse grain and naturally riven surface that makes it more slip-resistant than natural slate, Phyllite is extremely versatile, making it a perfect product for flooring, cladding, stairs, skirting, patios, worktops and even swimming pools.
Cladding stone materials are constantly exposed to the elements. Therefore, they need to act as a protective layer for the building exterior. Fortunately, Riverstone is extremely weather resistant. It will repel heavy rain and act as a barrier against strong winds, shielding the building’s exterior and preventing damage. Riverstone phyllite is also non-combustible so will never cause a fire risk.
