Fernhill Stone - Interior and Exterior Stone Facing

Fernhill Stone has become the market leader in quality stone facing. Based in the UK and Ireland, the company can accommodate new builds and renovation projects in contemporary and traditional styles. It has been due to the overwhelming popularity of stone in hotel development that a realistic alternative was necessary.

Hoteliers can benefit from the stone facing as individual specification on the colour and texture can be achieved through a unique blend of ingredients. This produces the look and feel of natural stone on both the interior and exterior of the hotel, if required.

The manufacturing process has become extremely advanced. The products are cast in moulds using a unique process that replicates existing colours and textures with meticulous detail. This provides hotels with original and natural looking stone.

NEW-BUILD HOTEL PROJECTS WITH STONE FACING

Practical issues like speed of construction are important considerations at the design stage of any new build project. In particular, the cost and availability of labour, scaffolding and disruption have had a huge impact on designing a hotel. Stone facing has proved to be a very cost effective and practical option for hotels. It can be attached to any solid structure and is increasingly being used on both solid block and timber frame building developments.

RENOVATING HOTELS WITH STONE FACING

The stone facing is lightweight and varies in thickness from 35mm to 70mm and therefore, does not require any special foundations, extra wide lintels, sills or facia overhang. It has been used on so many renovation projects but probably the most unusual are a castle in Scotland and an old mill in Ireland. This highlights the versatility of stone facing as it can be mixed and matched to suit any existing stone structure. Once it is professionally fitted you would be hard pressed to know the difference.

STONE INTERIORS

From fireplaces to walls, the versatility of the products lend themselves very well to interior design. The natural warmth of the stone teams up very well with metal, wood and textiles which is essential in creating a welcoming homely environment within a hotel, creating an atmosphere which generates loyal, lifelong guests.
