Exterior Stone Cladding Checklist for Indian Villas

4 min readNov 2024

A practical checklist covering elevation tiles, parking-friendly granite, and weather protection for premium facades.

Designing for Bengaluru's climate swings

Switch between ventilated facades for humid zones like Yelahanka and bonded cladding for drier pockets. Always specify stainless or galvanised anchoring plus breathable waterproofing membranes to counter monsoon moisture.

Parking tiles and driveway granites must be flame-textured to prevent skids during rains. Our Dark Roast and Kashmir White granites are bush-hammered with precise grit settings for maximum grip.

Detailing that prevents callbacks

Expansion joints every 8-10 linear feet, weep holes at sill levels, and properly sealed miters keep facades pristine. Pre-seal all elevation tiles in the factory to avoid uneven blotches when site teams rush the job.

We create shop drawings that align cladding patterns with window mullions and lighting points, ensuring zero awkward cuts around balconies or pergolas.

  • Label crates by elevation to speed up installation
  • Use breathable epoxy grouts for high-movement façades
  • Document cleaning manuals for facility teams

Maintenance planning for long-term value

Offer clients a maintenance kit: PH-neutral cleaners, sealers, and inspection checklists. For projects outside Bengaluru, we partner with local applicators but ship the same products for consistency.

Document expected patina evolution so homeowners appreciate how the stone will age. This transparency is a subtle yet powerful SEO signal because it builds trust and time-on-page.
