What the service covers - Pharaonic stone cladding

What the service covers

Wall survey and preparation through to a fully pointed and sealed pharaonic stone facade

  • Wall survey and prep

    Check wall level and assess substrate condition before any panel goes up

  • Panel cutting and shaping

    Precise cuts for corners, window reveals and any irregular wall break

  • Fixing by anchor or mortar

    Fixing method chosen by panel weight, wall type and facade height

  • Expansion joints and pointing

    Correct gap spacing filled with flexible sealant to absorb thermal movement

  • Salt-resistant sealing

    Impregnating treatment on stone face to block coastal moisture and salt deposit

  • Final inspection and handover

    Tap-test every panel and check all joints before handing the facade over

Common mistakes with pharaonic stone cladding

  1. Skipping the bonding slurry

    Bedding stone directly onto dry block without a bonding slurry weakens adhesion and causes early detachment

  2. Closed expansion joints

    Filling every joint solid with mortar leaves no room for thermal expansion and cracks panels in summer heat

  3. Wrong mortar grade

    Standard cement mortar instead of polymer-modified mix shrinks and cracks the bed joints within months

  4. Installing wet stone

    Damp stone stored outdoors weakens the mortar bond and causes white salt staining to appear later

Before you call us

  1. Measure the facade area

    Note the height and width of each face to be clad so we can price accurately

  2. Condition of existing cladding

    Note whether old cladding is present, loose or cracked and needs full removal first

  3. Access to the facade

    Confirm whether scaffolding or a lift platform is needed, as this affects cost and schedule

  4. Stone tone and finish

    Pharaonic stone comes in varied tones and chiselled finishes; decide your preference before the visit

What goes wrong with most finishing.

The finish is what you see every day, and its mistakes do not hide. These three are the most common.

  1. 01

    A rushed finish

    The finish is what you live with every day. Rushing it shows in every corner.

  2. 02

    Four contractors for one finish

    Tiling, gypsum, paint and aluminium crews who never talk to each other.

  3. 03

    After-care that never comes

    Once you have the keys, it is hard to find anyone to come back and fix what shows up.

The solution?

Full finishing, and maintenance after it, from one licensed company.

  1. A bathroom finished in modern marble
    A rushed finish

    Turnkey finishing

    Marble, tiling, gypsum and paint from one company.

  2. A gypsum ceiling with hidden lighting in a modern living room
    Four contractors for one finish

    One company for every trade

    No gaps between the tiler, the gypsum crew and the painter.

  3. A finished modern living room with a marble floor
    After-care that never comes

    Regular maintenance after handover

    And finishing on instalments if you need it.

How it works.

  1. Call or whatsApp

    Tell us the building location and which facades need cladding

  2. Site survey

    We measure the facades, check wall condition and assess access needs

  3. Quote and approval

    Detailed quote covering stone, fixing, pointing and sealing is submitted

  4. Installation

    Wall prep, panel fixing, joint pointing and surface sealing are carried out

  5. Inspection and handover

    Full tap-test and joint check done before the facade is handed over

What sets the price.

No fixed rate applies; these factors determine the final quote for pharaonic stone cladding

Get a quote
  1. Stone grade and thickness

    Heavier higher-grade panels need stronger anchors and cost more to fix

  2. Total cladding area

    Total area of all facades to be clad is the primary cost driver

  3. Height and access method

    Tall facades require scaffolding or access platforms that add to overall cost

  4. Old cladding removal

    Stripping existing cladding and preparing the substrate adds time and cost

  5. Corner and opening complexity

    Multiple corners and window reveals require extra cutting and raise labour cost

Why one contractor beats four.

Every extra contractor means another schedule and another excuse. With us, one company answers for all of it.

  1. Turnkey

    Shell and finishing with one company, from footings to keys.

  2. Pay in instalments

    Construction and finishing on instalments. Ask us for the details.

  3. Engineering supervision

    Architectural drawings and engineering supervision on site.

  4. After handover

    Maintenance contracts and a 24-hour emergency plumber.

Questions, answered.

Can pharaonic stone be fixed over old exterior paint without removing it?

No. Old paint prevents the mortar or bonding coat from gripping the wall properly, which risks panel detachment later. The paint must be stripped and the surface cleaned before installation begins.

Why do bed joints between pharaonic stone panels crack so quickly on Kuwaiti exteriors?

The main cause is filling expansion gaps with rigid mortar instead of flexible sealant. Intense heat expands both stone and wall, and with no room to move the rigid joints crack and open up.

Is pharaonic stone heavier than hashemi stone and how does that affect the fixing method?

Pharaonic stone is typically cut thicker than hashemi, making it heavier per panel. On taller facades this often requires supplementary mechanical anchors alongside mortar rather than mortar bedding alone.

Can a newly built additional floor be clad in pharaonic stone to match the existing lower facade?

Yes, but the stone type, tone and chisel finish must be matched carefully to the existing face. The new wall also needs to be fully cured before cladding to avoid mortar cracking from residual shrinkage.

Does pharaonic stone on a coastal facade need a different treatment compared to an inland building?

Yes. Salt-laden moisture on coastal facades penetrates stone pores and accelerates mortar and anchor corrosion. This calls for stainless-steel anchors and a salt-resistant impregnating treatment applied to the stone face.
