Sintered Stone Wall Cladding in Indonesia
A feature wall works when the surface is read as one piece. That is a question of panel size, joint placement and vein direction, not only of pattern.
Panel thickness
6 mm panels suit interior walls, cabinetry fronts and lift interiors. 9 mm is used where the wall takes occasional impact or where the substrate needs more rigidity. Thicker formats are specified for exterior facades, subject to fixing design.
For a sintered stone wall cladding Indonesia project, the panel size decides the joint layout, so the format is chosen before the pattern.Fewer joints, taller walls
Formats up to 1600 × 3200 mm allow a wall to be covered floor to ceiling with a small number of panels. Joints are placed on architectural lines, at corners or behind joinery, so the surface reads continuously.
Bookmatch and custom motif
Bookmatch pairs mirror the veining across a joint, which is why they are used on reception walls and dining backdrops. Custom motifs can be developed against a reference, with a physical sample approved before production.
Substrate and fixing
Panels are fixed to a flat, stable substrate with an adhesive or mechanical system agreed with the installer. Movement joints follow the building structure; exterior work also considers wind load and water management.
Frequently Asked Questions
Short answers for homeowners and project teams in Indonesia.
What thickness for an interior feature wall?
6 mm is usual for interior walls and joinery fronts; 9 mm where more rigidity is needed.
Can a wall be covered without visible joints?
Joints are reduced, not eliminated. They are placed on architectural lines to minimise visual interruption.
Can I use a bookmatch pair on one wall?
Yes, where the pattern allows. The joint position is agreed at sample stage.
Is it suitable for a bathroom wall?
Yes, with the fixing detail confirmed for wet areas.
