Choosing grey wall cladding involves considering the material, panel size and finish. Porcelain offers a consistent appearance, while sandstone features natural variations in colour and texture. Panel dimensions also influence the finished look. The sections below explore these options to help you find the right cladding for your project.
Before installation, the existing wall must be stable and suitable for cladding. Below, we’ll cover essential preparation steps, fixing requirements and key considerations before ordering.
Material Options: Grey Wall Cladding Panels
Our grey wall cladding panels are available in porcelain and natural sandstone, each offering different surface characteristics and finishes. The material you choose can influence the overall appearance of your wall, as well as its maintenance and installation requirements.
Porcelain Grey Wall Cladding Panels
Porcelain grey wall cladding provides a durable, low-maintenance finish for outdoor walls and garden features. Its manufactured surface offers greater consistency in colour and texture between panels, making it particularly suitable for contemporary designs.
Porcelain also has low water absorption, helping it withstand changing weather conditions while remaining easy to clean.
Sandstone Grey Wall Cladding Panels
Natural sandstone grey wall cladding brings a more varied appearance to garden walls, raised beds and other outdoor features. Each panel has its own subtle differences in shade, grain and surface texture, creating a finish with natural character.
Sandstone is a porous material, so suitable installation methods and ongoing care should be considered to help maintain its appearance over time.
Size Options: Grey Wall Cladding Panels
Our grey wall cladding range is available in 517x163mm, 600x150mm and 520x170mm panel sizes, giving you different options for garden walls, outdoor kitchens, raised beds and feature areas. Choosing the right format will depend on the dimensions of your wall and the type of finish you want to achieve.
517x163MM Grey Wall Cladding
517x163mm grey wall cladding panels offer a rectangular format that works well for creating horizontal patterns across smaller and larger wall sections. The proportions allow the panels to be arranged in consistent rows, making them suitable for garden features, entrance walls and other vertical surfaces.
Our Tikal grey porcelain wall cladding slips are available in this size, offering a light grey colour with a textured surface. The finish works well alongside grey paving, brickwork and other garden materials.
600x150MM Grey Wall Cladding
600x150mm grey wall cladding panels have a longer, narrower shape that creates defined horizontal lines across the wall. This format works well for covering wider areas and can help create a consistent appearance across garden walls, raised beds and outdoor living spaces.
Our London grey porcelain and Kandla grey sandstone wall cladding panels are available in this size, offering a choice between a porcelain finish and natural sandstone. Both provide grey colour options with different surface characteristics, allowing you to choose a material that suits your project.
520x170MM Grey Wall Cladding
520x170mm grey wall cladding panels provide a slightly wider format than the other sizes in our range. Their rectangular shape creates a balanced pattern, making them suitable for feature walls, garden structures and other outdoor areas where a darker finish is preferred.
Our Alabama graphite porcelain wall cladding panels are available in this size, featuring deeper grey and graphite tones with a textured surface. The darker colour works well against lighter paving, rendered walls and surrounding garden features.
Popular Grey Wall Cladding Options
Our popular grey wall cladding options include both natural sandstone and porcelain, giving you a choice between a more varied stone finish and a more controlled manufactured look that you get with porcelain.
Kandla Grey Sandstone Wall Cladding Panels
Kandla grey sandstone wall cladding panels use natural grey tones with subtle variation from piece to piece. The stone finish works well on garden walls, raised beds and outdoor features where a less uniform appearance is preferred.

Grey Wall Cladding Maintenance
Keeping your grey wall cladding clean helps maintain its appearance and prevent the build-up of dirt, algae and other outdoor deposits. Maintenance requirements vary depending on the material, location and level of exposure to weather conditions.
Porcelain wall cladding is generally low maintenance due to its low water absorption and can usually be cleaned with warm water, a soft brush and a suitable mild detergent. Natural sandstone may require more attention, particularly in shaded or damp areas where algae and moss are more likely to develop. A suitable breathable natural stone sealer may help reduce staining and water absorption, although sealing is not always necessary.
Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaning methods that could damage the surface. Always follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for cleaning products, sealing and ongoing care.
