Pricing depends on the stone type, thickness, finish, piece size, and whether delivery or installation is included. At Matkel, we provide the final per-square-meter price once you confirm the stone, finish, facade requirements, and project location within Saudi Arabia, helping you compare options clearly.
Granite is often the best choice for external facades in Saudi Arabia because it handles heat, humidity, and rain well while keeping water absorption low. Basalt or marble can also work for specific designs, but you should select a sun-resistant grade suitable for thermal movement in cities such as Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dammam.
High-quality natural stone can handle high heat and humidity when it has low water absorption and meets project standards. For facades, granite or dense hard stone is recommended, with waterproofing and stain protection where needed. This helps maintain color stability and reduces the risk of cracking in hot and rainy Saudi weather.
Facade stone usually starts at 15 to 20 millimeters thick, and heavier or larger pieces may require extra thickness. The fixing system depends on the stone: metal brackets or wire systems are common for heavy pieces, while specialized adhesive can be used for lighter cladding. An engineer-approved fixing plan is essential for stability and safety.
Yes, you can request a sample or color board before purchase to match the stone’s color and texture with your villa or building design. The base price usually covers the stone only, while some Matkel packages may include delivery, installation, and finishing. Always confirm the service scope, warranty, and any applicable Saudi project requirements.
