An Alternative to Traditional Wall Designs
Quartz is one of our most popular kitchen countertop materials given its beauty and durability.
However, quartz is much more versatile than it may appear.
The benefits of quartz in terms of durability, low maintenance, a wide range of colours and styles can be used to create amazing wall designs in homes, schools, hospitals, and businesses.
Here at McMonagle Marble & Granite, we have used quartz as a tile in many wall cladding projects over the years and the results are always amazing.
Quartz wall cladding fills a need for many areas for attractive, durable wall coverings that have personality and style, while also being easy to install and easy to clean.

The Benefits of Quartz Wall Cladding
Of course, using granite or quartz for walls doesn't get as much attention as being used for worktops, countertops or flooring.
However, that is changing and more and more of our customers are realising their endless benefits.
The common mistake most people make is to see the wall as an area which does not need to be maintained - especially for certain businesses which need to endlessly paint the walls to hide scuff marks.
The benefits of durability and ease of cleaning become even more obvious when used in wet areas like showers and bathrooms - this is where quartz wall cladding excels.
Unlike paint, quartz is water-resistant and does not absorb moisture, so it is unlikely to darken or stain over the years
Also, quartz wall cladding can be a clever choice for high-traffic areas or areas.
The quartz will not chip or peel in the same way as paint or when furniture hits against it, wet umbrellas, children's hands, muck, rain, pets and so on
can all easily be cleaned away with no damage to the surface or wall - a highly durable, beautiful material.
Not even specific cleaners are needed, simply a warm cloth.
Best of all, quartz can be found in numerous colours, patterns, and styles. which means you can customise the look of your walls
Bespoke Wall-Cladding Features
Quartz can be used in many ways allowing the creation of incredible wall spaces which will last a lifetime
- Want your TV sunk into your quartz wall?
- Want water-resistant quartz shelving?
Finally, the edges of quartz or granite wall cladding are always extremely smooth.
Smooth wall cladding edges means that each piece can be laid butt-edged together.
Ceramic tile needs space to prevent damage, some types of stone need additional space to prevent off-setting of the joints over time, and large-format porcelain can create lippage issues on walls, but quartz and granite wall cladding can be butt-edged for a smooth and sleek finish.
Applications for Quartz Wall Cladding
Unlike some wall claddings made of natural stone or stone veneers, quartz can be used nearly anywhere.
The cladding is nonporous and can be installed in wet areas like showers.
It can also be used in areas like:
