The Timeless Beauty of Hotham Natural Stone
Hotham Strata is a granite wall cladding in warm grey tones, ranging from light silver-grey through to ashy brown with occasional hints of ochre. The strata format gives it a strong horizontal character that reads well at scale, whether you're cladding a full facade or a single fireplace wall.

Description
The colour palette sits on the warmer end of the grey spectrum, which makes it a good fit for projects where cooler stones feel too stark. It works well alongside natural timbers, off-white renders, and earthy tones, and holds up just as well outdoors as it does inside.
Pieces run up to 600mm long in the strata profile, giving the wall a strong layered look without looking machine-cut. The natural finish on all faces, with a flat back for installation, means joints and edges have genuine texture when viewed up close. It can be laid dry stacked or with a grout line, though dry stacking is the more common choice for strata format as it keeps the horizontal layering clean and defined.
Hotham Strata granite wall cladding is stocked and on display in our Oakleigh East showroom, where you can see it at wall scale and take a free sample. If you want a less linear result from the same stone, it's also available in a random profile.

FAQ’s
How is Hotham Strata installed?
Pieces are sawn flat on the back and applied to a suitable substrate using standard stone adhesive. Corner units come in L-shapes and interlock to give the appearance of a solid structural wall. Our installation guide covers the full process.
Can Hotham Strata be used outdoors?
Yes. As a granite, it's dense, frost-resistant, and won't deteriorate with moisture or UV exposure. It's regularly specified for exterior facades, alfresco areas, and retaining walls, as well as indoor applications like fireplaces and feature walls.
How much do I need to order?
Walling is packaged as 10m² per crate and corners as 25 lineal metres per crate, but these are packing references rather than fixed order quantities - we pack off to the exact m² or lm you need rather than requiring you to round up to a full crate. Measure the total wall area and subtract any openings. It's worth ordering a small amount extra to account for cuts, particularly around corners.
What's the difference between Hotham Strata and Hotham Random?
Strata is cut to give a consistent horizontal layering, which produces a more linear, structured look. Random uses irregular piece sizes and orientations for a less formal, more organic result. Both are the same stone, so they can be used together in the same project if you want to mix the two.
Can I see Hotham Strata before ordering?
Yes. Hotham Strata is on display in our Oakleigh East showroom at wall scale. Free samples are also available to take away. Showroom hours are Monday to Friday 8:30am - 4:30pm and Saturday 9am - 3pm.
