What is Tier?
Tier is a real stone panelling system specifically designed to create a distinctive, natural stone finish wherever it's used.
The panels rise in interlocking "tiers", fitting seamlessly together. This therefore eliminates the need for specialist labour and makes Tier a quick and easy system to use.
Suitable for small projects, homes or large developments; Tier transports the timeless character of real stone to any location.
The panels are natural stone, therefore each and every modular panel is completely unique, each having its own colours, sizes and textures. The Tier panels also use a larger base panel than many other panelling systems which allows a greater variation in stone sizes. This is what gives Tier its authentic drystone appearance.
Tier"s versatility allows it to be used on both interior and exterior walls, and on commercial or residential projects; making the product versatile enough to suit builders, architects and home owners.
Why use Tier?
Authentic
As Tier is made from natural stone, it bares all the form and character of a dry-stone wall. The simple, yet clever "Z" formation of the Tier Panel System allows each section to interlock seamlessly together, to produce all the charm and elegance of a natural stone surface.
Elegance
Part of what makes Tier unique is that each panel is deeper than other standard stone systems currently available. This allows the panels to have a greater variety of stone sizes, creating a more realistic and authentic finish.
Versatile
The applications for Tier are endless. Its simple installation means it can be incorporated in to both commercial and residential environments adding real charm to either an entire structure or a small feature.
Simple
The panel system has been designed to achieve the look of a stone wall without the need for a qualified stonemason, therefore no specialist tools or skills are required to install Tier. This is why it is so popular with contractors and developers alike.
Efficient
The modular design means it can be constructed in a fraction of the time normally taken to build traditional stonework. With Tier, it is possible to install up to 30m2 per day. This compares with 3m2 for Random Rubble Walling.
Economical
As well as reduced labour costs, Tier has the advantage of producing less waste during construction and requires no maintenance after installation is complete. Whilst traditional stone walling can have up to 25% wastage, Tier has virtually none.

Installing Tier Step by Step: |
1.) Using a toothed trowel apply an even spread of Tier Adhesive directly to the wall. Do not apply using spots or blobs as this will weaken the bond. Once the adhesive has been applied, you must install the panel within 40 minutes. |

Tier Flexible Adhesive |
2.) Fix in place using a rubber mallet. Panels can be cut easily using a diamond blade where necessary. For installations up to 3m, panels can be directly adhered to the wall without the use of any fixings. Larger surfaces require 8 fixings per square metre. |

Mechanical Fixing Detail |
3.) To achieve natural corners, two sizes are available so that the joints may be variable. Alternatively you can select the Tier Quoin.

Should the panels need to be cut to size, this can be done with standard masonry tools without the risk of cracks or fractures.
As the panels are held fast to the wall with the adhesive, there is no need to grout or use mortar.
