These stone pieces are called Composable Long-strip Format Walling stone because they are not arranged and glued in the usual way of a standard 600x150mm size panel.
In stead, stones are supplied in strip-style pieces that have variable lengths of 150/ 300/450/600 mm, and fixed heights of 50/100/150 mm, as the below diagram.
These variations make the stone pieces composable and flexible at the construction site where they can be arranged in variable sequences. Builders are encouraged to try different combinations until a unique and satisfactory arrangement is reached.
Composable stone strips, not only varied in sizes, but they can be done with 2 or more different top finishes to blend as well.
In the following example, the specified finish of the stone strips is shot-blasted only.

In the following examples, the 2 specified finishes are shot-blasted + split for which the proportion of the two can be adjusted per your specific requirement.
Shot-blasted (less) + Split (more) mixed
Shot-blasted (more) + Split (less) mixed

The following project uses long-strip format cladding with bush-hammered top, varied thickness for an 'in-and-out effect'.
