StoneLite™ panels are quickly and easily installed without
the need for expensive lifting equipment or specialized labor.
Over 35 Years of Innovation in Natural Stone Cladding
StoneLite™ natural stone wall panels consist of a thin
authentic stone veneer bonded and reinforced with an aluminum honeycomb substrate.
StoneLite™ may be produced in virtually any natural stone including:
granite, marble, limestone, slate or sandstone.
Combining the timeless beauty of authentic natural stone with
aerospace aluminum honeycomb technology, StoneLite™ is the global choice
for commercial stone wall panel and cladding applications by discriminating
architects, owners and general contractors. StoneLite™ is used extensively
for exterior, interior, renovation, elevator,
and specialty applications.
Stone Panels, Inc. originated and pioneered the
unique manufacturing process that has established us as the world
leader in light-weight natural stone. From our original conception
nearly 40 years ago in a small quarry in Ireland, Stone Panels, Inc.
has long been established as the premier producer of natural stone
composite panels and continues to lead the stone industry in innovation,
technology, and proven results. No other company can match Stone
Panels, Inc. product capabilities, technical expertise, global testing,
international authority approvals, experience and proven performance
on thousands of buildings throughout the world.
Better Product, Less Cost, Reduced Time!
StoneLite™ weighs only 3.3 lbs./sq. ft. (16
kg/sq. m) about the same as 1/4-inch (6 mm) thick glass, which is
approximately 80% less weight than solid stone. This weight savings
alone provides huge savings in installation labor, structural requirements,
and installing time.
Tough, durable StoneLite™ panels offer fantastic
impact resistance and flexural strength provided by our patented
manufacturing process. They can resist up to 60 times more impact
than solid 3 cm thick granite. Unlike solid stone, these panels can
be flexed, making them ideal for seismic locations. Our aluminum
honeycomb-reinforced panels keep the beauty of natural stone and
eliminate its fragile, brittle properties.
StoneLite™ is impervious to water penetration,
even with open structured stones such as travertine, Indiana limestone
and French limestone. The fiber-reinforced epoxy skin, directly behind
the stone, provides a waterproof barrier, thereby eliminating the
need for a secondary layer of protection.
These properties provide numerous advantages over
traditional dimensional stone making StoneLite™ your product
of choice for nearly all applications.
