Aquarella Granite Panels by StonePly
Aquarella Granite is defined by sweeping horizontal bands of plum, charcoal, soft lavender, and muted cream layered in fluid, striated movement. The surface exhibits tightly compressed linear veining interwoven through broader tonal waves, creating a sense of directional flow. Subtle shifts between light and dark establish depth across a large visual scale, giving the stone a dramatic yet controlled architectural presence.
Exterior applications may include façade compositions and architectural feature panels where the stone’s directional patterning can be expressed across prominent building surfaces. Interior installations often appear as statement walls within hospitality and corporate lobby environments, where Aquarella Granite is used as a vertically oriented architectural surface.
StonePly fabricates Aquarella Granite panels by bonding a thin layer of the stone to an aluminum honeycomb backing. This composite panel construction significantly reduces overall panel weight while maintaining the visual character associated with solid granite. The finished panels are produced as lightweight units designed for integration into architectural cladding systems and vertical building assemblies.

Other than diamonds, rubies, and sapphires, granite is the hardest natural stone. Granite is the preferred stone for exterior cladding as it is known for its strength and resistance to the elements. Unlike marble, granite is a very low maintenance choice for your building exterior; it is extremely resistant to heat, scratching, and stains.
Quarried all over the world, granite comes in a wide variety of colors. Typically you find granite finished with a high polish to show off the beautiful array of colors and natural grain. Granite's appearance is phenomenal for exterior applications or interior accents but can sometimes look too "busy" in confined spaces. To meet the need of current trends, granite can be honed, sandblasted, or have other textures applied to soften its natural tones and provide a very aesthetically pleasing panel.
Granite is not only found in commercial cladding applications but is a favorite for counter tops and flooring as well. The stone is extremely durable and easily maintained and cleaned. Being harder than marble and limestone, granite surpasses other stones in its ability to resist staining and acidic materials.
If your requirements call for a stone that has permanence, enduring texture and color, along with complete freedom from deterioration and maintenance, then granite is an ideal candidate for your project.
