Asa Branca Granite Panels by StonePly
Asa Branca Granite is a white granite with a fine, evenly distributed black and charcoal speckled pattern. From a distance, the surface reads bright and uniform, while closer inspection reveals tight mineral variation that adds subtle texture without strong directional movement.
Exterior applications may include wall cladding and soffit installations where Asa Branca Granite provides a clean, consistent architectural stone surface. Interior uses can extend to full-height wall cladding, lobby surrounds, and expansive vertical surfaces where Asa Branca Granite introduces a bright, neutral material within the architectural composition.
StonePly fabricates Asa Branca Granite panels by laminating a thin layer of the granite to an aluminum honeycomb backing. This construction approach reduces the overall weight of the stone assembly while preserving the natural granite face. The finished panels are produced for incorporation into vertical architectural cladding systems and panelized wall assemblies.

Additional Reading
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.
