Audax Granite Panels by StonePly
Audax Granite is a charcoal and cream granite with fractured movement and layered mineral contrast. Deep graphite tones interlock with lighter crystalline fields, while warm amber accents surface organically throughout the composition. The pattern is bold and highly active, with a natural sense of direction and depth.
Exterior applications may include façade systems, ventilated rainscreen assemblies, and architectural envelope installations where strong visual texture is desired. Interior uses can extend to feature wall cladding, elevator cores, atrium walls, and vertical statement installations within commercial and hospitality environments where Audax Granite is incorporated as a prominent architectural surface.
StonePly panels in Audax Granite are fabricated by bonding a thin stone facing to an aluminum honeycomb backing. This construction reduces overall panel weight while retaining the exposed granite surface. The resulting composite units support efficient installation and are produced for integration into contemporary architectural cladding systems.

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.
