Black Marinace Granite Panels by StonePly
Black Marinace Granite features a distinctive pebble-like composition with rounded fragments in shades of charcoal, gray, and soft neutrals set within a darker matrix. Its expressive, naturally varied appearance makes it well suited for architectural designs seeking visual texture and movement rather than uniform patterning. The stone’s organic composition allows each panel to present a unique surface, supporting designs where individuality and material character are central to the concept.
StonePly panels are produced by bonding Black Marinace Granite to an aluminum honeycomb backing, resulting in reduced panel weight and consistent thickness compared to traditional stone construction. This fabrication approach supports design flexibility while accommodating large-format panels and a range of finish options. Panel sizing, edge conditions, and fabrication details may be coordinated to align with specific project requirements and design intent.
Formed as a thin layer of stone bonded to an aluminum honeycomb backing, the material offers a significant reduction in weight compared to traditional full-thickness stone. This construction method supports more efficient handling and installation while accommodating a wide range of panel dimensions, allowing greater flexibility in how the material is detailed and coordinated across a project.
Applications, specifications, and CAD details are available to support architectural planning, detailing, and project documentation.

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.
