Eclipse Granite is a striking, high-contrast granite with bold, sweeping bands of jet black and deep charcoal alternating with broad strokes of silver, white, and pale grey that move diagonally across the surface in dramatic, fluid formations. The banding is wide and expressive, shifting between sharp-edged transitions and softer, diffused boundaries as it crosses the face of the stone. The overall composition is graphic and forceful, with a monochromatic intensity that gives Eclipse Granite a strong architectural presence at any scale.
At its best when given room to perform — Eclipse Granite is specified across large exterior accent wall panels, architectural screen walls, and building entry conditions on corporate, cultural, and civic projects where the stone's bold banding makes a precise material statement. Interior applications include feature walls in corporate headquarters, building atrium walls, and statement partitions in contemporary public buildings where the contrast and movement of the stone set the visual tone for the surrounding space.
The StonePly system bonds a thin layer of Eclipse Granite to an aluminum honeycomb backing, producing a panel of consistent, uniform thickness at a substantially reduced weight. This opens the stone to both exterior and interior wall assemblies of a scale and complexity that solid stone would not accommodate.

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.
