Fantasy Macaubas Granite Panels by StonePly
Fantasy Macaubas Granite features a refined palette of soft gray, pale beige, and off-white tones arranged in layered, undulating bands. Subtle veining traces through the surface in fine lines, occasionally deepening into more pronounced mineral seams that introduce contrast. The composition is defined by its stratified appearance, with gentle tonal shifts and intermittent crystalline areas adding depth.
Exterior applications for Fantasy Macaubas Granite may include cladding at upper levels, infill panels within curtainwall systems, or screened wall sections where a lighter stone is required alongside darker materials. On the interior, it can be carried onto vertical surfaces such as partition walls, elevator surrounds, or bar fronts, allowing Fantasy Macaubas Granite to maintain consistency between exterior and interior conditions.
StonePly produces Fantasy Macaubas Granite as a thin layer of stone bonded to an aluminum honeycomb backing, creating panels with uniform thickness and reduced weight. This construction supports its integration into vertically oriented assemblies and complex surface conditions while retaining the natural character and tonal variation of the original stone.

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.
