Hawaiian Bordeaux Granite presents a layered composition of soft gray, taupe, and cream tones interwoven with sweeping bands of warm rust, copper, and muted gold mineral activity. The surface is marked by broad, fluid movement, where elongated mineral formations stretch across the stone and intersect with finer granular textures, creating a dynamic, multi-directional pattern with depth and tonal variation.
On large exterior elevations, Hawaiian Bordeaux Granite introduces a sense of directional flow that can emphasize the length or orientation of a building, particularly where uninterrupted wall surfaces allow the pattern to develop across extended spans. Inside, vertical applications such as feature partitions, atrium walls, or multi-level interior cladding allow that same movement to carry through different zones, creating visual connections between levels and spaces without relying on repetition.
By reducing the stone to a thin layer and bonding it to an aluminum honeycomb backing, Hawaiian Bordeaux Granite is produced as a panel with a consistent thickness and a lighter overall weight. This shift in construction changes how the stone can be handled and positioned on vertical surfaces, allowing the sweeping mineral movement to be carried across installations that would otherwise be constrained by the weight of solid 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.
