Kinawa Granite Panels by StonePly
Kinawa Granite features a deep brown to charcoal base layered with sweeping, linear movement in tones of muted pink, rust, black, and soft taupe. The pattern reads as fluid and directional, with tight mineral composition supporting pronounced banding that gives the surface a sense of motion and depth.
Ideal for exterior cladding, rainscreen assemblies, and architectural envelope applications, this granite introduces visual energy to building facades without relying on high contrast. Within interior environments, it is well suited for feature walls, vertical cladding in hospitality settings, and transitional spaces where a more expressive material can define circulation or focal zones.
Rather than a traditional full-bed stone panel, Kinawa Granite is fabricated as a thin stone layer bonded to an aluminum honeycomb backing, allowing for a significant reduction in weight while retaining the character of the natural surface. This panelized system supports efficient handling and aligns with contemporary installation methods used in modern façade construction.

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.
