Monaco Granite Panels by StonePly
Monaco Granite is defined by a rich, warm composition of rust, terracotta, and deep copper tones layered with sweeping mineral movement. Broad, directional veining is interwoven with darker accents and granular textures, creating a dynamic surface with pronounced variation and depth that reads as highly expressive across each slab.
In exterior conditions, Monaco Granite can be specified for ventilated facade systems, architectural cladding, and soffit installations where a more dramatic and variegated stone surface is desired. Interior vertical applications can include feature walls in lobby environments, elevator cores, and transitional spaces, where the movement and color variation introduce visual energy and establish focal points within the design.
A thin layer of Monaco Granite is bonded to an aluminum honeycomb backing, reducing overall panel weight while maintaining the visual depth of the stone. This panel construction allows for precise fabrication, improved handling during installation, and straightforward integration with contemporary facade attachment systems.

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.
