New River White Granite Panels by StonePly
New River White Granite presents a cool gray to soft white field with layered linear movement running across the surface. Fine mineral striations and elongated veining are interspersed with subtle darker accents, creating a horizontally oriented composition with gentle variation and a consistent, flowing character.
Its directional patterning allows New River White Granite to be incorporated into exterior cladding systems where the linear movement can extend across façade planes and reinforce the geometry of the building envelope. On interior vertical surfaces, it can be used for wall cladding in lobbies, circulation paths, and large-scale feature areas, where the continuous veining reads across panels and supports a cohesive architectural expression.
A thin layer of New River White Granite is bonded to an aluminum honeycomb backing, reducing overall panel weight while maintaining the visual depth of the stone. This panel construction supports efficient fabrication, simplified installation, and seamless integration with contemporary attachment systems used in facade assemblies.

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.
