Sequoia Granite is a strikingly fluid natural stone whose sweeping, linear movement sets it apart from more traditional granites. Broad bands of warm walnut brown, taupe, and café drift alongside cool silver-grey and soft sage green, all woven together by ribbons of creamy white that surge diagonally across the slab. The patterning is bold and directional — Sequoia Granite carries a strong sense of geological energy, with each slab presenting a composition that is entirely its own.
With its sweeping, directional grain, this stone is a natural fit for projects where stone is asked to do more than fill a wall — where it defines a space entirely. Airports, convention centers, and large-scale transit facilities offer the kind of expansive interior surfaces that allow Sequoia Granite's movement to fully unfold across wall cladding and column cladding alike. Resort and spa environments, corporate campus buildings, and mixed-use towers may also draw on its organic warmth, while its bold patterning translates compellingly to exterior rain screen facades and monumental building entries at an architectural scale.
When specified through StonePly, a thin layer of natural stone is bonded to an aluminum honeycomb backing, producing a composite panel that is substantially lighter than traditional full-thickness stone. Each panel is fabricated to meet the dimensional and detailing demands of the project, allowing Sequoia Granite to be seamlessly incorporated into a wide range of wall assembly types.

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.
