Bolivian Soda Granite Panels by StonePly
Bolivian Soda Granite features a striking composition of deep cobalt and indigo blue mineral fields set within a soft gray to pale beige background. The surface is defined by bold, irregular movement, where saturated blue zones shift between dense concentrations and more diffuse formations. Lighter mineral areas move through the composition, creating contrast and giving the stone a layered, expressive character.
Exterior applications include wall cladding, facade systems, and vertical building elements where a consistent, visually active surface is desired. Interior uses include lobby walls, interior cladding, and large-scale vertical installations in commercial, hospitality, and institutional projects, where the variation in pattern provides visual interest without repetition.
StonePly panels are created by attaching a thin layer of Bolivian Soda Granite to an aluminum honeycomb backing, forming a composite panel with uniform thickness. This configuration reduces overall weight compared to traditional stone while supporting efficient handling, installation flexibility, and compatibility with a wide range of vertical wall systems.

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.
