Lapidus Granite Panels by StonePly
Lapidus Granite is a gold and brown granite with sweeping movement in honey, caramel, taupe, and charcoal. Warm golden fields are layered with flowing mineral ribbons and darker veining that cut diagonally across the surface, creating depth and dramatic contrast. The overall character is rich and expressive, with bold patterning that reads strongly at architectural scale.
Lapidus Granite is particularly effective for exterior wall cladding and prominent façade zones where its layered gold and brown tones can anchor the architectural palette. In interior environments, it lends itself to lobby feature walls, vertical core areas, and other expansive surfaces, introducing warmth and movement that elevate large public spaces without relying on applied ornament.
StonePly fabricates Lapidus Granite by bonding a thin granite facing to an aluminum honeycomb panel, creating a substantially lighter alternative to conventional stone slabs. The reduced panel weight supports larger format layouts, simplifies handling during installation, and offers greater flexibility in coordinating with curtain wall and rainscreen 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.
