Solaris Granite Panels by StonePly
Solaris Granite presents a warm, golden-beige field layered with dense crystalline movement and clustered mineral formations. Broad feldspar crystals in soft amber and sand tones are interspersed with darker mineral concentrations and fine black and brown accents, creating a highly active, granular composition with depth rather than directional flow.
Designed to integrate across a range of building conditions, Solaris Granite can be used for exterior applications such as ventilated façade systems, wall cladding across building envelopes, and architectural enclosures, as well as interior vertical surfaces including feature walls, elevator lobbies, and circulation corridors. Its varied patterning supports continuity across larger panel layouts without relying on linear veining.
A thin layer of Solaris Granite is bonded to an aluminum honeycomb backing, creating panels with a consistent thickness and reduced weight compared to traditional stone. This panelized approach can be used in systems that respond to complex layouts, tight tolerances, and a range of attachment conditions, while maintaining the natural character of Solaris Granite.

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.
