Acquiem Quartzite Granite Panels by StonePly
Acquiem Quartzite is a soft green quartzite layered with sweeping bands of sage, celadon, and pale ivory. Fine charcoal veining and delicate golden threads move diagonally across the surface, giving the stone a sense of fluid motion and natural depth.
Acquiem Quartzite performs exceptionally well on exterior façade systems, parapet walls, and architectural screening elements where its layered pattern can unfold across broad elevations. Indoors, it is well suited for vertical cladding, statement partitions, and integrated wall panels that emphasize height and scale without overwhelming a space.
Fabricated as StonePly lightweight panels, Acquiem Quartzite is bonded to an aluminum honeycomb backing to significantly reduce weight while retaining the visual richness of full-thickness stone. This system enhances installation efficiency and long-term durability while maintaining the integrity of the material.

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.
