Amadeus Granite Panels by StonePly
Amadeus Granite is a dark granite with flowing charcoal and graphite movement, punctuated by white quartz clusters and subtle rose mineral accents. Deep black and smoky gray currents sweep across the surface, while soft blush tones emerge within crystalline pockets, adding complexity and warmth to the composition. The overall effect is bold yet nuanced, with layered movement that gives the stone a dramatic architectural presence.
Amadeus Granite is well suited for projects that call for a darker cladding material with visual complexity rather than a uniform finish. It can be specified for exterior rainscreen systems, architectural screen walls, and dimensional cladding zones that require depth and shadow. In interior commercial environments, it performs effectively as full-height wall cladding and defined vertical architectural surfaces where durability and impact resistance are priorities.
When fabricated as a StonePly panel system, Amadeus Granite is adhered to an aluminum honeycomb backing, significantly reducing weight while maintaining durability and long-term performance. This system allows designers to incorporate richly patterned dark stone into panelized building assemblies with greater installation efficiency and design flexibility.

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.
