Amarone Granite Panels by StonePly
Amarone Granite features a richly layered blend of espresso brown, charcoal, black, and warm bronze tones with scattered crystalline highlights. The surface is densely patterned, with interlocking mineral formations and irregular movement that create depth and visual texture across the slab. Its overall character is dark, dramatic, and highly dimensional.
For exterior applications, Amarone Granite can be specified for ventilated façade systems, architectural wall panels, and defined entry volumes where a deeper color palette enhances contrast within the building envelope. Inside, it lends itself well to feature cladding in hospitality environments, corporate lobbies, vertical circulation areas, and other prominent interior walls that call for a strong architectural statement.
StonePly panels are fabricated by bonding a thin layer of Amarone Granite to an aluminum honeycomb backing, forming a lightweight composite panel that reduces overall weight compared to traditional dimensional stone. This construction preserves the natural surface and depth of the granite while improving handling and installation efficiency.

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.
