Aspen Granite Panels by StonePly
Aspen Granite presents a deep charcoal to dark gray background marked by scattered white mineral flecks and subtle crystalline variation. The surface shows a fine, evenly distributed pattern with small light inclusions dispersed across the darker field. Slight tonal shifts and granular texture give Aspen Granite a compact, consistent visual character.
Exterior applications may include ventilated rainscreen assemblies, entry pavilions, and freestanding architectural walls where Aspen Granite is installed as a continuous stone surface. Interior installations may extend to atrium wall cladding, reception area feature walls, and gallery interiors where Aspen Granite forms expansive vertical stone planes.
StonePly fabricates Aspen Granite panels by laminating a thin layer of the granite to an aluminum honeycomb backing. This construction method reduces the overall weight of the stone assembly while retaining the natural granite face. These composite panels are manufactured for integration into contemporary façade assemblies and interior stone cladding installations.

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.
