Astoria Granite Panels by StonePly
Astoria Granite presents a soft composition of warm beige and pale taupe tones layered across a finely textured background. Subtle mineral speckling and faint linear movement pass gently through the surface, creating quiet tonal variation within the stone. The pattern appears diffuse and evenly distributed, giving Astoria Granite a calm and balanced visual presence.
Across exterior architecture, Astoria Granite may be specified for full-building cladding systems, expansive architectural wall fields, and monumental entry volumes where a light-toned granite defines broad vertical surfaces. Interior installations can extend to atrium walls, large-scale lobby environments, and public interior cladding where Astoria Granite forms continuous stone surfaces across tall interior spaces.
StonePly produces Astoria Granite panels by laminating a thin layer of the stone to an aluminum honeycomb backing. This fabrication approach significantly reduces the weight of the stone assembly while retaining the natural granite surface. The finished panels are manufactured for incorporation into exterior building envelopes and vertically oriented interior stone 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.
