Barricato Granite Panels by StonePly
Barricato Granite is a gold and olive-toned granite characterized by sweeping movement of cream, amber, moss green, and charcoal mineral formations. Broad fields of warm golden color are interrupted by darker linear separations and irregular crystalline deposits, creating pronounced contrast across the surface. Fractured white quartz segments interlock with layered green and rust accents, producing a textured and visually active composition.
Barricato Granite can be specified for exterior cladding zones within mixed-use developments, vertical façade accents, and soffit installations that benefit from strong natural variation. Inside, the stone is effective for atrium enclosures, feature walls behind reception areas, column wraps, and interior architectural volumes that serve as visual anchors within hospitality and academic buildings.
As a StonePly system, Barricato Granite is fabricated into lightweight panels by bonding a thin layer of stone to an aluminum honeycomb backing. This configuration reduces overall weight while preserving the dimensional presence of full-thickness stone. The panelized approach streamlines field installation and allows the material to be incorporated into contemporary wall assemblies with greater efficiency.

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.
