Bianco Antico Granite Panels by StonePly
Bianco Antico Granite features a light cream to soft gray background layered with dense clusters of mineral patterning in charcoal, taupe, and warm brown tones. Subtle movement runs through the slab in broad, flowing bands, while tighter granular areas create contrast and texture across the surface. The overall composition of Bianco Antico Granite balances quiet, neutral fields with more active sections, giving it a varied but controlled visual character.
Lighter in tone but visually active, Bianco Antico Granite can be integrated into exterior building skins, vertical cladding zones, and articulated façade elements where a softer palette is needed without appearing flat. Inside, it can be applied to interior wall systems, entry sequences, or feature surfaces, where the combination of movement and fine patterning provides visual depth across panelized installations.
StonePly panels are fabricated by bonding a thin layer of Bianco Antico Granite to an aluminum honeycomb backing, creating a panel system with reduced overall weight compared to traditional solid stone. This approach provides a consistent panel thickness while supporting use in a variety of cladding conditions.

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.
