Cascadura Granite Panels by StonePly
Cascadura Granite presents a warm, layered composition of creamy whites and pale grays intersected by sweeping bands of ochre, gold, and umber. Cascadura Granite carries a directional movement, with mineral-rich striations and granular textures shifting from soft, diffused areas into more concentrated, earthy deposits, giving the surface both depth and visual energy.
Applications for Cascadura Granite can extend to exterior wall cladding, entry portals, and vertical façade elements where variation and movement enhance the architectural expression with a bold yet refined character. Interior use may include feature walls, lobby surfaces, and circulation corridors, where Cascadura Granite introduces warmth and texture with a composed, elevated presence.
StonePly fabricates Cascadura Granite as a thin layer of natural stone bonded to an aluminum honeycomb backing, resulting in panels that are significantly lighter than traditional full-thickness stone. This construction provides uniform thickness, reduces overall load, and supports efficient installation while preserving the visual richness of Cascadura Granite.

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.
