Product catalog summary
Introduction
Stone Panels, Inc. has pioneered a unique manufacturing process for lightweight natural stone wall cladding. The process involves sandwiching natural stone between aluminum honeycomb panels using a high-strength epoxy, resulting in panels that are significantly lighter and stronger than traditional stone slabs.
Advantages
The panels offer superior flexural and impact strength, tested to withstand over 400 lbs./sq. ft. wind load. They are cost-effective in terms of installation and structural requirements, being 80% lighter than solid granite. The panels are easy to handle and can be installed over existing cladding, passing numerous aging tests for long-term performance.
Exteriors
The panels provide the aesthetic of natural stone while reducing structural and installation costs. They have been used globally for over 35 years, proving durable against environmental challenges. Notable projects include the McDonalds Hotel in the UK and Banco Popular in Puerto Rico.
Renovation
StoneLite™ panels are ideal for renovation, allowing for installation without structural reinforcement. They can be attached to existing systems, saving costs and minimizing disruption to building occupants. Projects include the Moscow International Business Center and Meridian Plaza in California.
Interiors
These panels are used in interior applications such as lobbies and reception areas, offering easy installation and maintenance-free natural stone aesthetics. They enhance property value and can be installed with minimal disruption. Examples include the U.S. Courthouse in California and Gallup University in Nebraska.
Elevator & Specialty Products
The panels are also used in elevators, marine, and aircraft applications due to their lightweight and impact-resistant properties. They offer significant savings and durability, with projects like the Supreme Court Building in South Korea and Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.
Product Data
Average panel weight is 3.3 lbs./sq. ft., with standard thicknesses of 15/16” and 9/16”. The panels meet various code acceptances and have been tested for performance criteria including fire resistance, wind load, and seismic shear.
