Lightweight Marble, Granite, and Limestone Thin Panels

Lightweight stone panels, crafted by cutting natural stone thin and mounting it to a honeycomb structure, represent an extraordinary innovation that mirrors the natural engineering marvel found in beehives. Bees, through evolutionary ingenuity, created hexagonal cells in their honeycombs, optimizing strength and minimizing material usage. Engineers took inspiration from this natural design, leading to its adoption in various industries, particularly in aerospace, where aluminum honeycomb cores provided exceptional strength-to-weight ratios.

About 40 years ago, this concept was applied to the stone industry, resulting in the development of thin stone veneers bonded to aluminum honeycomb panels. This breakthrough created lightweight, yet highly durable stone panels that could be used in a wide range of applications, from interior and exterior walls to facades and cladding.

The stone veneer, often only a few millimeters thick, maintains the beauty and elegance of natural stone while the aluminum honeycomb backing provides superior structural support. This combination reduces the overall weight of the panels by up to 80% compared to solid stone, making installation faster and more cost-effective. It also increases the stone’s flexibility and resistance to impact, preventing cracking or damage from stress or environmental factors.

Over the past four decades, the technology has been continuously refined, enhancing the adhesive bonding techniques, expanding the variety of stones used, and improving production processes. As a result, honeycomb stone panels are now available in a wide array of materials, including marble, granite, limestone, and travertine, catering to both aesthetic and functional needs.

Demand for these panels has surged due to their versatility and ability to reduce construction costs while retaining the luxurious appearance of natural stone. Architects, builders, and designers have embraced honeycomb stone panels for high-rise buildings, yachts, and even aircraft interiors, where lightweight materials are crucial without compromising design quality. Furthermore, the environmental benefits of using less natural stone while maximizing the efficiency of the material have contributed to the growing appeal of this innovative solution.

The result is a modern marvel of engineering and nature combined—what bees perfected in their hives, engineers have harnessed for the construction industry.

These honeycomb stone panels may as well be referred to as lightweight stone panels as they have their mass reduced with 80 % in comparison with pure natural stone which will create a weight reduction to any finished product.

This means a longer life span. Basically the stone honeycomb panel is a natural stone veneer laminated over a composite of aluminum or fiberglass honeycomb aluminum core.

Our company was established in 2001 and has been manufacturing lightweight stone cladding panels made from marble and granite with projects all over the United States of America. Customers want to feel comfortable when investing in any type of project, knowing that the company they are going to work with will be able to guarantee its products not only now but also in the long run.

Exterior Natural Stone Cladding

Our professional team makes every exterior stone cladding panel up to the standards and quality required. Every panel is allowed the necessary time in order to be inspected and tested before leaving our facility. The satisfaction of our customers is the main objective of our company. You may rely on our professionalism, honesty and top craftsmanship. You receive the best quality in lightweight stone paneling, as well as the right price and the fastest delivery time.
Why should you choose our lightweight stone cladding products?
We combine an ultra thin stone sheet reinforced with a honeycomb aluminum or fiberglass honeycomb panel.
This offers three major advantages: you keep the beauty of the natural stone that is lightweight and has better resistance.

Natural stone is a highly desirable product, whether it comes down to construction projects or decoration purposes.

Architects, engineers and designers always go for what’s unique and exquisite, and natural stone meets both criteria. The lightweight stone panels are inspired by nature and made possible thanks to high end technology.

Ever since Antiquity mathematicians struggled to find the structure that uses the least material to create a surface and thus have a minimum of weight.

The stone sheet can be selected from any class of stone: granite, marble, onyx, and limestone. This type of composite is now needed on every market offering endless advantages. The result is a steady structure easy to be installed and superior to pure stone in terms of weight, smoothness, insulation against heat and sound absorbing, fireproof and environmentally friendly.

Imagine luxurious interiors and exteriors for facades or flooring , covering yachts, cruise ferries, elevator cabins, wall paneling for every type of commercial and residential building through the process of stone cladding ,and nevertheless for inside usage like interior commercial lobby, decorative wall, shower wall. Wall panels can be easy installed, dismantled and reused for temporary displaying purposes.

We have entered a new stone age where only the lack of imagination might be the limit for our possibilities. You will find it no longer difficult to sacrifice design and style over technical issues.
