About StoneLite®

StoneLite®

The StoneLite® Brand

StoneLite® is a natural stone composite panel comprised of a thin stone veneer and an aluminum honeycomb backing bonded between impervious, high-strength, fiber-reinforced skin.  Our StoneLite® panels may be produced from almost any natural stone; including limestone, granite, sandstone, and slate.  Our natural stone panels are the perfect choice for exterior, interior, and renovation applications.

Why StoneLite® is the premier cladding solution

TESTED

StoneLite® panels are tested and have withstood the test of time for over 40 years and have been installed on buildings all over the world.

  • Certified by ICC, BBA, and CSTB
  • Acid Freeze-Thaw
  • Air and Water Infiltration
  • Structural and Impact Load
  • USBC Approval & Quality Control Testing
  • Fire Testing including NFPA 285
  • Full Scale Arena Blast Test
  • Attachment System Testing
  • Miami Dade NOA

SPEED & EASE OF INSTALLATION

StoneLite® panels are proven to reduce the costs associated with installation, and the ability to easily install StoneLite® panels allows for scheduling flexibility.

  • Reduced labor and on-site staging requirements
  • Limited or no crane time
  • Limited or no field cuts
  • May be installed over existing cladding eliminating demolition and haul off costs

STRENGTH & FLEXIBILITY

StoneLite® panels are stronger and more flexible than traditional dimensional stone. Impact strength 60x greater than 3cm stone.

  • Panels are flexible and ideal in regions prone to hurricanes and earthquakes.
  • Dependence on stone for load-bearing purposes becomes inconsequential.

LIGHTWEIGHT

StoneLite® panels are 80% lighter than 3cm dimensional stone.  Panel averages 3-4 lbs. per sq. ft. compared to 20-30 lbs. per sq. ft. of traditional 3cm stone.

Substantial reductions in the structure and foundations of a building are possible and this can have a profound effect on the amount of steel and concrete required.

SUSTAINABLE

StoneLite® panels meet some of the 2009 LEED V3 criteria and the newer LEED V4 being adopted.

Product data includes panel strength, lateral load capacity, limited section details,  and panel properties.
