World-wide Suppliers of Ultra-Lite Marble, Granite & Limestone Panels

Stone Panels, Inc. originated and pioneered the unique manufacturing process that has established us as the world's first and largest light-weight natural stone panel manufacturer. Tough, durable, maintenance-free Ultra-Lite Stone weight only 3.3 lbs./sq. ft. (16 kg/sq. m) about the same as 1/4-inch (6 mm) thick glass.

OUR PRODUCT

Combining the aerospace technology of aluminum honeycomb with the timeless beauty of natural granites, marbles and limestones, Ultra-Lite Stone can be used for applications and on projects typically considered weight-or cost-prohibitive.

Our aluminum honeycomb-reinforced panels keep the beauty of natural stone and eliminate its fragile, brittle properties.

Tough, durable Stone Panels offer fantastic impact resistance and flexural strength provided by our patented manufacturing process. They can resist up to 60 times more impact than solid 3 cm solid granite. These panels can be flexed making them ideal for seismic locations.

Ultra-Lite Stone is impervious to water penetration, even with open structured ,stones such as travertine. The fiber-reinforced epoxy skin, directly behind the stone, provides a waterproof barrier, thereby eliminating the need for a secondary layer of protection.

LIMITATION

Ultra-Lite stone is not a residential product This system is designed for commercial construction.
