StoneLite® panels keep the beauty of natural stone and eliminate its fragile, brittle and variable properties. They are
frequently installed on lobby walls, ceilings and reception
desks. The impact resistant lightweight stone is easy to handle
and does not require heavy lifting equipment. Large size panels
provide design flexibility.

 Sacramento Courthouse Rotunda Sacramento, CA |
|
The combination of StoneLite® Natural Stone, state of the art computer aided design and CNC machining to cut the oblique shapes, have allowed the creation of the rotunda for the
Sacramento Courthouse in Sacramento, CA. More than 10,000 different pieces each having a slightly different size and different trapezium
shape clad the sloping walls in this elliptic, ever-changing radius room. Stone Panels used a CNC saw to cut each piece
to size. Each panel was drawn to scale using Autocad and then
programmed into the CNC machine to be cut. Each piece was labeled
with it's individual location and shipped to the jobsite. All of
the pieces fit exactly as they were planned.
The panels are installed using simple
carpentry tools and are easily field cut with a
dry-cut diamond blade in a portable saw. They can be installed in an
occupied building with minimal disturbance to the occupants and can be installed very quickly by trades who are already on the project, eliminating the need to bring in specialized labor. They bring the beauty of natural stone, without the difficulty.
StoneLite® panels provide a natural stone finish to a building while insuring that it is an extremely strong, safe installation that will withstand the test of time.

 Embarcadero Center - San Francisco, CA |
|
At Embarcadero Centers I, II, III, & IV in San Francisco, StoneLite® Vilhonneur limestone was fabricated to appear as thick, heavy stone cladding the walls of three lobby levels in each of the four buildings plus the desks, and 80 elevator cabs.
All work was done between the hours of 8:00 PM and 6:00 am without any disturbance to the occupants. The panels were supplied in pre-assembled modules, stored in a parking garage in the basement, and loaded into the elevators to be brought up to the lobbies as required.
The panels were installed directly over the fractured rib concrete, with no additional framing required. The added value of maintenance-free natural stone enhances occupancy demand.

The warm tone of limestone from
the Savoy region of France helped
create a dramatic statement on
both the interior and exterior of
this Atrium feature wall. The 2’- 8”
high x 4’- 4” wide modules set in a
coursed pattern lends a traditional
element to this modern 3-story
facility on the banks of the North
Platte River.
In renovation, using StoneLite® panels for over-cladding is usually the most cost effective solution. Covering existing walls saves the expense of removing and disposing of the existing cladding. When over-cladding with Stone Panels, building occupants can remain with minimal disturbance, and the location continues to produce income.

Gallup University - Omaha, Nebraska |
 Esnet Office Building - Provo, Utah |
|
Complex shapes, having both polished
and flamed finishes, were fabricated for the interior spaces of
the Esnet Office Building in Provo, Utah. The lightweight Dakota
Mahogany granite panels were quickly and easily attached using
adhesive over gypsum wallboard in the elevator lobbies, on the
bench walls and planters, and on column covers and fascias at the
front and rear entries. StoneLite® granite was also installed in
the elevator cabs.
StoneLite® panels also provide a quick return on investment for the building owner as the natural stone finish upgrades their image, increasing occupancy and tenant satisfaction.
