African Red Granite Cladding Panels: Seeing Red
StonePly's African Red stone panels utilize natural beauty and modern advances in construction. The natural stone is combined with the superior technology of aluminum honeycomb. It is this addition of the aluminum metal that makes the stone panels up to 60 times stronger than other stone cladding materials. Moreover, the same technology that strengthened the natural material also makes it more practical. Stoneply's stone panels are lightweight and easy to install, lessening the cost of labor and shortening construction time by up to 50 percent.
Red is the color of desire. Aptly, African Red Granite can inspire yearning to those who come across it. Also known as Rosso Africa Granite and St. John's granite, it is an exquisite stone distinguished by its fiery red color. Its hue instantly commands attention and thus makes for an excellent choice to those who are not afraid to make a bold statement.
Quarried primarily in South Africa for which it is named, African Red Granite, when bonded to reinforcing in the StonePly cladding system, is an ideal construction material because of its strength and endurance. Since it is a kind of granite, one of the hardest of stones, it is meant to last. As a testament to its hardiness, special diamond-tipped cutters are needed to carve out the raw granite.
With this kind of overt strength, and a billion year track record of durability, the distress caused by the environment does not pose a problem. African Red granite stone panels do not scratch easily and are practically impervious to biological stains such as mold and mildew. Thus, it is a sanitary material and can be used in health care facilities as well as spas and saunas. It can also be used as wall claddings, elevator panels, as well as for other commercial applications.
African Red Granite stone panels come in a variety of finishes such as honed, polished, or scored. There is one available for every design purpose. Because of the array of choices, it is an ideal material to carry out an architectural vision. The results are only bound by the creativity of those who make use of the material.
More than just its distinctive color, African Red Granite has the ability to provoke desire in those who want to create structures that are more beautiful than the norm. But this material is more than just a tease. It does not make promises it cannot deliver. Surely, African Red is all that it represents to be. With its innate beauty and strength, Stoneply's African Red granite stone panels are a lure worth succumbing to.
