				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Thin sandstone veneer cladding from StonePly. </strong></p>
<p>Sandstone faced StonePly veneer cladding is composed of an aluminum honeycomb base with a sandstone veneer permanently bonded to the face.  Sandstone is a sedimentary stone, made up primarily of sand sized grains of minerals. The most common minerals in sandstone are quartz and feldspar.  Sandstone veneer cladding panels are available in almost any color, the most common being red, brown, yellow, tan, pink, gray and white.</p>
<p>StonePly sandstone veneer cladding panels are generally used in a smooth sawn or honed finish. Sandstone is not available in a polished surface.  Sandstone in a honed finish provides a smooth, non-reflective surface. Rougher surfaces are available with bush hammered or sandblasted sandstone.</p>
<p>Compared to slabs of sandstone , StonePly thin sandstone veneer offers lighter weight, greater strength (60 times stronger), secure mechanical fastening and easier detailing, install and support.</p>
<p>Sandstone used with StonePly, lightweight <a href="https://www.stoneply.com/en/applications/">veneer cladding panels</a> include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Agra Red sandstone</li>
<li>Autumn Brown sandstone</li>
<li>Rainbow Sandstone</li>
<li>Teakwood Sandstone</li>
<li>Coffee Sandstone</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Applications for StonePly sandstone veneer cladding include:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Curtain wall cladding</li>
<li>Stone spandrel panels</li>
<li>Store front</li>
<li>Elevator walls and floors</li>
<li>Signs</li>
<li>Interior and exterior walls</li>
</ul>

<p><strong>The problem with solid stone cladding in a fire:</strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Solid stone cladding does not burn and it is more <a href="https://www.stoneply.com/en/info/stone-cladding-comparison/">fire resistant</a> than many cladding choices. While solid stone cladding does not burn, 1 ½” to 3” un-reinforced solid stone cladding panels can present a hazard in high rise fires. When heated, unreinforced stones can shatter and fall, especially when rapidly cooled by water used by fire fighters. Fire can also weaken the metal anchors used for the stone attachment. The heavy shattered stone presents a safety risk to rescue personnel and surrounding areas.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://www.stone-panel.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/Fire-and-Ice-background-removed.jpg" rel="lightbox[37]" title="Fire Resistance of StonePly lightweight stone cladding panels"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1345" src="https://www.stone-panel.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/Fire-and-Ice-background-removed-300x260.jpg" alt="fire-and-ice-background-removed" width="300" height="260" /></a></p>
<h4 class="MsoNormal"><strong>The <a title="Stone Panels by StonePly" href="http://www.stoneply.com" target="_blank">StonePly</a> solution:</strong></h4>
<p class="MsoNormal">Like solid stone, StonePly cladding is class A (or type I ) fire rated. In addition, the stone skin of StonePly is bonded to the aluminum reinforcing behind the stone. This holds the thin stone cladding together during rapid heating or cooling and prevents the life safety danger of large heavy sections of stone falling on rescue personnel or others on the street below.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>What are the benefits of using StonePly <a href="https://www.stoneply.com/en/info/stone-cladding-comparison/">natural stone panels vs. full slab stone</a>?</strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Lower Weight</strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;">StonePly natural stone panels only weigh about 3.5 pounds per square foot. StonePly thin stone panels weigh 80 percent less than thick stone panels making them superior to thick, heavy stone panels.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<strong>Higher Strength</strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;">StonePly stone panel cladding consists of a natural thin stone panel adhered with aviation epoxy to an aluminum substrate such as honeycomb or composite material.The rigidness of the aluminum substrate allows the stone face to be very thin but strong and durable at the same time.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Faster Installation</strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;">Because StonePly is a thin stone panel attached to a strong, but lightweight aluminum backing they are <a href="https://www.stoneply.com/en/info/installation/">easier to install</a>. In most cases, StonePly light weight stone panels install with minimal effort. Also, since the stone panel cladding system requires no mortar, installation can proceed in almost any type of weather.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><br />
Impact Resistant</strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;">With StonePly stone panel cladding, every square inch of stone is adhered to a rigid aluminium backing.This makes the stone face strong and <a href="https://www.stoneply.com/en/info/testing/">impact resistant</a>. StonePly stone panels have 60x the impact strength of a 1.5 inch thick stone panel. StonePly stone panels have been tested and proven to hold up in hurricanes, earth quakes, and tropical storms.</p>
