DuraMet Cladding Honeycomb Stone Panels: The Epitome of Lightweight Elegance

DuraMet cladding panel is an ultra-light and the thinnest large-format composite with natural stone veneer, based on a honeycomb aluminum sheet. In addition to flat plates laminated stone, arches, columns, and angles are also produced.

Standard Format:

Size: 3500 x 1500 mm ≤ (≈ 149.6″ x 59.1″ ≤),
some kinds of stones 3800 x 1800 mm ≤ (≈ 149.6″ x 70.9″ ≤)
Stone Thickness: ≥ 5 mm (≥ 3/16″)
Base Thickness: 15, 20, 25 mm (≈ 5/8″, 3/4″, 1″)
Weight: ± 14-35 kg/m² (≈ 2.9-7.2 lb/ft²)
Applications: Facades, Ventilated facades, Interiors, Columns

Please note that panels can be produced in large formats up to 3800 mm in length.

However, not all stone slabs are available in such dimensions.

Availability depends on the specific type of stone and must be checked individually.

We can also bond two panels onto a single aluminum honeycomb base to achieve

the required size.

Advantages of DuraMet:

Unprecedented light weight for stone panels
Capability for large format production
Ability to create whole angular and radius elements
Feasibility to produce light columns
Ability to achieve perfect geometry

DuraMet aluminium honeycomb panel is used with: any type of marbles (incl. limestone, sandstone, travertine, slate, jura stone), granite, gemstones, mother of pearl, terazzo.

DuraMet offers the elegance of natural stone lightweight stone panels, combined with the modern technological advancements of lightweight and geometric precision. It caters to a diverse array of architectural needs, blending aesthetic appeal with structural integrity. Each honeycomb stone panel embodies innovation, offering solutions that are as enduring as they are visually captivating.

VENTILATED FACADES

Due to their lightweight nature and simple facade cladding systems, DuraMet panels represent an ideal solution for incorporation into ventilated cladding systems. Beyond offering substantial cost savings and rapid installation, DuraMet ventilated facade panels boast a plethora of advantages for integration within ventilated wall systems. These DuraMet lightened stone panels emerge as a versatile and robust alternative to traditional natural stone. Their array of benefits, including enhanced durability, design adaptability, diminished weight, resistance to staining, minimal upkeep requirements, and long-term cost-effectiveness, position them as a compelling choice across various applications, notably in ventilated curtain walls.

DURAMICA VS. NATURAL STONE

ULTRA-THIN AND LIGHTWEIGHT COLUMNS, SEAMLESS CORNERS
AND INTRICATE ELEMENTS

Duramica provides unique opportunities for creating seamless corner and intricate elements, as well as ultra-thin columns using DuraMet stone veneer on an aluminum honeycomb panel. Seamless corner elements ensure an elegant and modern appearance, adding sophistication and individuality to the project. The ability to work with the material in various forms opens up broad perspectives for design and architectural creativity, allowing the realization of the boldest and most original concepts. Meanwhile, the use of ultra-thin columns with DuraMet stone veneer on an aluminum honeycomb panel ensures incredible cost savings compared to solid stone columns.

CURVED PANELS AND COLUMNS

Duramica pushes boundaries and shatters preconceived notions, literally bending natural stone!

The Duramica process allows stone to be shaped according to the curvature radius of your project.

Large-scale stones and curved stone are no longer incompatible ideas.

The radius of columns and curved stone panels can be both external and internal!
