Today, monolithic is growing in popularity in cladding spaces. Large-format stone panels as best as possible reflect these trends, minimizing the number of stitches, allowing creating a monolithic effect and visually more harmoniously unite the space.
The less stitches, the better the cladding is perceived, creating the illusion of uniformity and scale, making the cladding more expressive and presentable, emphasizing the purity of lines, elegance and exclusivity of the facing space, effectively creating an atmosphere of luxury and spaciousness.
The large size stone panels allow for faster completion of cladding works, as the cladding of large areas requires a smaller number of products, which allows you to optimize resources and save on cladding works.
Natural stone in large formats is not used on facades due to its weight, the heterogeneity of the structure and the difficulty of fixing large formats; Duramica XL lightweight natural stone panels allow the use of natural stone in formats:
up to 2500x1200 mm on ceramica base - Duramica DuraSkin
Weight: ± 36 kg/m²
up to 3800 x 1800 mm on aluminium honeycom base - Duramica Duramet
Weight: ± 14-35 kg/m²
Duramica ultra thin natural stone panels allow the use of natural stone on façades, both as panels and as prefabricated products, and also for interior applications.
Duramica XL lightweight stone panels are versatile, suitable for both traditional facades and ventilated facades. These slim stone panels provide a sleek, durable solution for facade panels, combining the timeless beauty of natural stone with modern technologies for ventilated cladding and wall systems.
