StonePly lightweight stone panels are great for a number of applications including healthcare.

StonePly stone panels are not only economically cost effecient, they are clean, natural, trendy, and durable.  The natural stone face is easier to clean than traditional painted walls, tile, stainless steal, and concrete.  They are available in a variety of colors and they provide a more comforting atmosphere for patients compared to “sterile white” walls.

StonePly stone panels are lightweight and should not cause added strain to the building, they are easy to install, and easy to clean and maintain.  For more information on the different applications for StonePly’s lightweight stone panels please see our applications page.
