StonePly Stone Panels and Fires

Solid stone cladding does not burn in a fire like other construction materials would. The problem with traditional 3cm thick stone cladding panel systems is that the heat from the fire and the rapid cooling by the water causes the panels to crack and shatter. Large pieces of the thick stone can fall from high rises and be a huge hazard to people, buildings, and objects below. The 3cm thick stone panels are held up by metal anchors and fire can weaken these anchors also causing these panels to fall causing a safety risk to others.
StonePly eliminates the risk of large pieces of stone falling from buildings because the thin layer of stone is bonded over every square inch with aviation epoxies to aviation approved honeycomb panels. These honeycomb panels are noncombustible and reinforce the stone. StonePly stone panel cladding has a class A or type 1 fire rating according to ASTM E 84-01. StonePly stone panels do not pose the threat of traditional 3cm panels in a fire, are comparable in price, are lightweight, and are easier to install.

StonePly presents unlimited stone choices from almost anywhere in the world. Architects and designers can choose from granite, marble, limestone, travertine, alabaster, onyx, sandstone, and slate. One unique option that StonePly offers is StonePly translucent stone panels. StonePly translucent has three components: glass, stone, and epoxy. The glass can be either tempered or laminated. The stone should be a translucent onyx, alabaster, or marble (white marbles work well). The glass is laminated to the translucent stone using a translucent epoxy so that it does not interfer with the beautiful color of the stone. StonePly translucent stone panels can be used as lighted walls, security screens, wall sconces, light coves, and elevator ceiling panels.

StonePly has a lightweight solution for not only elevator walls but elevator flooring. Traditional elevator flooring can be slow and labor intensive to install. It requires a lot of substructure and using mortar to secure the tiles can be messy and add unnecessary weight. The biggest advantage to StonePly stone panel elevator flooring is that it is prefabricated for immediate installation without the use of mortar. The installation is easy and can be preformed by a carpenter or handyman. The elevator floor panels can be installed using a silicone adhesive or a concealed tab installation method.
Most any design can be incorporated into your elevator floor plan. We will detail out the drawings for approval before fabrication. Simple elevator floors only require use of one type of stone while others require use of more than one type of stone. No matter what your flooring needs are, StonePly can supply it.
