Natural stone has long been a staple of building construction primarily due to its strength, durability and aesthetic appeal. With endless design and functional possibilities that enhance the look and performance of exterior or interior environments, natural stone will continue to be a component of modern design and construction.
However, much like other building materials, producers of natural stone building products are evolving their offerings to meet the demands of architects and building owners for cost-effective, installer-friendly materials that lead to high-performing and resilient buildings and homes. As such, a growing number of building designers are turning to lightweight natural stone panels with honeycomb reinforced backing, as these systems provide the beauty of natural stone but with considerable material, labor, and installation benefits.
