Lightweight Stone & GRC

Innovation meets timeless appeal with our lightweight stone and glass reinforced concrete (GRC) rainscreen cladding systems. Combining the sophistication of stone with the advantages of lightweight construction, these innovative solutions offer a superb blend of aesthetics and functionality for your building exteriors.

Lightweight Stone Cladding

Our lightweight stone cladding typically features a thin layer of natural stone, such as granite, marble, or limestone, adhered to a lightweight backing material. Stoneguard is an approved installer of all high quality systems including Aliva, Cristofoli and Generix.

Timeless Elegance: Retaining the authentic beauty of stone, this cladding system adds an elegant and sophisticated charm to building exteriors.

Lighter Facades: Our innovative lightweight backing materials significantly reduce the weight of the cladding system, making it suitable for both new construction and retrofit projects.

Easier Installation: The lightness of this cladding system makes installation more straightforward, potentially eliminating the need for specialised equipment.

Structural Harmony: The lightweight nature of the system doesn’t just reduce weight; it enhances structural integrity by placing minimal stress on the building's framework.

Glass Reinforced Concrete (GRC) Cladding

Our GRC composites blend cement, sand, and alkali-resistant glass fibres to deliver a highly mouldable and lightweight cladding. With the flexibility to form virtually any shape, this versatile material can be moulded into panels or shapes to create diverse cladding elements.

As an approved installer, Stoneguard has partnered with leading suppliers BB Fiberbeton and Pura Facades to deliver stunning finishes.

Lightweight Advantage: Significantly lighter than traditional precast concrete, GRC makes for relatively easy handling and installation.

Impressive Durability: Weather-resistant and resilient to harsh environmental conditions, GRC delivers long-term performance with minimal maintenance.

Design Versatility: moulded into a plethora of shapes and profiles, GRC opens the door to diverse design possibilities.

Sustainability: GRC typically demands less material and energy in production compared to traditional concrete, making it an excellent choice for eco-friendly construction.

Ease of Upkeep: Both Lightweight Stone and GRC systems require minimal maintenance, with only occasional cleaning needed to maintain their appearance.
