Application Guide

Granite for Exterior Façades

Cladding panels that carry a building's identity for decades — frost-proof, colorfast and dimensionally precise.

Granite is among the few facade materials that genuinely improves with scrutiny: colorfast under UV, unaffected by freeze-thaw cycling when properly specified, and available in finishes from mirror polish to thermal texture.

Facade work is engineering-led. Panel dimensions, anchoring details, thickness and finish are set by the project's structural and weathering requirements, and production must hold tight tolerances across hundreds of pieces.

Kasini can coordinate facade panel packages produced to architectural drawings, with dimensional verification and sequenced crating that matches the installation plan.

Recommended characteristics

  • Low-absorption granites rated for freeze-thaw exposure
  • Consistent color across large production runs
  • Availability in project-scale quantities

Suitable finishes

  • Flamed
  • Honed
  • Polished
  • Bush-hammered by specification

Typical thicknesses

  • 3 cm typical minimum
  • Per structural engineering for anchored systems

Maintenance

  • Periodic facade cleaning; no coatings required

Fabrication notes

  • Anchor slots, kerfs and holes per engineering details
  • Panel-by-panel dimensional inspection
  • Crating sequenced to installation order
