Petrarch architectural panels combine the aesthetic appeal of slate or natural stone with the design flexibility afforded by a lightweight large panel format. The panels are completely homogeneous, highly consolidated, with through color and will not delaminate or decay under any conditions. They have a hard, impact resistant surface with low moisture absorption producing a low maintenance finish suitable for both interior and exterior use.
Petrarch panels have an indefinite life and are highly resistant to the effects of natural exposure, climatic extremes, and atmospheric pollution. This has been confirmed by accelerated tests in a weatherometer, and natural exposure on buildings for over 30 years. In all instances, the properties of Petrarch panels are substantially unchanged.
