Stoneflex is a glass fiber reinforced polyester resin architectural wall panel built up to provide a surface finish of natural stone aggregate.
The Stoneflex panel is manufactured by a continuous process whereby a substrate of glass fiber and granulated stone is successively built up, resin impregnated and consolidated. Natural stone aggregate is resin bonded to the outer surface and the panel is then oven cured.
PERFORMANCE AND DURABILITY
Stoneflex panels are lightweight yet strong with high impact resistance and are suitable for both interior and exterior applications. The panels are maintenance free, unaffected by climatic extremes, impervious to moisture, chemical resistant and will not delaminate under any conditions. They are inorganic, rot proof, immune to attack by insects and vermin, and will not nourish mold growth.
Panels can be installed year round and are compatible with all common building materials.
No significant change in properties occurred following accelerated weathering testing giving the equivalent to seven years exposure. Stoneflex technology has been used successfully on external applications for over 45 years.

DIMENSIONS AND WEIGHTS
The standard panel width is 48” (large aggregate 47 3/4”) with length variable up to 13’. Widths less than 48” can be supplied and cut as the panels are being manufactured at no additional charge if repetitive quantities are sufficient to reset the edge saws. Varying widths can be cut offline for an additional charge. In all cases, a full 48" width by the actual length will be the billable size. All panel schedules should be submitted prior to ordering to include any possible extra cutting charges.
** Please request and view actual panel samples for aggregate size and color before final selection. CEP Panels, Inc. reserves the right to change color offerings and aggregate options without notice.**
Any length can be cut online to meet specific requirements, to a minimum of 60” (or 5’), if repetitive quantities are sufficient. If panels less than 60” in length are required, these can be cut offline for an additional charge.
