Overview

Stone Lamina is committed to producing the finest quality stone panels available. As one of the world leaders in natural stone composite honeycomb panels, Stone Lamina observes rigorous quality control procedures and testing. Architects, designers, specifiers and endusers receive the peace of mind that comes from knowing that Stone Lamina has been subjected to testing well beyond the minimum codes. Testing is performed at both independent national laboratories and universities, as well as Stone Lamina Ltd’s own research and manufacturing facilities in Toronto, Canada. 


 Large Missile Impact Test

Stone Lamina, unlike solid stone, stands up exceptionally well to the ASTM large missile impact test. With an impact resistance of up to 60 times greater than 1.5” dimensional granite, it holds up to flying debris and can protect a building cladded in an envelop of Stone Lamina Composite Panels. You can see below that a 2” × 4”x 8’ wood stud literally bounces off of the Stone Lamina panel without shattering the panel during the large missile impact test.

Unique Performance Characteristics

Stone Lamina Composite Panels with Honeycomb Technology perform exceptionally well in a number of areas. The large missile impact test is just such an example.


The Stone Lamina Solution To High Wind

Stone Lamina derives its strength from its aluminum honeycomb core bonded to the stone veneer with high performance aviation epoxy. Both of these components are used on aircraft fuselage whose surfaces experience wind speeds of thousands of miles per hour. Please note the example below, in terms of epoxy bond strength, compared to a variety of wind forces.


Protecting Buildings and People

What are the implications of the exceptional performance of Stone Lamina panels in the large missile impact test? Buildings encapsulated in an envelop of flexible and ductile Stone Lamina Composite Honeycomb Panels, are thoroughly protected from multiple hazards. The superior all-aluminum honeycomb panel core can catch flying debris resulting from hurricane force winds. And with a blast-resistant curtain wall and glazing, Stone Lamina’s blast-resistant stone cladding can mitigate the danger to life and property from blast events. Stone Lamina panels survive blast events amazingly well and form an important component in an overall system of protection for any building or structure.

When designing for a single hazard such as a blast event, it is important to consider how the material selected for blast-resistance may conflict with protection from other hazards. It is good to know that Stone Lamina performs very well against all five of what the American FEMA Agency considers as “extreme hazards”. 


Fire Safety

Stone Lamina Composite Panels are inherently flame resistant. Stone Lamina is composed of non-combustable materials that have passed the CAN/ULC S114 test. Stone Lamina panels have a CAN/ULC S102 flame spread index of 0 and a smoke contribution of 40. The “smoke contribution” is primarily water vapour and can vary by stone type. This gives Stone Lamina a Class A rating under the NFPA standard or Class 1 rating under the UBC standard.
