Aerostone

Natural stone. Lighter. Stronger. Safer.

Un panel de AEROSTONE gira y se despieza: piedra natural por la cara, piel estructural y núcleo en panal detrás.

Lighter.

One person lifts a large-format panel. The same format in solid stone needs lifting equipment and two operatives.

23 kg/m²the assembly, against the 82 of 30 mm solid stone
up to 70% lessweight on the structure of the building

Stronger.

What decides the life of a panel is not the stone: it is the bond. It is tested by ageing it on purpose, and then measured again.

1.6 MPabond after thermal shock ageing · EN 14066
1.7 MPaafter salt crystallisation: the same value as before the test · EN 12370
Resistantto frost · UNE EN 12371
2.1%water absorption · UNE EN 13755

Safer.

Fire · Reaction B-s1, d0 to EN 13501: it does not contribute to the fire, it gives off hardly any smoke and it does not drip.

Wind · Ready for high loads. On a ventilated façade suction governs over weight, and it is calculated project by project.

Five thicknesses, four panels.

Stone where there was no stone.

Weight is what decided how far natural stone could go. With 23 kg/m² instead of 82, that boundary moves — and where the fixing has to have margin to spare, what weighs least demands least.

A closer look.

Figures from the AEROSTONE technical datasheet, with their UNE and EN standards. Each thickness has its own performance, and it changes with the stone and the core. Made to measure.
