The Tower of Babel was a structure built in the land of Shinar (Babylonia) some time after the Flood. The story of its construction appears to be an attempt to explain the existence of diverse human languages.
The Babylonians wanted to make a name for themselves by building a mighty city and a tower “with its top in the heavens”.
God disrupted the work by confusing the language of the workers so they could no longer understand one another. The city was never completed.
But the dream lasted and still appeals to our imagination.

Imagine stone as light as wood
Easy handling, efficient placing
Thanks to their light weight – the 8 mm thick panels weigh just 8.4 kg/m² – Rockpanel Stones façade panels are very easy to handle and particularly suitable for use on high-rise buildings.
Easy processing ensures short assembly times, making them a cost-effective solution. The boards are easy to cut to size on-site using traditional cutting tools and the edges do not need to be sealed. The panels can be mounted on a simple substructure of wood or aluminium. They can be fixed using corrosion-protected screws, nails or blind rivets. Alternatively, a special adhesive can be used.- - -

No special equipment is required
Looking for a façade cladding solution that any installer or contractor can work with? Installation of Rockpanel façade boards, including our Stones range, is as easy as can be. No special equipment is required; your standard tools will do. Anything that’s suitable for wood can also be used for our panels.
Going for unusual recesses or other striking features? Virtually everything is possible. Detailing can be carried out with precision on-site. There is no need for time-consuming preparations. Easy does it!

Imagine long-lasting creations
Rockpanel façade boards are built to last
Your striking façade design deserves nothing less than the absolute best. With Rockpanel Stones, buildings are ready for the decades to come. For us, durability is not just limited to technical quality, but also involves aesthetics. The unique properties of Rockpanel façade boards ensure the best possible quality for the years ahead.
Weather conditions such as rain, wind and sunshine can have a major influence on some buildings. Fortunately, Rockpanel façade boards are prepared for everything! The panels are insensitive to moisture and are UV-resistant. This prevents both thermal expansion and fading colours. Adding a ProtectPlus finish creates a self-cleaning surface where dirt has no grip.
Our boards are therefore ready to shine – now and in the future.

A firesafe solution
Safety comes first. When it comes to protecting people’s lives, you can never be too sure. Rockpanel façade cladding is very fire-resilient, as it’s made of stone wool fibres from the natural volcanic rock basalt. This material can withstand extremely high temperatures by nature, without the need for fire-retardant additives. The calorific value of these stone wool panels is very low, meaning that they do not contribute to a fire.
All of our boards are naturally fire-resilient. For high-rise and high-risk applications, Rockpanel recommends the use of non-combustible (Euroclass A1-A2) cladding and insulation. Our A2 boards (FS-Xtra) fulfil the requirements of Euroclass A2-s1, d0. As a result, they comply with the most stringent fire protection requirements for the façades of residential and commercial buildings.
