StonePly Cladding Enhances Delnor Hospital Expansion
September 17, 2025
The North Expansion of Delnor Hospital required a cladding solution that could meet strict budget requirements, accommodate ongoing hospital operations, and allow for future renovations without disruption. Traditional stone cladding posed challenges in terms of weight, cost, and installation, making it unsuitable for this project.
The Challenge
Delnor Hospital faced three primary concerns during its expansion:
- Budget constraints: A cost-effective alternative to solid stone was essential.
- Operational continuity: Construction work needed to progress while the hospital remained in use.
- Flexibility for growth: Any solution had to allow for seamless future expansions.
The StonePly Solution
StonePly exterior cladding was selected to address these challenges. The lightweight stone panels, reinforced with aluminum honeycomb, provided a balance of durability, design flexibility, and ease of installation.
- Affordable: StonePly panels reduce construction costs by eliminating the need for traditional stone masonry.
- Efficient installation: Lightweight construction allows panels to be installed quickly with minimal disruption to hospital operations.
- Expandable: The system’s modular design supports future building additions and renovations with minimal impact.
Why StonePly?
Compared with traditional stone cladding, StonePly offers multiple advantages in performance and practicality:
- Durability: Panels withstand extreme conditions, from fire to seismic loads, while maintaining structural integrity.
- Lightweight construction: Weighing just a fraction of solid stone, panels reduce the dead load on the building.
- Safety: In the event of breakage, stone remains adhered to the aluminum backing, limiting hazards.
- Design flexibility: Available in hundreds of natural stone options with multiple finishes.
Proven in Healthcare and Beyond
Delnor Hospital joins a wide range of organizations that have benefited from StonePly’s cladding systems, including commercial storefronts, government facilities, and hospitality projects. The combination of natural stone beauty and modern engineering has positioned StonePly as a trusted partner for complex architectural challenges.
