Once again architects are recognizing Neolith ultra compact surfacing for the unique contributions the material is making in the cladding industry.

Citing Neolith’s durability and varied color palette as the main reasons for choosing the material, E-Square Architects used Neolith to clad the Salata 14 commercial building they designed in Qatar. They used three distinctive colors: Nieve and Nero from the Neolith Colorfeel Collection and Red Qatar—a color specifically made for the project. The varied use of color helps to accentuate the interesting shapes and angles of the building.

The article mentions that the architects chose Neolith because it will withstand the heat, winds, and sand prevalent in that area. Each compact slab is designed to be unaffected by extreme high or low temperatures, moisture, harsh chemicals, fire, abrasion, and even ultraviolet rays, making it one of the most efficient solutions for even the most demanding architectural projects.

Another interesting façade sporting Neolith is the Maxtyle fashion mall in Seoul, South Korea’s Dongdaemun District. Made mostly of solid Neolith, the gray Barro finish makes a beautifully contrasting backdrop to the dramatic evening lighting. In fact, portions of the material appear to “peel away,” revealing colored lights from within.

Though it’s a fantastic outdoor cladding material, Neolith is also ideal for countertops, vanities, flooring, veneers, and more. Learn more about this revolutionary material at Marble & Granite, Inc.
