unlock the potential Unlock the potential that only a construction product with such natural beauty, strength, durability and a superb
choice of colours and
finishes as Petrarch, can give you. Petrarch cladding panels offer you all of these, which is why they continue to be the choice
of architects and
specifiers after over 40 years. With Petrarch, beauty is more than skin deep and, just like a material made by nature, it is equipped
to endure the worst that nature can throw at it.
And just like a natural material, it can cleverly
blend with its
surroundings — or provide a stunning contrast — as your design demands.

advantages
Petrarch
®
Petra so naturally beautiful and rugged, yet extremely light and easy to install
Petrarch advantages Architects and specifiers have long been aware of the advantages of man-made cladding products over stone. With Petrarch, we’ve developed and perfected the art of producing the man-made alternative. Petrarch claddings enable you to design-in individuality and style combined with extreme environmental durability, high impact resistance and freedom from maintenance. Petrarch is available in a very wide range of colours and finishes and two different thicknesses, so there’s bound to be one that’s perfect for your application. If not, it is possible that we can create your cladding in a project specific colour and finish, giving you unlimited design possibilities. Petrarch is considerably lighter in weight than natural stone counterparts, driving down construction time and costs. The installed cost of Petrarch is usually a fraction of that of stone, allowing striking finishes to be achieved within realistic construction budgets.

Petra an almost
unlimited range
of colours...a plethora
of creative possibilities
Petrarch colours Think of a colour. With an astounding 1,500 colours in the Petrarch palette, there’s a very good chance that you will find what you’re looking for. Whether used outside or inside, all are designed to enhance the natural environment of a building and complement the landscape – or create a startling statement. And as if 1,500 colours weren’t enough, we can also manufacture Petrarch in a virtually unlimited range of custom hues to meet the most challenging architectural brief and complement your creative thoughts. See ‘colour & texture’ on page 47 for further details.

textures
Petrarch
®
Petra smooth, matt, riven or honed ... beautiful but practical textures with individuality and style
Petrarch textures Because of how it’s formed, quarried and weathered, natural stone comes in different surface finishes and textures. Why should man-made materials be any different? With Petrarch, you get a choice of four different finishes to lend even more individuality and style to any building. Our smooth, matt, riven and honed finishes are equally attractive, as well as being durable against the elements and scratching. When you consider that every finish is available in all of our 1,500 colours, that’s an almost unlimited number of combinations to complement your creativity. See ‘colour & texture’ on page 47 for further details.

colour & texture
Petrarch
®
details A broad spectrum of colours and textures With a comprehensive colour spectrum that combines style and elegance with tradition, Petrarch is an extremely versatile product that invites creative design. Petrarch is available in a traditional riven finish that replicates the surface of slate, a contemporary smooth finish, a textured matt finish and the polished honed finish. Choice of texture adds a tactile dimension to product selection. By designating the surface finish and patternation the colours gain additional character and depth. Petrarch panels are designed to exhibit nuances similar to natural materials and the product will mature naturally with the passing of time. Petrarch panels can also be supplied with a range of factory applied coatings. These coatings can be used to provide exceptional anti graffiti properties or simply seal and enrich the panel surface.
