AKSENT 3D™
Smooth Stackstone Panels

Precision-cut natural stone cladding panels with a world-class interlocking corner system. No grout, no mitre cuts, no specialist tools.

The refined edge of natural stone cladding

AKSENT 3D™ is Norstone’s smooth-faced natural stone panel system. Precision-cut Basalt, Lavastone, Marble and Quartz in a 152 × 610mm interlocking format that eliminates vertical seams and delivers a consistently sharp finish across any wall surface.

Unlike rough or rustic stone cladding, AKSENT 3D™ has a smooth honed face with subtle natural colour variation. The result is sophisticated enough for hospitality and high-end residential interiors, yet durable enough for exterior facades and pool surrounds.

Available in seven leading-edge colours. Sophisticated, elegant and incredibly hard wearing. AKSENT 3D embodies the depth of colour, natural character, and subtle inherent sheen that designers and architects expect from premium natural stone. Every panel is supplied with a world-class two-part finger-jointed corner unit, pre-engineered to interlock cleanly at 90° with no mitre cuts.

AKSENT 3D™ Specifications

Precision-cut stone panels with engineered corner integration

AKSENT 3D™ panels are precision-calibrated to maintain consistent thickness, enabling tight groutless installation with minimal site prep. The interlocking stepped end profile eliminates visible vertical joints without requiring any special tooling. The calibrated stepped ends combine with our modular stone panel system to ensure rapid coverage of large wall areas with consistent precision.

The two-part finger-jointed corner system is one of the most advanced corner solutions in natural stone cladding. Corners interlock cleanly at 90° with no mitre saw work required on site, dramatically reducing installation time and waste.

Suitable for interior and exterior applications

AKSENT 3D™ performs in both indoor and outdoor settings. Pool surrounds and wet areas require appropriate waterproofing of the substrate and sealing of the stone surface prior to installation.

For project planning, standard stock lead time is approximately 8–12 weeks from order confirmation, subject to colour and quantity.

AKSENT 3D Platinum Lavastone two-part finger-jointed corner pair — studio detail

World-class corners. No mitre cuts.

Each AKSENT 3D™ corner set is hand-crafted as an exclusive matching pair, fabricated in an offset finger-jointed pattern so every corner is genuinely one of a kind. Left and right pieces interlock cleanly at 90° without any site cutting. They simply slot into position alongside the field panels.

The system eliminates the precision mitre cutting that standard stone cladding corners require, cutting on-site labour costs and material waste while delivering a premium architectural finish on every project.

Where AKSENT 3D™ makes the biggest impact

AKSENT 3D™’s smooth honed face and interlocking panel format suit a broad range of interior and exterior applications, from intimate feature walls to expansive commercial facades.

The consistent 152mm panel height creates clean horizontal lines, while the stepped interlocking edge profile eliminates vertical joints that interrupt the stone’s natural appearance.

AKSENT 3D™ performs equally well in residential settings and commercial applications such as retail shop fit-outs, hotels, bars, restaurants, and offices. It also suits protected outdoor spaces including pool surrounds, water features, fireplaces, columns, entry ways, porticos, and BBQ entertaining areas.

  • Interior and exterior feature walls
  • Fireplaces and media walls
  • Commercial facades and lobbies
  • Pool surrounds and water features (with appropriate sealing)
  • Bathroom feature walls and walk-in showers
  • Commercial fit-outs: hotels, bars, restaurants, retail, offices
  • BBQ and outdoor entertaining areas
  • Columns, porticos, and entry statements

Genuine stone, engineered for architectural precision

AKSENT 3D™ basalt is a volcanic rock formed from the rapid cooling of basaltic lava, denser than granite or marble and prized for its consistent fine grain. The basalt strips that make up each panel are honed to a smooth surface, leaving a silky, matte finish with the depth of genuine natural stone.

Across the range, marble brings warmth and natural veining, lavastone delivers tonal depth and movement, and quartz adds crystalline brightness. Every colour is calibrated to the same precise panel format so colours can be mixed within a project without compromising the install.

The smooth honed face is sophisticated enough for hospitality and high-end residential interiors, yet hard wearing enough for exterior facades, pool surrounds, and commercial applications. The result is the depth and character of natural stone with the consistency and workability designers and architects expect from a premium engineered system.
