H1 Heading: Rockmount Sierra White 9 x 24 XL Ledger Panel
Product Overview
Redefine your space with the architectural grandeur of Rockmount Sierra White. This premium ledger panel is crafted from high-quality natural quartzite, featuring a radiant palette of cool whites, soft greys, and subtle silver mica highlights. The "XL" designation refers to its substantial 9" x 24" format, offering a bolder, more modern aesthetic than traditional smaller panels.
The XL Advantage
The oversized 9x24 format is a favorite for large-scale projects. By covering 1.5 square feet per panel, this system significantly speeds up installation and creates a cleaner look with fewer visible seams. Whether you are cladding a sprawling home facade or a floor-to-ceiling fireplace, the XL format provides a high-end, continuous stone appearance.
Rugged Split-Face Texture
Each panel features a split-face finish, showcasing the natural, rugged texture of the quartzite. This creates a dynamic play of light and shadow, highlighting the stone’s crystalline structure and sparkling mica inclusions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why is "XL" better than standard ledger panels?
XL panels (9"x24") are larger than the standard 6"x24" panels. This means you have 33% fewer horizontal joints, resulting in a much more modern, "massive stone" look. It also makes the installation process significantly faster for large wall areas.
What kind of adhesive should I use for Sierra White?
You must use a high-quality, polymer-modified white thin-set mortar. It is critical to avoid grey mortar, as it can "shadow" through the light-colored quartzite and permanently dull the stone's bright white appearance.
Can I install these panels over drywall?
No. Due to the weight of natural quartzite (8–10 lbs per sq. ft.), these panels must be installed on a load-bearing masonry surface or a properly secured cement backer board. Drywall is not strong enough to support the weight of ledger stone.
Does this stone require a lot of maintenance?
Very little. For interior use, an occasional dusting is all that is needed. For exterior use, a simple rinse with a garden hose will remove debris. We recommend applying a penetrating, non-film-forming sealer to protect against organic stains without changing the stone's natural color.
Are there matching pieces for corners and edges?
Yes! We offer matching 9" XL corner pieces that feature an interlocking L-shape. Using these finishing pieces ensures that your pillars and wall edges have a professional, seamless look without exposed raw edges.
