July 03 , 2024

The recent ASEAN Summit, held grandly in Malaysia marked a historic first with the ASEAN–China–GCC Trilateral Summit, highlighting a new era of cross-regional collaboration. As global attention turned to the host city, Kuala Lumpur showcased its modern face and urban vitality on the world stage.

Serving as a visible gateway to the summit, the city’s light rail hubs, commercial towers, and residential clusters unveiled a new technological skin—21 Parkhouse® Flexible Stone. This innovative material is playing a vital role in upgrading public spaces and revealing Malaysia’s vision of intelligent, sustainable urban development.

The New Code of Urban Renewal

A breakthrough beyond traditional materials

Flexible Stone represents a revolutionary advancement in modern building materials. Made from natural stone powder and other renewable inorganic components, it is formed through a patented process of active particle compaction. Compared to traditional stone or tiles, it offers four core advantages:

 

  1. Lightweight & Flexible:
    Weighing only 3–6kg/m², the material is bendable and perfect for curved or dynamic surfaces.
  2. Formaldehyde-Free & Odorless:
    Certified by top global standards including GreenGuard (USA), Green Label (Singapore), and Bureau Veritas (France Zero Carbon).
  3. Fast Installation:
    Can be directly wet-installed on base surfaces—no need for dry hanging or heat bending.
  4. Fireproof & Durable:
    Class A fire-resistance, water- and moisture-resistant, corrosion-resistant, with a lifespan of 30–50 years.
