Stone veneer, Himalay White, 122x244 cm

What is stone veneer and why is it so special?

A stone veneer is a thin sheet of natural stone (1-3 mm) created by a precise technology that allows the authentic layer of solid stones such as slate, marble or sandstone to be cut away. This layer is then firmly bonded to a resin and fibreglass backing to create a lightweight, flexible material that retains all the unique aesthetic qualities of natural stone - from texture to colour.

What are the benefits?

• Authentic beauty of nature:
  Each piece of stone veneer is an original. The natural patterns, colours and textures are unique, giving each surface a unique look. No more compromising between beauty and practicality.
• Lightness and flexibility:
  Forget heavy and bulky stones. Stone veneer is lightweight and flexible, which means you can apply it to curved surfaces, columns or design elements.
• Easy installation for everyone:
  Forget complicated tools and experts. You can cut the stone veneer with ordinary scissors or with a knife. With a little glue, you can easily turn any surface into a stylish design piece.
• Resilience you can rely on:
  Stone veneer is ideal for indoor and outdoor use. It resists temperature fluctuations, humidity and UV radiation (depending on the type). The perfect choice for bathrooms, kitchens, facades and fireplaces.
• Wide use without limitations:
  Whether you want to breathe new life into your furniture, spice up your living room walls, renovate your bathroom or create a stunning facade, stone veneer is for you. Its possibilities are limited only by your imagination.
• An affordable alternative:
  Get the luxurious look of solid stone at a fraction of the price. Stone veneer is a cost-effective solution without sacrificing quality or aesthetics.

How to glue stone veneer

1. Acclimatization of the tile: Before installation, place the cladding in the room where it will be installed for 24 hours to acclimatise. Temperatures between 15 and 25 °C are recommended for outdoor bonding.
2. Preparation of the substrate: Clean the substrate thoroughly - it must not be greasy, wet or dirty.
3. Dimensional adjustment: use a diamond blade circular saw or an oscillating saw for adjustments. Wear protective equipment, especially goggles. If necessary, adjust the edges with a file or sandpaper in the direction of the cut.
4. Impregnation: after gluing, we recommend impregnating the tile (especially in the exterior or in places with increased humidity), which will prolong its life and prevent the formation of mould or other undesirable phenomena.
