Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Is it real stone? A: Yes, it is 100% natural stone surface. We peel a thin layer from raw slate/quartzite slabs using a specialized German-standard process.
Q: Can it be used in wet areas like showers? A: Absolutely. With proper sealing and waterproof adhesive, our flexible stone is ideal for bathroom walls and shower enclosures.
Q: Does the stone transmit light? A: Our Translucent Series is specifically designed for backlighting. It creates a beautiful, natural light diffusion effect for LED-integrated designs.
Q: Can I install it over existing tiles? A: Yes! Because it is ultra-thin, you can apply it directly over old ceramic tiles, saving you the time and cost of demolition.
