Flexible Translucent Stone Veneer Sheets

Flexible Translucent Stone Veneer Sheets is a natural stone slab material that has very little thickness, is lightweight, and transmits light. The sheets have only a thickness of 1.5-2.5mm and a weight of 1.5 kg/m2, resulting in substantially less weight burden compared to traditional stones. The natural stone slabs are backed by a polyester resin and glass-fiber composite material, which provides the flexibility and durability of the material, while also showing good UV resistance, as well as high temperature resistance, up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. This material is good for a variety of applications inside buildings for decorative elements, but is also used extensively in exterior conditions, such as hotel exteriors, exterior facade cladding in commercial spaces, art installations, etc.

The core advantages are:

Natural texture and gloss: every slab shows the natural texture and color of stone, and offers you a unique natural beauty.
Transparency and light and shadow effect: when the slab is lighted from the back, it will present a soft layered light and shadow effect, making it especially applicable in scenes such as LED light boxes, display cabinets, and art walls.
Installation: the material's light weight and flexibility allow for any practically curved structure to be created or fit to, and the installation is simple and time efficient, which makes it suitable for both DIYers and professionals.
Environmental Protection: the sheets are made from stone and the backing of the sheets are environmentally friendly materials that comply with green and sustainable practices and standards, and will reduce waste in terms of both resources and carbon emissions.

1. Material and Composition

Flexible Translucent Stone Veneer Sheets are composed of natural stone on the face, bonded with polyester resin and fibreglass face into a composite material that is both strong and flexible. This composition retains the natural texture and colour of the stone while providing excellent resistance to flexing and the elements.

Thickness: Typically 1.5-2.5 mm, with some products approaching 2 mm, making it appropriate for many applications
Weight: Approx. 1.5 kg per square meter, significantly less than traditional stone, making it simple to transport and install
Surface treatment: The front surface has a natural stone texture (not polished) that retains the original texture of the stone, while the fibreglass back layer reinforces the stone to prevent cracking and make it pressure resistant.

2. Translucent properties

The key feature of this product is translucency. Through the use of backlight and/or natural light, the small pores/particles within the stone will create a unique light and shadow effect, giving a soft, dreamlike feel to the space. This make it good for any type of modern design style – modern minimalist, new Chinese, Nordic style

Backlight effect: It is prudent to use LED light strips or cold light sources when backlighting to produce complex visual layering.
Use of natural light: During daytime, the surface texture allows sunlight in to create natural light and shadow changes that emphasises the stone's transparency and translucency in space.
3. Flexibility and pliability
