Stone veneer application
The use of stone veneer is not limited to one specific surface. Its possibilities are very diverse, which confirms its universality. Stone veneer can be used for doors (both internal, external and sliding), facades, gates or gazebos. It creates decorations in aquariums, furniture fronts, bathroom furniture and fireplaces. We can also decorate wall panels, TV furniture, reception desks or shop counters with it. These are the most common ideas and the applications can be very diverse. It all depends on your creativity.
Stone veneer - advantages
Wallpaper prepared in this way, like a decorative stone, is many times lighter than its counterpart - stone tiles. This allows it to be placed wherever the weight of traditional stone slabs would be difficult or impossible. Additionally, stone veneer sheets are flexible and easy to model.
With all the simplicity of application, stone veneer retains all the typical features of natural stone. Its structure is irregular, and each sheet is unique and delightful.
Stone veneer price
The price of stone veneer is very decent. A square meter usually costs around PLN 100 to PLN 180, depending on the selected model. However, slate tiles are more expensive and, what is important, we cannot install them ourselves. To install slate stone tiles, you need a professional team that can professionally carry out the installation. There is definitely more work to do during assembly, and the mess is quite large. However, we can install stone veneer ourselves, and we save money by not having to pay anyone for installation. Sticking veneer is simple and easy to do. Work is carried out in clean conditions at a fast pace.
Stone veneer has properties that allow you to avoid all the difficulties associated with processing natural stones. First of all, this material is plastic and is relatively light in weight. This makes it possible to use it in places where using a massive board is not only difficult, but sometimes even impossible. Stone veneer creates unlimited perspectives when it comes to interior design and creating furniture designs.
How stone veneer cladding is made
The method of producing stone veneer involves using the layered structure of stone slates, which are rocks with a very diverse structure. First, blocks of local stone are extracted from quarries in India, and then they are prepared for processing by smoothing and intensively heating their surface.
As a result of high temperature, the rock is delaminated. After the rock block has cooled down, a mesh and fiberglass are glued to its surface and allowed to dry. Then the sheet of mesh is torn off along with the thin coating of slate. Further steps include stiffening the lower layer of the block with a polyester-based synthetic resin. The result is a sheet that is a composition of a layer of natural stone up to 2mm thick and glass fiber bonded with resin up to 1mm thick.
The standard size of a stone veneer sheet is 122cm x 61cm, although veneers of 244cm x 122cm are also available. The sheet thickness is a maximum of 3 mm, although it is not the same over its entire surface. The colors of the sheets are very diverse (there are several dozen colors) and depends on the specific type of slate tile. Due to its resistance to ultraviolet radiation, the color of the stone does not change. The natural origin of the stone veneer makes each veneer unique and it is impossible to find two identical pieces product.
What are the benefits and advantages of stone veneer?
The main advantage of stone veneer is its negligible weight. 1 m² of material weighs approximately 1.5 kg, while the weight of another stone tile is much greater. Its low weight allows it to be installed where it is not possible to install a stone slab.
Another advantage is the flexibility of the material. The stone coating does not crumble when bent. The unique manufacturing technology makes stone veneer perfect for places where mounting typical boards is impossible, non-functional or too expensive.
Another advantage of veneer is its simple installation(stone veneer installation). This is influenced not only by the lightness (light) and flexibility of the material (flexible), but also by the ease of cutting and sticking it, which can be performed by a person without special preparation in the stonemasonry industry. This allows you to save both money and time related to installation.
In addition, stone veneer is water resistant, and its coating provides a tight barrier against moisture. This is determined by the specific composition of the veneer, which consists of: natural stone (2%), fiberglass (98%) and epoxy resin with fiberglass.
As mentioned above, the color of the sheet surface does not change under the influence of ultraviolet rays, and the multitude of available shades allows you to choose a product that matches for any type of interioror facade. When it comes to safety of use, this material meets European Union standards and has the appropriate certificate of the National Institute of Hygiene.
There are also economic reasons for choosing stone veneer. The material is easy to transport and easy to install because it is light and flexible. The assembly itself does not take much time. Therefore, this type of investment does not absorb large costs.
The natural charm of natural veneer, its originality and versatile purpose create wide opportunities for its use by designers, architects and contractors for interior design and finishing of building facades , or furniture production. It seems that the only limitation in this respect can only be human imagination.
Stone veneer is a real revolution among finishing materialsmade of natural stone. It is extremely light and flexible - a 122x61 cm sheet weighs less than 1.5 kg and thin - about 2 mm thick. With these parameters, it is still a natural stone because each sheet is made of slate.
By the way, this product is fully ecological. The material used for its production is of natural origin. The low weight and dimensions of the product translate into much lower transport, storage and distribution costs than in the case of ordinary slate or granite tiles. All these elements mean that much less harmful CO2 will be emitted into the atmosphere
