StoneSheets® is built using sandwich type construction, which has been a well established method of construction in the composites industry. The honeycomb core acts much like tresses or I-Beams, by distributing stress over a larger area. As a result, StoneSheets® demonstrates superior behaviors under bending, torsion, impact and compression, both parallel and perpendicular to the sheets, with the premise being to increase strength and decrease weight. StoneSheets® combines these benefits with stone, effectively improving the use of slabs all together.
StoneSheets®-F begins with your choice of Granite, Marble, Onyx, Travertine, Sandstone, or Quartzite, sliced super-thin and bonded to an Aluminum Honeycomb Matrix with Fiber Reinforced Epoxy Sheets. For most stones, StoneSheets®-F comes in sizes up to 48" x 96" (122 cm x 244 cm), with a standard thickness of 18mm, and weighing in at ~160 Pounds! (These specifications can be customized for special applications when necessary.)
StoneSheets® is ordered custom cut to specific designs or from plans, or for distributors, StoneSheets®easily trims and field adjusts when necessary.
- 6mm thick stone Slab + 12mm Aluminum Honeycomb Matrix w/Fiberglass Sheets - For a 4ft x 8ft thin stone panel of StoneSheets® -F, the total weight is only ~160 pounds! - Consistent, Superior strength from edge to edge allows for easy dispersion, installation, or field trimming when necessary. - Ability to combine products, as in the case of countertop use, eliminating the need for plywood subtops, instead using a long-life, recyclable material, Aluminum - Available in nearly every Granite, Marble, Onyx, Travertine, Limestone, Sandstone, or Quartzite, in any available finish - Projects demand only ~35% of the shipping requirements of standard 2cm granite, reducing GHG & CO2 Emissions and increasing project safety |
