Thanks to its flexibility and lightweight nature, it can be applied over various substrates such as concrete, metal, glass, and plywood, offering a versatile solution for contemporary design projects.
Skineer is crafted from natural quarried stones such as slate, marble, quartzite, limestone, and sandstone. Using a patented process, each stone is peeled into ultra-thin layers, preserving its natural texture and beauty.
These thin stone sheets are then bonded to a fiberglass and unsaturated polyester resin backing under controlled pressure. This innovative process results in a flexible, lightweight, and durable veneer that maintains the authentic look and feel of natural stone while offering enhanced versatility for modern applications.
Lightweight: Unlike full-sized stone, stone veneer is much lighter. This makes it easier to handle, transport, and install, reducing labor costs and the need for specialized equipment.
Cost-Effective: Stone veneer is generally more affordable than using full-sized stone, making it an attractive option for budget-conscious projects.
Variety of Styles: Stone veneer is available in various styles, colors, and textures, allowing for versatile design choices.
Flexibility: Stone veneer can be installed on various surfaces, including wood, concrete, drywall, and metal. This flexibility makes it suitable for a wide range of projects.
Low Maintenance: Stone veneer typically requires minimal maintenance. Regular cleaning and occasional sealing are often sufficient to keep it looking great.
Thickness: Stone veneer sheets are typically thin, ranging from 0.059" to 0.098" in thickness. This makes them much lighter than full-sized stone, facilitating easier handling and installation.
Slate comes in a wide range of colors, including gray, black, green, purple, red, and even blue mix colors. It has a smooth, fine-grained texture and natural finish. Slate is highly durable and resistant to weathering, making it suitable for outdoor use also.
