When only real stone will do

Stone products have long been appreciated by interior designers and architects, not only as building materials but as decorative materials for both exterior and interior use. In combination with other materials, especially other natural materials like wood and metal, stone provides tactile and visually appealing qualities to both traditional and contemporary interiors.

Traditionally, working stone has always been the job of specialists equipped with tools for building, cutting, shaping, or polishing. However, with a real stone product available from Elland-based Decorative Panels Lamination, there’s no longer a need to call in subcontractors if that prestigious interior requires the distinctive look of stone.

Real Stone Veneer is supplied ready laminated to the board of your choice and can be cut, shaped and edged with woodworking tools.

Part of the dp-limitless collection, Real Stone Veneer is a unique product that, as the name suggests, is a real quartzite or slate veneer that’s been laminated to a panel – and it’s perfect for feature boards, corporate foyers, hotel reception desks, etc.

The real stone veneer is “quarried” in India using an unusual technique that involves coating a sheet-size area of stone with a resin while it’s still in situ in the quarry, leaving it for six hours until it sets, then quite literally peeling the resin back from the rock face so a layer of stone around 2mm thick is removed with a resin backing. This innovative product is then laminated onto a substrate with PUR adhesive.

As with all natural products, every sheet is absolutely unique and displays the beautiful stone structures, colours and textures of the material perfectly.

The surface is pre-sealed, so no further surface protection is necessary – and it can be laminated to any kind of panel required, even dp-lite honeycomb panels, to provide an easy-to-use, easy-to-handle product that replaces the need for solid stone.

The dp-limitless Real Stone Veneer collection currently includes seven designs, all available laminated in quantities from as little as one panel.

You can even provide your own material for the substrate if you wish. To find out more, contact Decorative Panels Lamination on 01484 658341 or email info@decorativepanels.co.uk.
