Thin stone in lightweight construction

There are many variations available as carrier material. The sandwich panel shown in Figure 1 is suitable for back-ventilated facades, functional ceilings, wall coverings and can be designed in fire protection classes A2 and B1. The carrier material shown in Figures 2 and 3 is also suitable for walls, ceilings and facades. Thanks to its open porosity, it can be filled with gas or liquid and thus offers good damping qualities.

The mirror foil between stone veneer and aluminum honeycomb in Figure 4 primarily offers additional design possibilities and can also be processed in a version with gold leaf.

In principle, our entire range of thin stones is suitable for this type of application. The stone thickness can be freely selected between 0.5 and 3.0 mm according to the requirements. Balsa wood as a carrier material offers extremely high specific stiffness and strength, good fire behavior and excellent fatigue resistance.

Vermiculite is an iron-aluminum-magnesium-silicate and free of cement and gypsum components as well as asbestos or silicate fibers. It meets the fire protection standard A2 (non-combustible) and does not release smoke or toxic gases.

Blown glass recycling granulate can be sound-absorbing or reflective. Optionally, fire protection classes A2 or B1 can be fulfilled.

Balsa plywood is light, strong and resistant to boiling water and, in combination with various surface layers, offers a wide range of applications.

In principle, our entire range of thin stones is suitable for this type of application. The stone thickness can be freely selected between 0.5 and 3.0 mm according to the requirements. Aluminium honeycombs as carrier material allow the production of curved elements. The combination of weight saving and stability amazes again and again. Especially for curved applications, a honeycomb structure made of aluminium is perfectly suited.

In principle, our entire range of thin stones is suitable for this type of application. The stone thickness can be freely selected between 0.5 and 3.0 mm according to the requirements. Paper-based honeycombs are unique as a carrier material when every gram counts in weight saving. Our partner uses this combination of stone and this paper-based carrier material mainly as floors in private jets. Just think of the requirements that have to be met! It couldn't be easier in combination with stone and at the same time extremely high stability!

In principle, our entire range of thin stones is suitable for this type of application. The stone thickness can be freely selected between 0.5 and 3.0 mm according to the requirements. GRP laminations as carrier material belong to the standard solutions and are possible up to the maximum stone format of 3100 x 1600mm.

One of our last projects with this application in combination with thin stone+glass elements were lift cabins for the headquarters of a large Swiss bank. More about this hopefully soon on our project page.
