Backlit Marble
Backlit marble with glass backing
Backlighting involves the application of a light source behind a stone material, taking advantage of the translucency of certain types of stones, particularly onyxes.
This scenic effect enhances rooms, giving designers an additional expressive tool for using natural stones.
The sandwich structure enhances the technical characteristics of the solid material and, through the use of tempered or armored glass, makes possible architectural solutions such as regulation-compliant doors and bathroom accessories.
Material transparency
This new product is a viable alternative to glass backing for backlit materials, especially when size and weight are a limitation. The combination of cylinders and outer skins of transparent polycarbonate creates an ultralight composite panel that allows light to pass through.
Used as a support for even thin materials, when backlit with various lighting systems, it highlights the transparency of natural materials. Even the most delicate and fragile materials can be used and installed in large formats with backlit effect.
The thickness of the substrate ranges from 10 to 20 mm, with a marble layer of 4 to 10 mm above it.
Main applications of marble with transparent honeycomb:
- Nautical: interior furnishings, walls, flooring, suspended ceilings, cladding, private and industrial elevators.
- Architecture: curtain and ventilated facades, wall coverings.
- Furniture: desks and tables, vanity tops, kitchens, and other furnishings.
