Slabs of marble granite and stone laminated stratified on GLASS

Thin slab of stone material laminated with glass sheets by FFPROCESS®.
Some marbles, granites or stones, gauged in thin thicknesses, gain transparence, outstanding colors and natural drawings. Rare and precious onyxes can be used too, even if they have natural cracks. The decorative thin layer of stone laminated to the glass, combines the beauty of the first to the excellent mechanical characteristics of the last, all in one single product, the STONE-GLASS.

Usable types of stone
It is possible to use any stone, once being checked in advance for the level of transparency, after gauging to thin thickness.

Usable types of glass
It is possible to use one or more glasses, in various thicknesses. Normal float or extra-clear glasses, stratified glasses, tempered glasses etc.

Dimension
The STONE-GLASS panels sizes are 2800 x 1500 mm maximum.

Thicknesses
Stones materials: from 2mm to 6mm.
Glass: from 4mm to 10mm, multi-strata or not ( other thicknesses on request ).

Cuting
The STONE-GLASS panels can be cut by:

Traditional machinery using normal tools of glass industry;
Water jet cut machine.
The STONE-GLASS panels adopting tempered glass are produced in fixed sizes only, because they cannot be cut after lamination.

Types of application
Interiors: shelves, work plans, internal walls, enlightened walls, floating floors, enlightened false ceiling, desk tops, tables, door claddings, vanity tops, etc. The STONE-GLASS panels may be used also outdoor, in properly framed metalwork.

Laboratory testing set up on request, for any specific final application (type of stones and final application);
normally to guarantee the mechanical characteristics of STONE-GLASS panels:

Flexural strength under concentrated load, before and after ageing cycles.

Rupture energy, before and after ageing cycles.
