WHY LITESTONE® PANELS?
Stone has been used as a building material since the ancient Egyptians built the Pyramids and Romans built their Empire, so why LITESTONE® Panels instead of traditional methods?
 
Advantages of LITESTONE® Panels with aluminum honeycomb backing compared to solid stone:
  • Beauty of natural stone
  • Variety of finishes
  • Reduced installation cost
  • Reduced installation time
  • Easy handling
  • Easy shaping enables modern designs
  • High impact resistance
  • Fire resistance
  • Increasingly stringent sound and thermal insulation requirements

 
LITESTONE® Panels are significant factors in today’s competitive building environment. Its light weight ensures an easy and safe way of installation, and it is only recently that stone is able to be used to decorate ceilings of boats and airplanes.

The stone veneer (2 - 3.5mm thick) can be almost any stone including granite, marble, limestone, slate, sandstone in a variety of finishes from polished to texture.
