Sheet stone is a flexible natural stone cladding for interior or exterior walls. This type of flexible natural stone cladding is made from slate or mica and is available in a variety of colors and textures.

It is a new and ingenious product that is revolutionizing the creation of natural stone surfaces.

Starting from solid blocks of natural stone, thin sheets of stone 2 mm thick are cut out using a very innovative technique. Reinforced by a fiberglass-based composite backing, these natural stone sheets are strong, light and easy to work with.

The stone sheet consists of the first layer of stone (slate, quartzite or mica) with a thickness of 0.3 to 0.8 mm, followed by support of fiberglass and resin. There are many colors, textures, and dimensions.
