Our Two Translucent Product Lines:

Our standard TRANSLUCENT stone veneers offer the proven flexibility of Slate-Lite and are perfect for all creative applications.
For large-scale installations, an additional acrylic backing is typically used between the light source and the stone panel.

Our STONEBOARDS are the simple solution for larger surfaces:
Thanks to their increased material thickness, the stone panel can be installed directly in front of the light source without the need for additional backing material!

Translucent

Translucent

Translucent stone veneers (1/16" / 1–2 mm) for stunning light effects.

Stoneboards

Stoneboards

Translucent Stone Veneers: Light Comparision

Become a Light Designer!

Thanks to the transparent backing, all stone veneers from our Translucent product line can be illuminated from behind using a light source.
This backlighting allows you to create stunning highlights – whether in private spaces or commercial settings like shops, counters, restaurants, or bars.

Even DIY enthusiasts can become light designers themselves: The thin stone material makes it easy to create stylish and unique illuminated pieces!

We offer twodifferent product lines that create worlds of light in stone: Translucent and our Stoneboards.

Translucent is the classic translucent product line with a transparent fiberglass back, a bendable radius of approx. 10 cm and a total thickness of approx. 1.5 mm.
For better stability and light distribution, Translucent can be bonded to glass or acrylic. Depending on the span width, we recommend an acrylic glass thickness of 4 mm for standard formats 122x61cm and 8 mm for large formats 240x120cm.
When using fluorescent tubes and LED strips, acrylic sheets with a frosted glass coloration have proven to be particularly effective, as they distribute the light effectively. Please also ensure a minimum distance of approx. 6 cm between the stone slab and the light source.

Stoneboards are an extra stable and thicker version of the Translucent line with a fiberglass backing.
The greater overall thickness means that there is no need for an additional acrylic sheet as a support, and the large format of 240 x 120 cm can also be installed by a single person.

The translucent Translucent stone veneers are processed with our special transparent adhesive Translucent Crystal Clear.
The adhesive is simply applied to the mounting surface or the back of the stone sheet using a smooth spatula.

In principle, any light source behind the stone sheet is possible.

The simplest method for uniform illumination is an LED panel with high light output. However, you can also use fluorescent tubes, light bulbs or LED strips. In this case, a frosted glass pane between the light source and the Translucent decor helps to distribute the light better. A sufficient distance between the light source and Translucent (approx. 6 cm) also ensures optimum light diffusion.

Depending on whether you use warm, cold or colorful RGB light, you can create different lighting moods.

Cutting our thin stone veneers to size is extremely easy, and almost any standard DIY tool is suitable for this: You can cut Slate-Lite to the required size with millimeter precision using a hand or table saw, jigsaw or multitool.
Simply cut the stone sheet from the back using a wooden or plastic saw blade with medium teeth. If necessary, then lightly sand the cut edge with sandpaper.

Depending on the installation location, you can use Slate-Lite without additional surface protection, for example in indoor are
as with low levels of stress.
For applications in areas with high loads, such as the kitchen or in the shower and bathroom, we recommend using an additional impregnation or sealant.
This is usually applied to the stone surface with a foam roller in a criss-cross pattern; this can be done before or after installation.

For detailed instructions on the protective products, please refer to the respective data sheets and recommendations in our theme worlds. In the following video we show you an example of the simple application of our strongest sealer Slate-Lite Extreme Protection.

Slate-Lite can be cleaned with all commercially available, non-corrosive household cleaners.
In most cases, clear water and a lint-free cloth or brush will suffice.

In outdoor areas, cleaning with a high-pressure cleaner is also possible, but please observe the distance recommended by the appliance manufacturer when using it.
