Lightweight Marble with glass and methacrylate
Architonic ID: 20748037
Composite panels can be produced with normal or tempered glass backing. They are ideal for creating backlit elements or surfaces. The methacrylate backing combines some of the advantages of glass, such as transparency, while eliminating some of the processing problems inherent in glass itself.
It is the most efficient solution to use for backlighting marble, providing more rigidity to thin layers of marble.
Concept
Lightweight marble is obtained by combining a thin slab of marble and a layer of honeycomb material. This technical solution drastically reduces the weight of marble panels (which weighs approximately 14 kg per square metre), allowing us to use marble for projects where its use would otherwise not be possible.
Advantages:
- LIGHT WEIGHT: the reduction in weight is an advantage both from a static/structural point of view and during the handling and laying phases
- SIZE: this technique makes it possible to produce very large panels, which would otherwise be impossible to handle on site and would make the laying phase very complex and risky.
- STRENGTH: lightened panels are very sturdy, allowing to create elements that would otherwise not be easy to realise.
- BACKLIGHTING: by using translucent supports and by decreasing the thickness of the stone, it is possible to backlight panels.
