There are three models of SLATE-LITE®: STANDARD FR, TRANSLUCENT and ECO STONE / STONE SPECIAL ECO.

STANDARD SLATE-LITE ® FR is a 1 mm natural slate veneer, with a backing layer of fiberglass and resin, which provides strength, flexibility and dimensional stability to the sheet. It is an extremely light, thin and versatile material, with only 1.5 kg/ sqm. Its easy installation makes it perfect for refurbishing, since its application prevents debris build. It’s only required having a clean and smooth surface to be applied.

Also used in furniture design, some of the leading brands in the furniture market have already incorporated SLATE-LITE® into their designs, thanks to its ease of cutting and the possibility of pressing onto different surfaces: wood, chipboard, MDF, HDF...

Ephemeral architecture, signs, mobile homes, office partitions or ventilated facades are just a few examples where SLATE-LITE® STANDARD FR can be used. SLATE-LITE® is available in 21 colors, distinguishing between matt and shiny colors. The standard size is 61x122 cm, although some colors can reach 251x105 cm, suitable for use in the manufacture of furniture.
