Lightweight Thin Stone Veneer Meets the Beauty of Natural Stone – Shanthari Exports
Today’s architectural world features a modern state of the art style with clean lines, use of simple yet innovative materials, and energy efficiency as key criteria; thin stone veneers have become a global design choice for their ability to provide a true representation of natural stone with the functionality to meet modern construction standards.
Shanthari Exports creates their thin stone veneers as an architectural design solution to fulfill today’s needs.
What Is Thin Stone Veneer?
Natural stone has been cut down to create a thin stone veneer, which is made from natural rock and used mainly for wall cladding. This veneer, which is not the same as full thickness stone, has the same look and feel as a full thickness stone, however, it is a fraction of the weight.
The thin stone veneer is perfect for projects where aesthetics, flexibility and ease of install are as important as the other factors.
Thin Stone Veneers Made for Light Construction
The primary benefit of using thin stone veneers from India, compared with traditional stone cladding materials, is that they are lightweight.
- building’s overall weight due to the structural load is reduced
- faster and easier to install
- less destructive means for shipping and handling
For designers interested in modern architecture, having thin stone veneers available provides more creative design options with the assurance of meeting all structural requirements of the building.
Simple to Use, Clean Results
Thin stone veneer was made to fit nicely into today’s construction systems. It can be:
- Installed to concrete, brick, drywall, metal frames
- Used with normal adhesive and fixing systems
- Installed with little waste or cutting
Because thin stone veneer is an easy product to put in place, project budgets will be minimised and project schedules will be on time with the use of thin stone veneer at large scale projects.
Interior Wall Applications: Subtle Luxury
Thin stone veneer creates a soft touch and warmth to any surface in an interior space without dominating the interior design. Thin stone veneer can be used as a Natural Stone Wall Cladding material for interior applications including:
– Creating feature walls inside a living room or lobby
– Accent walls for either the receptionist or office
– Retail, hospitality, and dining interiors.
The natural variation of stone provides depth and character and gives your interior a luxurious experience while remaining grounded.
Exterior Wall Applications: Modern and Durable
Modern veneer stone is both visually impressive and provides durable and long-lasting exterior wall solutions. Commonly used as decorative stone for exterior walls, it is typically specified for:
- Facades
- Compound Boundaries
- Exterior Accent Elevation
When properly fabricated with finish products (i.e., applied), veneer stones can provide excellent weather resistance while adding a modern architectural look.
A Perfect Match with Today’s Architecture
These days, thin stone veneers can be found throughout the world of modern architecture, such as:
- in villas that promote minimal living
- in office buildings
- in hotels/resorts/mixed-use developments
Architects often use veneers to provide contrast. By combining the natural qualities of stone with materials such as glass, steel, and concrete, a total modern look has been accomplished.
