The sheet of stone, an original covering
Discovered by chance, the stone sheet is a covering made of real natural stone. It may be hard to believe, yet it is a natural stone sheet.

Over the years the process has been perfected, giving rise to this innovative material. Light and flexible, this immense sheet now makes it easy to bring the beauty of stone into interior design and decoration projects.
The composition of the sheet of stone
The stone sheet is made of a support made of fibreglass and resin. As for the stone layer, it is either slate or mica. This covering cannot be made with all the stones found in nature. As the slate stones are not very dense and have a stratified structure, only slate and mica can be used. There is no real difference between the two, apart from the finishing touches. Slate is smoother, while mica is rougher with a much more visible stratum effect.
