Natural Flexible Stone Veneer

Reduce Carbon Emissions

Cuartex products weigh substantially less than their standard stone counterparts. With Cuartex at 1.*5 kgs per m2 (3.*4kg per square meter or .*4 pounds per square foot), this is 1/*0 of the weight of the standard 3/8 slate! As a result, transport costs and carbon emissions are dramatically reduced.

Save Money

When compared to standard stone or tile products, transportation cost, fuel and space are saved in normal shipping and handling because of Cuartex's extreme light weight. Installation is also faster, easier and cleaner to cut into any desired shape.

INSTALLATION

Cuartex is a natural stone product and therefore has porous surfaces. They must be sealed or enhanced prior to handling to ensure they remain clean from the oils of your hands and to help protect them from stains and spills.

Cuartex is a thin sheet of natural stone veneer with a fiberglass backing and can be applied over numerous surfaces such as concrete, drywall, painted surfaces, ceramic, wood, plywood, MDF, cabinetry and many others. These are natural stone products and therefore within a family, it is normal to find varying degrees of texture and colour. These products are used in generally the same way wood veneer and laminate products are used. Fiberglass reinforced polyester (FRP) is used in the backing, giving it durability, strength and resilience. The minimum inward or outward radius it will flex depends on product thickness and the surface texture before it starts to crack. Warming the sheets with a heat gun, will help achieve a tighter radius.

SEALING

As mentioned previously, Cuartex is natural stone product and therefore has porous surfaces. They must be sealed or enhanced prior to handling to ensure they remain clean from the oils of your hands and to help protect them from stains and spills. There are a number of natural stone sealers and enhancers on the market for a variety of applications. Test these products for the desired appearance and colour prior to installation.
