Grama Blend Lightweight natural stone consists of a thin sheet of natural stone that has been bonded to our lightweight ultra-thin carrier panel, which results in a much lighter product, in some cases reducing weight by up to 70%. These lightweight stone panels can be supplied ready to be fixed to walls, floor, ceilings, furniture and other surfaces more quickly and much easier than traditional thick and heavy natural stone.

Lightweight Natural Stone

Today, there are many so-called lightweight stone panels available from a number of suppliers. Most of these products are from China or Europe and are low quality, although there are lighter than solid stone, they are not classed as true lightweight ultra-thin stone due to their overall thickness and minimal weight saving.  Another thing to look out for is whether these alternative products feature voids in the bond between stone and carrier, as these can be potential failure points after installation. Grama Blend lightweight stone is produced using a fully automated production system, offering unrivalled quality. Superyachts, lift cars, mobile homes and aircrafts all require a lightweight stone that has an amount of flexibility without cracking. Grama Blend lightweight products are tested and approved with current certification; copies are available on request.

Why Is Lightweight Stone a Great Solution for Designers

Translucent stones such as onyx, semi-precious and a multitude of marbles can be further enhanced using backlighting. Lightweight natural stone is timeless and elegant, there are no visible differences compared to traditional heavier formats of natural stone.
