Thin stone veneer

KS-M01 / Thin stone veneer

Thin stone veneer

A thin stone surface with a backing, distinct from a solid slab or carving block. The referenced sheet format is 1220 × 610 mm; confirm thickness, backing, installation and suitability for your application.

KS-M02 / Stone samples

Stone samples

Sample references for discussing appearance. Confirm the actual stone identity, sample dimensions, finish and available supply format. A small sample does not define the vein layout of a larger slab or finished object.

Two families. Different expressions.

Explore material
Marble

01 / Marble

Marble

Choose a veined direction when pattern and contrast should lead the object. Review background color, vein scale and the placement of visible faces.

Travertine

02 / Travertine

Travertine

Choose a porous, layered direction when texture should lead the collection. Agree on cut direction, filled or unfilled pores and the edge detail.

THE MATERIAL LIBRARY

The same stone. A different surface.

Compare finishes on the same material and shape. Finish names alone do not define gloss, texture or the final care requirements.

01

Honed

A lower-reflection direction for a softer visual result. Agree on the target sheen and inspect flat faces, curves and edges together.

02

Polished

A more reflective direction that changes the way color and veins are seen. Review the sample under the lighting of the intended setting.

03

Brushed / textured

A tactile direction to discuss for the selected stone and geometry. Confirm the physical texture, cleaning access and feasibility on a sample.

Compare honed and polished finishes

Choose around the object.

Trays & bathroom sets

Trays & bathroom sets

Start with usable dimensions, component fit, base protection and care. A coordinated set needs an approved range across all pieces.

Decorative bowls & vases

Decorative bowls & vases

Review depth, wall thickness, stability and the inside finish. Food contact and holding water need separate confirmation.

Lamps & statement objects

Lamps & statement objects

Compare pattern scale, visible faces, weight and hardware interfaces. Confirm the complete construction rather than only the stone sample.

From a reference to an approved material.

  1. 01

    Set the visual direction

    Share the stone name, color reference, product type and expected quantity.

  2. 02

    Compare a representative range

    Review several samples for tone, vein movement, pores and any visible filling or repairs.

  3. 03

    Approve the finished object

    Check the selected finish, edges, assembly, intended use and care on a product-scale sample.

  4. 04

    Keep the approval record

    Record the accepted variation and sample date, then use them when reviewing the production brief.

THE MATERIAL LIBRARY

Material questions, answered.

Read the stone care guide
01Can every stone be used for every product?+

No. Geometry, wall thickness, joints, filling, hardware and intended use affect the choice. Start with a material direction, then review feasibility using the drawing and a finished sample.

02Will every piece match the photograph?+

Natural veining, pores and tone vary. Approve a representative range rather than a single image, and agree on the features that are acceptable across a set or repeat order.

03Does sealing make marble or travertine stain-proof?+

Do not treat a sealer as a guarantee against stains or acid etching. Ask for the treatment specification and care instructions for the actual finish and intended use.

04What should I send with a material inquiry?+

Include the material direction, product reference, dimensions, finish, quantity and destination. Add any matching-set, food-contact, water-use, hardware or packaging requirements.
