Frequently Asked Questions

Stone veneer is a thin layer of natural stone or a composite material that mimics the appearance of natural stone. Our stone veneer is made using advanced techniques to cut and shape natural stone into thin sheets, which are then backed with various materials like resin, fabric, or translucent layers to provide flexibility, durability, and unique aesthetic qualities.

At iSTONES, we offer three main types of stone veneer:

• iStones Classic: Features a resin backing for added strength and rigidity, ideal for interior and exterior wall cladding.
• iStones Translucent: Semi-transparent veneer that can be backlit for stunning visual effects, perfect for feature walls and decorative panels.
• iStones Flexible: Ultra-thin and highly flexible veneer with a fabric backing, suitable for curved surfaces and intricate designs.

Stone veneer offers several advantages over traditional stone, including:

• Lightweight: Easier to handle and install, reducing labor costs.
• Flexible: Can be applied to a variety of surfaces and shapes.
• Cost-effective: Provides the aesthetic of natural stone at a lower cost.
• Durable: Resistant to water, weather, and UV rays, making it suitable for both interior and exterior use.
• Eco-friendly: Made from natural materials with minimal environmental impact.

Stone veneer is typically installed using adhesives or mechanical fasteners, depending on the type of backing and the surface it is being applied to. For most installations, no special tools are required, and the process can be completed quickly and efficiently. We provide detailed installation guides and support to ensure the best results.
