Stone Faux Translucent Stone Applications Backlit Applications Faux Translucent Stone is most eye catching when combined with light. Designs utilising backlighting show off the stone, literally, in its best light. Applications include Reception Desks, Bars, Lighting Fixtures and, when com- bined with LED’s a wall and ceiling cladding to stunning effect. Flavours, Liquors and Fragrances Faux Translucent Stone has been tested by us for applications in direct contact with flavours, liquors and fragrances. We did not notice any difficulties removing stains, discolourisation or traces of chemical damage. This is another fantastic reason why Faux Translucent Stone is very popular for applications in retail and hospitality. Wall Cladding Faux Translucent Stone is beautiful when used as wall cladding. The material can be used for backlit applications, but is also just as elegant and effective without light. The material is also suitable for applications in wet surroundings such as bathrooms as the chemical resistance is very good and it can easily be cleaned and maintained. Reception Desks and Bars Faux Translucent Stone sheets weigh significantly less then real natural stone. That is why this material is very popular (e.g. with yacht interiror designers). The mate- rial is often used for back-lit reception desks, bars and counters, in both the hopsitality and retail industry. Due to the materials unique properties, we can bond, drill and even bend it!
