Showcase of innovative natural stone cladding system at DesignBuild

Written by Laura | Apr 19, 2017 10:26:43 AM

We will be showcasing our exciting new natural stone cladding product, Vitrastone, at the DesignBuild exhibition in Sydney from 3-5 May. Visitors will be able to see first-hand the innovative natural stone cladding system for themselves including the major advantages that it has over traditional dimensional stone.

Vitrastone is attracting considerable interest from the industry as it offers the look and feel of dimensional stone but at almost a quarter of the weight. This lighter weight reduces the required thickness of an overall wall build-up and cladding zone, allowing for further significant cost-savings with framing, installation and any material shipping and handling. The lighter weight also allows for a streamlined wall framing system.

Vitrastone’s composition also sets it apart from traditional stone. It utilises an aluminium honeycomb substrate, aviation grade epoxies and is then finished with a natural stone laminate layer. The product is prefabricated, and installed with a simple fixing system.

You can find us at stand B36 in the Structural & Materials section of the exhibition hall. If you are not attending the event but would like more information on the product please take a look at the Vitrastone Production Introduction.
