TechnoStone

TechnoStone is a reinforced thin panel of granite or marble with outstanding mechanical properties that make it an ideal product for numerous applications in the building and furnishing industry. The panel consists of a thin slab of granite or marble paired with an iisottrophically-woven double fabric, made from unidirectional, crossed glass-fiber strands.

The granite surface adjacent to the glass-fiber has continuous grooves, having suitable depth and thickness, intersecting perpendicularly so as to form a square grid with a center distance of 10cm. A grid made from glass-fiber multi-filar wire is impregnated with an epoxy system, thereby causing it to permanently bond with the natural stone and become incorporated into the stone grooves.

The amount and thickness of epoxy used is selected according to formulas that assure the best bonding between the stone and the 1.5 mm thick glass-fiber/‘resin reinforcement. The TechnoStone panel is manufactured with a continuous high-temperature process, which permanently bonds together the granite, the grid, and the glass-fiber sheet at the same time.
