Sorccia Stone, Los Angeles, expands its product line with a variety of eco-friendly, ultra-thin natural-stone panels.
The panels utilize front layers of thinly cut (down to 3mm) stone, and a high-tech backing engineered to make the finished product stronger than ordinary slab stone. Options for backing material include aluminum composite polymer (ACP), translucent acrylic, fiberglass and honeycomb. PVB backing provides superior strength for backlighting applications.
Because of its geographically diverse sourcing, Sorccia stone products offer an abundance of distinctive appearances and other characteristics. Panels are available in colors ranging from marble, travertine, onyx and granite to semi-precious stones.
“Our ultra-thin panels combine unique visual appeal with strength, light weight and affordable installation costs; at just 3 pounds per square foot, a 4′ x 8′ stone panel weighs only 96 pounds,” says Sorccia President David Cohen. “These innovative panels are well suited for interior walls, bath and shower panels, wainscoting, feature walls, furniture, flooring, ceilings and fireplace surrounds.
“Thinner panels also mean less environmental impact in terms of raw material usage and energy consumption. Transportation costs are lower per unit, and manufacturing thin panels produces fewer emissions.”
Sorccia Stone ultra-thin panels are available today in sizes ranging from 32″ x 72″ up to 60″ x 120″. The company accepts orders for special sizes and accessories on an individual basis.
Sorccia Stone and its parent company, Inspired Surface Solutions, is a Los Angeles-based national importer/wholesaler specializing in natural-stone products.
