For the first time, NORKPALM took part in the BATIMAT RUSSIA exhibition with designer panels of natural stone veneer. This is a trendy material for furniture production and interior decoration.
Panels are produced from thin slices (veneer) of natural stone and various bases. The basic components include fiberglass, polyester resin, polyester fleece. The panels are supplied on a flexible base, which is 0.6 mm in thickness, and on a semi-rigid base, 2–3 mm in thickness. The layer of stone and glue is very thin, and the fleece is flexible by nature, that’s why these panels are easier to bend than others. Stone veneer is glued with a chemical adhesive. Panels are made of Himalayan stone as quartzite, slate and sandstone.
Slim Stone is a finishing material which fully preserves the texture of natural stone. That’s why the manufactured products are unique, because in nature the stone texture is never repeated. Today, NORKPALM presents the Slim Stone panels of 12 types of stone, and each of them deserves special attention.
NORKPALM also acted as a partner in implementation of the stand designed by the Italian architect Vincenzo Stridacchio at the Integrated Solutions exposition. He used Platinum Black (Hong Kong) slate for finishing one of the kitchen walls. It is black-gray stone, sometimes with a warm beige shade. Clearly defined relief, locally interspersed with metallic dust particles – under various lighting the color changes from light gray to deep black with gray patches.
