Stone Reinforcement

CEL COMPONENTS’ lightweight sandwich panels with honeycomb cores faced with various sheets of fibreglass impregnated with epoxy or phenolic resin (Alustep Series) are used to reinforce marble and semi-precious stones. By applying the panels to natural stones, the thickness of the slabs can be halved, greatly reducing the material weight and cost. This application is not only limited to marble and precious stones but it can be also used with any natural or engineered stone or porcelain material.

The advantages of this applications are:

• Weight reduction
• Material and cost saving (including reduced logistics)
• Increased mechanical properties
• Material reinforcement
