Sketch Natural flexible stones flexible veneers are lightweight and thin with an overall thickness of 1.5mm to 3mm depending on the stone surface. They can be applied in both internal, external and wet areas. The veneers cover a range of stones including slate, marble, sandstone, and quartzite with our new range of man made products of Liquid Rust and Concrete completing the range. Our stone veneers are very durable featuring a fibreglass and polyester backing which is highly water and heat resistant providing a long life decorative wall installation. When used on the floor it provides a slip resistant finish due to the various textures available within in the range. The Sketch Australia stone veneers now offers natural stone in applications that once were restricted by using traditional stone slabs and tiles due to weight and thickness. Applications are endless and you are only limited by your imagination where this beautiful product can be used for decorative project.

Flexible Slate Stone Veneer can be bent or flexed to a radius of 360mm along the length. The width is not recommended for bending. Due to the nature of the different thicknesses of the individual items, the degree of radius varies per item. Fabric backing sheets are more suitable for such kinds of installations including edge bending operations in the woodworking industry.
