Frequently asked questions
What are translucent slate veneer panels?
Translucent slate veneer sheets are thin, flexible sheets made from natural slate that are backed with fibreglass. This unique combination allows light to pass through, creating a stunning visual effect.
What is the thickness of the panels?
The panels are made out of an ultra-thin material with a thickness of only 2-2.5mm.
How can I cut the panels to size?
Our GLOWstone panels can easily be cut using tile cutting blades, sheet cutting scissors, stone cutter with a diamond blade, jigsaw or angle grinder.
How can GLOWstone sheets be installed?
On the larger sheets we recommend attaching 5mm clear perspex or acrylic to strengthen the panel and to allow a good distribution of light when lit up. We recommend using clear drying flexible adhesive such as Soudal Crystal Clean to attach the lightweight stone to the perspex.
Can I seal the stone to protect the surface?
You may use Aquatect low sheen stone sealer to protect the stone against UV, limescale, oil and grease.
Can I install GLOWstone sheets myself, or do I need professional help?
While relatively east to install, it's recommended to consult with a professional for larger or complex projects to ensure proper adhesion and alignment especially when using LED lights or panels.
What surfaces are suitable for installing GLOWstone?
They can be applied to drywall, plywood, MDF, concrete, and some other smooth surfaces. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust and grease before installation.
What are some common uses for translucent slate veneer sheets?
Translucent slate veneer sheets can be used for accent walls, feature panels, partitions, backlit countertops, lighting fixtures, and decorative elements in both residential and commercial spaces.
Does GLOWstone require any special lighting for the best effect?
While they can be backlit with LED lights for a stunning visual effect, they also look impressive under natural light, especially when installed near windows or other light sources.
How do I light the slate veneer using LED lighting?
For discreet placement, LED strips can be positioned along the concealed side of the application, typically behind a wooden batten or frame. We advise maintaining a minimum gap of 200mm between the light source and the stone when utilizing LED strips. In cases where a shorter distance is necessary, you have the option of using slim LED panels, available in various sizes and colors, with a thickness of just 6-8mm.
