For thousands of years, natural stone has been admired for its ability to add unmatched elegance to any design. Daltile’s new Slimlite Slate and Quartzite brings this beauty to applications in which the weight and thickness of natural stone may have traditionally limited these options.
Slimlite Slate and Quartzite is a revolutionary new surfacing product created by splitting raw material from actual slate and quartzite quarries into very thin layers of stone. These thin layers are bonded to a fiberglass backing, producing a strong yet flexible piece of stone, making it an ideal facade for installation over existing surfaces and remodels.
Durability and flexibility allow Slimlite Slate and Quartzite to be installed over surfaces including concrete, ceramic, wood, metal, plywood, fiberglass, backer board, tile, dry wall, painted surfaces, MDF, door skins, cabinetry, columns and beyond.
Slimlite Slate and Quartzite weigh less that 0.5 lbs. per square foot and are about 1/8” thick. Panels are available 12” x 24” and 24” x 48”. Need something bigger to solve your decorating dilemma? Don’t despair. Custom orders are available, up to 35” x 94”. There are six colors to choose from and Daltile does plan on stocking those colors.
The implications of how this product can be used are pretty incredible (not only for designers, who can now be ultra-creative in their designs, but for you—the homeowner). Slimlite allows you to transform any area into an elegant space, at a fraction of the cost of traditional stone. And, given the line-up of materials over which it can be installed, consider the savings you will have not tearing out old materials (and less mess).
Come in to our showroom and see our samples of Slimlite Slate and Quartzite. Back to my snacking now that we are done talking slim. :)
Happy Holidays!
