FINA Stoneworks

Have a question about our panels? We have the answer. Check out these FAQs and call or text us today for more information!

  • What is a lightweight stone panel?

    FINA Stoneworks' stone panels are a lightweight natural stone veneer system that offer the beauty of natural stone without the weight or brittle properties people expect with thick, heavy slabs. With a 2 cm [3/4”] thick stone slab, we can produce two lightweight stone panels. Our unique process reduces the number of slabs required for each project nearly in half, saving natural resources as well as reducing carbon emissions.

  • What is the weight of the panel?

    Our stone panels weigh only 3.5 pounds per square foot, approximately 80% less than the weight of a 1” thick dimensional stone slab. These lightweight stone panels can reduce the structural backup requirements, shipping, installation equipment, and labor costs. What's more, the honeycomb backer provides superior impact resistance and flexural strength.

  • Do you have a selection of standard stones?

    At FINA Stoneworks, we carry a few standard types of limestone and marble. Most, if not all, natural stone slabs available can be processed into FINA Stoneworks stone panels. Our team can assist with trends and budget costs for your potential project - call or text us to learn more.

  • How large of a panel can be produced?

    Depending on the available slab sizes, we can produce large panel sizes of 4’x8’, 5’x8’, 4’x10’, and 5’x10’.

  • What stone finishes are available?

    The selection of stone finishes depends on the application as well as the stone type. Generally, the stones and finishes listed below can be applied. However, not all finishes are suitable for exterior applications.

  • Can these panels be used on building exteriors?

  • Can these panels be used as countertops?
