Advantages of using Lightweight Marble: A Game-Changer in Interior Design

April 16, 2024

The Versatility of Lightweight Marble

Lightweight marble transcends traditional boundaries, offering an exceptional blend of beauty, functionality, and durability. This innovative material retains all the captivating allure of natural stone while introducing groundbreaking possibilities for design and application.

The Innovation Behind Lightweight Marble

Traditional Lightweight Marble

The production of lightweight marble involves a meticulous process of combining thin marble slabs with lightweight backing panels. These panels come in three variants: aluminium honeycomb, polypropylene, and high-density polyurethane foams. Once assembled, the sandwich panel undergoes precision cutting with a diamond wire, resulting in two lightweight marble panels. These panels are then calibrated and finished to achieve the desired look. Now it is simply backed by a fiberglass resin reducing the cost significantly compared to traditional aluminum honeycomb backings.

A Modern Twist on a Timeless Material

Lightweight marble represents a contemporary reinterpretation of a classic material. Its innovative form opens up new avenues for designers, offering a viable alternative to traditional materials like wood.

Advantages of Choosing Lightweight Marble

Unparalleled Lightness

Compared to conventional marble slabs weighing approximately 58 kilograms per square meter at a 20-millimeter thickness, lightweight marble weighs just 16 kilograms per square meter and lower depending on your desired thickness. This significant reduction in weight makes it an ideal choice for projects where weight constraints are a concern. The standard thickness now is 3mm for natural stone slabs used in construction. But in certain designs, we produce 0.8mm thickness inorder for the stone to bend around columns. 

Durability and Flexibility



Despite its lightweight nature, lightweight marble exhibits remarkable resistance to impacts, making it both durable and easy to install. Its flexibility allows for the creation of pre-assembled elements, further enhancing its versatility.

Applications and Industries Benefiting from Lightweight Marble

Aerospace and Maritime Industries

The unique properties of lightweight marble make it a preferred choice for the aerospace and maritime sectors. It is widely used to adorn yacht interiors, cabins, and other luxury spaces, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication.

Interior Design and Furniture

In the realm of interior design, lightweight marble is revolutionizing the way furniture components are crafted. From tables and doors to elevator interiors in upscale settings, the possibilities are endless. The panels are lighter, so designers can design larger format tiles.  It's very possible to install panels 1.5 x 2.5 meters for a grand look utilizing natural marble slabs. 

Preserving the Beauty of Natural Stone

Despite its reduced weight, lightweight marble maintains the authentic beauty of natural stone. Every nuance of color and intricate vein pattern is preserved, ensuring a stunning visual appeal that rivals its heavier counterparts.

Transforming Spaces with Lightweight Marble

With lightweight marble, the limitations imposed by traditional marble's weight are a thing of the past. This innovative material allows for the creation of luxurious and distinctive spaces, turning ordinary surfaces into extraordinary works of art. Embrace the future of design with lightweight marble and unlock a world of possibilities for your next project.
