MIKOLITE

Thin Marble Slab

MIKOLITE Slabs

These marble slabs are 90% Thinner than traditional stone slabs. MIKOLITE natural stone slabs allow you to utilize marble you never could before. Now you can create luxurious designs in a wide range of applications from walls, cabinets, showers, bathtub to large scale fireplace surrounds, and many more. And that is only the construction sector. We've also used MIKOLITE stone in electronic gadgets, furniture, lifestyle accessories, airplanes, yachts, RVs, car interiors, toilets and many more. Through our cutting-edge technology, the natural stone is not only thinner, but it is also more resilient than traditional slabs and easier/faster to install.

Installation is Five times faster

Install these 1.2 x 2.4 meter slabs directly on existing walls or floors. MIKOLITE wall panels can be installed on various types of existing walls, as well as directly on steel or wooden studs. These panels are essentially the same as your traditional stone slabs. The difference is because it's thinner and stronger, it makes the installation so much easier to work with. For renovation jobs, you don't need to do the demolition work like you do to install traditional 2cm slabs! Our slabs go directly over the existing surface. The panels have been very popular for renovating shower/bathtub spaces. It cannot get easier!

Beyond the Surface

MIKOL began with a simple quest: To promote a greener building material option in the natural stone industry. And to also break through certain traditional barriers that natural stones carried for a long time. This way designers from all fields can make the boldest visions come to life.

Originating from the Bay Area, MIKOL has soaked up the silicon valley methodology and implemented into the building industry.

When we first introduced the MIKOLITE line to the stone industry, people were mind blown how thin and durable the marble slabs were. Industry veterans questioned whether it was really stone or a man made product. We gained a lot of attention, but it never translated into much sales.

What our team discovered was that the barrier for most stone companies was the education process as well as understanding the value (price). MIKOLITE is more expensive when it is compared to medium ranged marble stones. However, the cost savings is in the overall project. Think of it as a Tesla automobile. You help the environment, enjoy lower maintenance and gas cost, but it's priced higher than your average cars. Now take out the Tesla brand and then try to sell the car.

So in 2015, we created MIKOL, the world's first real marble lifestyle accessory brand. From our failed experiences, we decided to raise awareness directly with consumers through well designed everyday products made with marble. The first product that we came out was the real marble iPhone case.

Why The iPhone Case?

There were several factors that went into this decision. The main factor was that everyone has a mobile phone. If we can demonstrate the applications of how lightweight, durable and beautiful MIKOLITE marble is on an iphone case that people carry everyday, then the word should spread. Second, Apple users could afford a premium iPhone case made out of real marble.

With the success of the marble iPhone case, it led to the development of notebooks, wireless chargers, business cards and many more items.

Even though the brand only started in 2015, the MIKOL team has over 40 years experience.

The Future of Natural Stone

MIKOLITE slabs are light-weight, reinforced natural stone slabs at the same thickness of 2 credit cards. When the panels are installed, our stone presents the exact surface aesthetics as traditional 2cm/3cm stone slabs while preserving 90%-93% of this precious natural resource. MIKOL carefully selects the highest quality marble, onyx, granite, travertine, limestone and terrazzo selections from around the world. Most MIKOLITE slabs can be book-matched from an identical slab to provide an unique symmetrical design. Each MIKOLITE slab is only 1lb per square foot, which allows for easier handling, faster installation and safer work environment compared to traditional solid 2cm stone.

The slabs can come in most finishes as well as edge details. Most installers are able to fabricate on site, thus saving time, resources, and money for themselves and clients. MIKOLITE can be used for shower/tub surrounds, fireplaces, wine cellars, bar tops/fronts, elevators, luxury RV's and boats, ceilings, lobbies, and much more!

Modern marble Marble is never out of style.
