Phidia System Marble Slab Dimension 2mx1m

“Light marble” a seeming contradiction…
The main problems with using stone stem from difficulties in handling and laying it and from size limits. The slabs generally used have to be 2.5 to 3 cm thick, on average, to limit the risk of breakage during laying.
Thickness and high specific weight combine to produce averages weight of between 80 and 90 kg per square metre.
Weight thus limits usable dimensions (it’s difficult to use slabs of over 2m2), it necessitates complex handling and anchoring systems, requires considerable manpower in the assembly stage and significantly increases the cost of the structure (the building and mechanical parts) that has to support such loads.
As a result, the market is looking to alternative materials, or artificial marble.
Natural Stone Tech has developed the Phidia panel:
thin slab of marble (from 3.5 to 5 mm) on a structural support (from 5 to 40 mm) with an overall thickness ranging from 8.5 to 45 mm.
The slab weighs around 20 kg/m2, offers a natural stone facing with a back-panel made of a material that allows for rapid installation (with rivets or adhesive, in frames, anchored directly to the wall with dowels).This overcomes size-limit problems.
Phidia makes it possible to obtain slabs of up to 6m2 weighing an overall 120 kg against the 480 kg of traditional natural stone.
Phidia System
Not a product, but a system.
Natural Stone Tech’s strategic view is that most operators need complete solutions, not just slabs of stone.
This is why Phidia the product is part of Phidia the system, which is a global solution.
A company team works in close collaboration with the client to assess requirements and find optimum solutions in terms of:
type of stone;
type of support;
type of fixing and anchoring systems.
