STONE PERFORMANCE

The Stone Performance Process solution: lightness, adaptability and efficiency of installation Inspired by aerospace technology, the SPP solution is modern natural stone, freed from all its restrictive constraints. It makes very large formats possible (up to 1.70 x 3.20 m, other dimensions/thicknesses available) and elegantly blends beauty, lightness and high performance. Stone doesn’t have to endure any compromise! Its choice remains just as vast (any type of granite, marble, limestone, onyx, travertine…) and so does its finishing, just the same as in traditional stonework: polished, honed, matt, peened, brushed, split layed… The great variety of fitting methods proposed by SPP gives rise to an unlimited range of concepts and designs. Lightness With a weight of 15kg/m² and great robustness, SPP allows the beauty and grandeur of natural stone to be combined with the demands of the most daring projects and their technical subtleties. High performance Originating from the association between natural stone and high-tech composites, SPP panels are constituted of stone bonded to a reinforced aluminium honeycomb backing. This combination yields a homogenous and indivisible product, deploying exceptional mechanical characteristics and that can withstand almost anything. Thanks to the ingenious earthquake-resistant fixing system that we developed, the SPP process is ideally suited for implementation in seismic areas. Flexibility With its experience and know-how, the SPP technology opens up a whole new perspective for natural stone applications. Today, even bending this material is no issue, to form archways, curved walls or vaulted false ceilings without taking sacrificing its natural charm or qualitative features. Adaptability SPP technology adapts to all concepts and purposes: facades, curtain-wall systems, internal cladding and elevators, false-ceilings, internal fitting and furniture, doors, tables, stairways, showers… They are easily fastened onto all types of supporting works (concrete, wood, metal…). This revolution in stone design and layout singularly unlocks creativity. Moreover, with their attributes and fixing adequacy, the SPP panels are perfectly adapted for modular pre-assembly in factory, and simplify implementation even further.
