Honeycomb Backed Calacatta Carrara Marble Panels
Experience the luxury of Italian marble without the weight. Our Honeycomb Backed Calacatta Carrara Marble Panels combine a thin veneer of genuine Calacatta marble with an aerospace-grade aluminum honeycomb core.
This innovative composite technology makes the stone 80% lighter and significantly stronger than solid slabs. As a specialized China Stone Factory, CaronStone provides precision fabrication for high-end architectural projects worldwide.
Surface Material: Calacatta Carrara
The face of the panel is 100% Natural Calacatta Carrara Marble. It features a warm white background with soft, elegant grey veining. By slicing the block into thin veneers (3mm-5mm), we maximize the yield of this precious material, offering a more sustainable and cost-effective solution.
