Baresque Wall Coverings and Fabrics introduces an innovation in modern architecture with the launch of real stone veneers in Australia.

Featuring a thickness of only 1.5mm - 2mm, the real stone veneer panels have been introduced into the Australian market by Baresque, a leading architecture finishes and furniture company in partnership with German company Slate-Lite.

Slate-Lite products have a real slate surface and light weighted back that allow architects and designers to use the range to give a real stone finish to any surface without the mass of traditional stone slabs.

JJ Blaiklock, managing director, Baresque explains that Australians are becoming more cost and environmentally conscious, resulting in greater demand for flexible products such as the Slate-Lite real stone veneers that enable designers and architects to achieve the stone finish look and feel on any project with a product that is less than 2mm in thickness.

He adds that the aesthetic appeal of the slate veneer combined with the flexibility of the light weighted back creates unlimited scope for application. Slate-Lite can be used for indoor cladding as well as furniture design in a range of projects such as office foyers, receptions, airports and universities.
