Backlit stone earns its place in interiors where people wait, gather and are looked after. It reads as material rather than fixture, and at 3–4 lbs per square foot it goes on partition walls that were never built to carry stone.
Gaming floors and hotel lobbies run on atmosphere, and a lit stone wall does more for a room's temperature than any amount of downlighting. Panels take LED sheet behind them, so a whole wall lights evenly with no visible source.
Because the panels are light, they mount on existing partitions and curved substructures without a structural rethink — useful in refits where the programme is short and the wall was never designed for stone.
Waiting rooms have one job the finishes can help with, and warm lit stone does it — it lowers the temperature of a room where people are anxious. It also doesn't date, which matters in a fit-out expected to last fifteen years.
Surfaces are sealed stone, so they wipe down. Panels are light enough for the partition construction used throughout medical office buildings, and can be prepared for the attachment method the wall allows.
A lit stone wall behind a reception desk is the cheapest serious thing a lobby can have. In retail, the same panels build display plinths and vitrine backs that light the merchandise rather than competing with it.
Where a brand has a colour, we match to it rather than to whatever the yard had that week — Pantone ranges for budgeted work, exact sourcing where the match has to be precise.
A lit bar front is the one surface every guest faces for the length of an evening. Lit from within, stone gives a room its ambient level without a single visible fitting, and the light changes as the room fills.
Counter tops and bar returns can be built from the same material with bonded edges, so the lit face and the working surface read as one piece of stone.
The panel is 5mm of natural stone bonded to a translucent honeycomb core. The core carries the load and diffuses the light, which is what allows a large lit surface with nothing showing behind it.
3–4 lbs per square foot finished. Mounts on partition construction without structural reinforcement.
LED sheet, rope, panel or incandescent. No diode visible through the face. Lighting supplied separately.
Bonded returns and finished corners, so a feature turns a corner as a single piece rather than a mitre.
Arrives finished, with kerf holes and attachment preparation where the assembly requires it.
Blocks are chosen for how they behave lit, which is not the same as how they look in a yard. Some handsome slabs go flat under light; others open up entirely.

Characteristics only appear as a block is opened. Selecting at that stage is what makes a consistent run possible across a large wall.
Cut for sound material rather than presented as sound. What is lit shows everything.
Faults filled with epoxy — routine in the slab market — read as dark bruises the moment a panel is lit. We don't accept them.
Where a project is working to a budget, colour is matched to a range rather than to a photograph, so what arrives is what was specified.
Sector, wall size, and the light you want in the room. We'll come back with stone options, panel sizing and lead time.
