Flexible Rock
Twelve surfaces on one flexible mineral substrate, ordered by depth: Slate at 3 mm and 6 kg/m², Shale at 15 mm and 12 kg/m², and ten surfaces between them at 5, 8, 9, 12 and 13 mm. Thickness and weight are the only things that change across the range. Fixing is polymer adhesive or mechanical on a ventilated frame, fire class is EN 13501-1 A2-s1,d0 on a non-combustible substrate, and every sheet cuts with a utility knife on site. Sheet sizes run 1200 × 3000 mm for most surfaces and 1160 × 3000 mm or 1100 × 2850 mm for the deeper presses, because of mould tooling. Each surface is cast in a steel mould rather than printed, so the relief runs through the sheet and a cut edge shows the same texture as the face. It is... More

Flexible Travertine
Vein-cut travertine cast onto a flexible mineral sheet. The surface follows the bed lines of quarried stone, but the sheet is 3 or 4 mm thick and weighs 6.5 kg/m², so it goes onto walls that would never take 20 mm stone — existing tile, render, plasterboard, a curved column.
Supplied at 1200 × 600, 1200 × 2400, 1200 × 2800 and 1200 × 3000 mm. Bends to a 200 mm radius without cracking. Cut on site with a utility knife. Fire class EN 13501-1 A2-s1,d0 on a non-combustible substrate.
Fix with polymer adhesive, or mechanically on a ventilated frame for exterior work.
Eight variants in the range: vein cut, post cut and mosaic formats, plus Ocean Travertine in a cooler grey. Item code MBTRV.
