Faux Marble Sheets for Walls
Faux marble sheets for walls are suitable for a wide variety of exciting potential applications. Here are some of them.
Marble Walls in History and Today
Architects and builders have used marble on walls to stunning effect for centuries. The interior Georgia marble walls and columns of Temple Square, Utah’s historic State Capitol Building are among the world’s finest examples of such use.
Unfortunately, weight restrictions and budget limitations make use of marble slabs virtually impossible in many buildings due to the sheer weight and price of natural stone. This is where faux marble panels come in.
Faux Marble Sheets for Walls
Created using the latest solid surface techniques and technologies, faux marble is lightweight and flexible, yet incredibly robust and stunningly beautiful. What’s more, faux marble wall panels cost a fraction of natural stone – making it possible to create stunning interior designs without worry about weight restrictions or budget limitations.
Potential Applications
Available in standard panel sizes or cut to specific dimensions, faux marble sheets can be used to create gorgeous focal points within any room; turn a drab entrance lobby/reception area into a welcoming space sparkling with warmth and beauty or line the corridors of a hotel with elegance and style.
