How thick is backlit stone?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

How is light able to pass through stone? Stone is usually thought of as solid, heavy and opaque. For backlit applications, it comes down to the way the material is selected and supported.

At Luminous Stone we work with real natural stone in refined, slim profiles that allow light to interact with stone material. This is what creates an illuminated effect while still maintaining the strength and structure required for architectural applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stone Thickness Explained<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Traditionally, stone slabs are often thicker and heavier which limits how much light can pass through them. For a backlit application, the stone is refined to a thinner profile. This is how light can interact with the material rather than being fully absorbed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A thinner profile is especially important with translucent stones, the thickness of the stone affects:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
