At Aurastone, we prioritize quality, durability, and innovation in every product we create. Our Aurastone Thin Stone Veneers are carefully engineered to deliver exceptional performance while offering the natural beauty of stone in a lightweight format. To ensure they meet the highest standards, our veneers undergo rigorous testing based on international quality benchmarks.
The following summarizes the key results of the test report for Aurastone Thin Stone Veneers:
The material exhibits an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, making it ideal for both interior and exterior applications. With an average thickness of 2–5 mm, these veneers retain the authentic texture and appearance of natural stone while offering ease of handling, cutting, and installation. Despite their ultra-thin profile, they demonstrate high durability and structural stability under varied environmental conditions.
Water absorption tests conducted as per ISO 10545-3 standards reveal that the veneers have a low absorption rate of less than 1.5%, making them highly resistant to moisture penetration and suitable for humid or wet areas. Additionally, thermal expansion testing confirms that the veneers perform reliably across temperature fluctuations, maintaining their bond strength and surface integrity without warping or cracking.
Surface hardness tests, following MOH’s Scale standards, place Aurastone Thin Stone Veneers between 5–6, ensuring good scratch and abrasion resistance for everyday wear and tear. In flexural strength testing, the veneers successfully meet and exceed minimum industry requirements, showcasing their ability to withstand applied loads without fracture.
UV exposure simulations demonstrate that the veneers maintain their color stability and surface properties even after prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, ensuring long-term aesthetic performance in outdoor applications. Fire resistance tests classify the Aurastone Thin Stone Veneers under a low flammability category, enhancing safety in various architectural settings.
In terms of adhesion properties, when used with recommended adhesives, the thin veneers achieve outstanding bond strengths, both on vertical and horizontal surfaces, with no significant delamination observed under accelerated aging conditions.
Overall, Aurastone Thin Stone Veneers meet or exceed key international benchmarks for physical, mechanical, and aesthetic performance. They are designed to deliver long-lasting beauty, flexibility in application, and peace of mind to architects, designers, and builders.
