LITHOCELL® Natural Stone – MA4
MA4 is a sandwich panel with a cosmetic finish consisting of a thin marble slab (4 mm). It has an aluminium honeycomb core and skins made of glass fibre fabric. It is obtained by gluing a marble finish slab to a panel without finish such as the RAWCELL® Fiber panel (bonding performed by external marble workers, our partners, customers). Main fields of application: construction, furniture, shipbuilding, lifts.

FIELDS OF APPLICATION | ||||||||
Typical applications for the LITHOCELL® Natural Stone - MA4 panel include building façades, interior design and lift systems. |
STORAGE | ||||||||
The LITHOCELL® Natural Stone - MA4 panel is a product in the “semi-finished products” category and therefore is subject to further processing; we recommend storing the panels horizontally in a closed and dry environment, possibly away from heat sources and to support them along their edges. |
