Frequently asked questions
Short answers to the questions we hear most often from architects, contractors and investors.
What is stone veneer?
It is an ultra-thin layer of real stone — slate, quartzite, marble, sandstone or limestone — taken from a rock block and bonded to a flexible backing. The surface is 100% stone, and the sheet is 0.6–2.3 mm thick.
How is it different from a stone slab or sintered stone?
A stone slab is usually 15–30 mm thick, weighs several dozen kilograms per square metre and cannot be bent. Veneer weighs up to 20 times less, bends around arches and columns, and is installed with adhesive, without anchors or structural reinforcement. Unlike quartz surfaces and laminates, it is real stone, not a print.
Where can I use it?
Walls and ceilings, furniture and fronts, doors, columns, fireplaces (keeping a distance from the heat source), backlit bars and reception desks (Lumina) and facades (Fusion, Lumina, 3D Fusion on mesh).
Is it suitable for outdoor use?
Yes — the Fusion and Lumina lines and 3D Fusion on mesh are resistant to UV, frost and high temperatures. Eco Fusion and Eco Lumina (on fabric) are intended for dry interiors only.
Can I install it myself?
3D Fusion panels with an adhesive layer are designed for self-installation. For larger areas and for the Fusion and Lumina lines, we recommend an experienced contractor. We always provide installation guidance and help with choosing the adhesive.
What substrates can it be bonded to?
Concrete, ceramic tiles, wood, plywood, MDF, plasterboard, metal, fibreglass and painted surfaces — after cleaning, dusting and degreasing.
Does every sheet look the same?
No. It is natural stone — colour, shade and pattern vary between sheets and batches. For large areas we select sheets from a single batch; on request, sheets can be matched for continuity of pattern.
How do I care for veneer?
Vacuuming and occasional washing with water and mild soap are enough. Avoid abrasives, aggressive chemicals and pressure washers. Outdoors and in wet areas, we recommend re-sealing after 7 years.
What sheet formats are available?
From the warehouse in Jasło: 122 × 61, 122 × 244 and 122 × 305 cm (the Eco Lumina collections without 122 × 305). We order other formats from the Casadenza range on request. 3D Fusion panels measure 15.24 × 60.96 cm. We confirm format availability in the quote.
How much does it cost and how do I order?
Prices are quoted net per sheet, depending on the collection and format. Send an enquiry with the chosen design and area — we will prepare a quote, lead time and delivery information from the warehouse in Jasło.
Can I buy veneer as a private customer?
QUC sells only to businesses: distributors, showrooms, contractors, investors and design studios. As a private customer, you can buy Casadenza from our partner — at a showroom or from a distributor — or through the architect or contractor running your project. Write to us and we will point you to where to buy in your region.
Do you offer customisation?
Yes — depending on the collection, non-standard dimensions, thicknesses and made-to-order projects are possible, e.g. mosaics and inlaid panels.
How long is the warranty?
10 years against material and manufacturing defects, including delamination from the backing. Details on the warranty page.
