Back Lit Slabs

When selecting slabs and enhancing them with lighting, you have two options, to shine lighting onto the surface, or light the surface from behind, a term we call backlit. Any translucent slab can be backlit, either entirely or only in specific areas.

Natural stone slabs are absolutely beautiful. If you’re looking for a modern look or simply a luxurious feel to your home design, look no further, choosing a translucent slab would add the final touch you are in search of. Onyx and natural quartz sections that occur in certain marbles, quartzites, and agate, allow for pockets of light to seamlessly flow through the slab translucent and vibrant, developing a unique work of illuminated art. Agate and composite natural stone clusters adhered together offer exquisite specimens that with some design skill can be enhanced with lighting. Translucent onyx panels are backlit in hotels and restaurants around the world, though the beauty need not be limited to commercial areas. Your home design can be customized not only with texture and color though with lighting, also.

Your countertops, bar, vanity, wall accent, tabletop or retail display space could have an added natural warm glow when designed with a translucent back lit slab.
