01 — BOND
Thermoplastic reinforcement and Spydercore layers are applied to both faces of the slab.
02 — PRESS
The Spyder splits the slab down the middle. Two panels, each with its own stone, Spydercore and backing.
The visible face. Real stone, split from the original slab by the Spyder. Shown here in white marble.
Pre-integrated into the honeycomb panel. Shown for illustrative purposes only.
A hexagonal cell structure that keeps the panel light and rigid.
Part of the honeycomb panel assembly. Shown for illustrative purposes only.
The reinforcement and backing layers are Thermoplastic instead of aluminum.
Reinforced, pressed and split in the same way, so every slab still becomes two slabs.
