Natural stone processing
Some natural marble slabs receive resin-bonded fibreglass mesh on the back. In a specified processing system, this backing helps reinforce the slab during handling and stone work.

How the backing works
Where the stone and process call for it, resin bonds a fibreglass mesh to the rear face of a natural marble slab. The mesh-backed system can help hold the slab together through handling and processing. Resin and mesh products are specified for natural-stone work, including epoxy systems.
Choose a compatible system
Stone type, mesh, resin or epoxy, surface condition and processing method all affect compatibility. Use the resin and mesh system selected by the slab manufacturer or processor, and follow its current technical instructions.
Support remains essential
Use properly designed frames and supports during storage, transport and fabrication. The installed slab still needs suitable substrate, fixing and full installation support for its size, layout and intended use.
Material enquiry
We supply materials for specified work; slab processing and installation remain with the appropriate stone specialist. Share the stone type, slab format and processor-approved system so we can discuss available supply options.
