Panels made from stone/solid surface material
Hi all.
I am planning a sideboard piece with a carcass structure using frame and panel design. I want the panels to be made from a translucent white(ish) material with the look of a smooth natural stone -- think alabaster. However, I understand that true stone such as marble would be much too fragile in the thickness range (1/4 - 3/8") that I would need for floating panels. Does anyone have any other suggestions? Is 1/4" Corian translucent enough that it lets light shine through? I have also considered frosted glass but think it might allow too much light and have that green look. Any other suggestions (and sources for materials) are much appreciated. I am open to both natural and engineered products. Best regards, /afb |
