remarked:
The stone panels are mostly produced in Italy and Norway. *Large stone
blocks are very carefully quarried so they come out square. *Then the
blocks - usually either granite or marble - are precision sawn using
large diameter diamond-tipped circular saws. *The thickness is
typically a couple of centimetres, but the finished job often looks as
though it is made of solid granite or marble that is tens of
centimetres thick.


So its is actual stone, just very thin?


Not much different to floor tiles (applied to the wall).
