We love FINA! We decided to go with a local family business for our stone panel project and came across this incredible company out of Wilmington. From the initial consultation to the final installation, the professionalism and attention to detail were exceptional. The quality and detail was outstanding and really highlighted the craftsmanship of the company. The team was knowledgeable and provided the perfect insight into our project. I highly recommend them and look forward to future projects with this amazing family business. Thank you, FINA!

Very professional and helpful staff. Wide selection and timely delivery.
FINA stone panels are a lightweight natural stone veneer system that offer the beauty of natural stone without the weight and brittle properties associated with thick, heavy slabs. With a 2 cm [3/4”] thick stone slab, we can produce two (2) lightweight stone panels. This unique process reduces the number of slabs required for the project almost in half, saving natural resources and reducing carbon emissions.
What is the weight of the panel?
FINA stone panels weigh only 3.5 pounds per square foot, about 80% less weight than a 1” thick dimensional stone slab. These lightweight stone panels can reduce the structural backup requirements, shipping, installation equipment and labor costs. In addition, the honeycomb backer provides superior impact resistance and flexural strength.
Do you have a selection of standard stones?
We carry a few standard types of limestone and marble. Most, if not all, natural stone slabs available in the marketplace can be processed into FINA stone panels. Our technical team can assist with trends and budget costs for your potential project.
How large of a panel can be produced?
Large panel sizes of 4’x8’, 5’x8’, 4’x10’ and 5’x10’ can be produced, depending on the available slab sizes.
What stone finishes are available?
The selection of stone finishes can depend on the application and the stone type. In general, the stones and finishes below can be applied. Not all finishes are suitable for exterior applications.
Limestone: honed, polished
Granite: honed, polished, brushed, antiqued, thermal
Marble: honed, polished, brushed, antiqued, thermal
Travertine: filled, unfilled, honed, polished
Can these panels be used on building exteriors?
Yes, lightweight natural stone panels have been in place on building exteriors for more than 40 years. Standing the test of time, these stone panels are the best solution for providing the beauty of natural stone without the weight.
Are these panels used as countertops?
Yes, these panels can be the perfect solution when natural stone is desired, but weight is an issue in applications that include yachts and cruise ships, aircrafts, and motor coaches.
What makes our panels unique?
