I recently had the chance to check out what I think is one of the latest and coolest products in stone applications. These two products are called Thin Slate and Forza Stone. The Thin Slate comes in sections as big as 2' x 4' and can acutally bend like a roll of formica, but it is
real slate. The Forza Stone is about 3/8" thick but only about less than 1/4" is actually stone. Forza Stone comes in larger slabs/panels so it makes installation a lot quicker. I
have actually seen a guy standing on a Forza Stone slab suspended over his truck bed, so they are durable. Both have the potential to contribute to leed points for green building and are very cost effective. For the most part these products use a rubber backing, though Forza Stone uses aluminum as well. They are largely used in wall applications both residential and commercial. Both products are sold exclusively through IMC,
http://www.imcstone.com/ and then purchased through fabricators. They look to have the makings of a brand new market.
