STONE + ALUMINUM HONEYCOMB COMPOSITE TILE
ARIA by La Maison dei Marmi originates when the incomparable beauty of natural stone meets the incredible strength and lightness of aluminum honeycomb or fiberglass.
The material is aesthetically identical, up to 50 times stronger and 4 times lighter than full body 2cm stone, calibrated, rectified, easier to handle and install, and more uniform in terms of color and pattern variation.
The result is a better product for a fraction of the price of full stone.
ARIA by La Maison dei Marmi is also the perfect solution to explore new frontiers in stone decoration and customized patterns, for those who want an unique and luxurious feeling from their walls.
With its 2-2.5 yeld of raw material, compared to standard full body marble, ARIA is also more eco friendly than regular stone.
