Product Information

Full details

The Lite Stone Copper Metal Veneer Sheet is designed for interior designers, homeowners, and DIY enthusiasts looking to add a high-impact, contemporary metallic finish to walls and furniture. Its key benefit is offering the look of metal with the ease of installation of a flexible veneer. A significant caveat is its unsuitability for wet areas or exterior applications. This product features a textured, reflective copper finish derived from crushed metal pigment and resin, backed by fiberglass and resin for lightweight durability, making it simpler to handle and apply than traditional metal sheeting.

FAQs

Can this veneer be used in a bathroom?

No, this product is not suitable for wet areas such as shower walls or areas with constant high humidity due to the nature of the metal pigment and resin construction.

What kind of adhesive should I use?

We recommend using the specific adhesives sold in our Adhesive, Sealer & Accessories collection, designed to work optimally with this metal veneer.

How thick is the metal veneer sheet?

The thickness ranges between 2mm and 4mm.

Can I install this on a textured wall?

For best results, the substrate should be smooth and flat. You may need to prepare or skim the wall before application if it has significant texture.

How do I clean the copper metal veneer?

Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. For tougher spots, use a mild, diluted soap solution and wipe dry immediately.

Is the copper finish prone to tarnishing?

The finish is designed for interior use and is protected by resin and sealant. However, like any metal finish, prolonged exposure to certain environmental factors could affect its appearance over time. Regular cleaning and sealing are recommended.

Can I apply this over existing tiles?

Yes, you can apply it over tiles, provided the tile surface is clean, smooth, and well-adhered. Using a tile backer board over the tiles first can provide a more stable and level surface.

Troubleshooting

Veneer not adhering properly

Ensure the substrate is properly prepared (clean, dry, smooth). Use the correct amount and type of Lite Stone adhesive. Ensure even pressure is applied during installation and that the adhesive has sufficient time to cure.

Air bubbles trapped under the veneer

Attempt to gently push bubbles towards the edge using a soft cloth or a squeegee before the adhesive fully cures. If cured, carefully puncture the bubble with a fine needle and press down.

Difficulty cutting the material

Use a sharp utility knife or heavy-duty shears. Make multiple passes with a knife for a cleaner cut. Ensure the material is well-supported during cutting.

Surface appears dull or lacks shine

The finish might require cleaning or re-sealing. Use a damp cloth to clean, and if necessary, reapply a compatible sealer from the Lite Stone range.
