Stonewood is a beautiful, solid, strong material that is ideal for either horizontal or vertical surfaces where strength and appearance are both important.

Stonewood is used for decorative wall panels, lockers, laboratory and office furniture, medical equipment carts, x-ray tables, work surfaces, fixtures, ergonomic keyboard platforms, tablet arms, cutting boards and any application requiring strength, rigidity, durability, moisture resistance and decorative appeal.

Its high strength to weight ratio allows Stonewood to be used in place of plywood, particleboard, fiberboard or other wood products. Stonewood panels maintain their dimensions and can be fabricated with standard wood-working tools. The material can be attached with screws or adhesives and is water and mold resistant. Stonewood can be sanded on both sides to improve adhesion in composite applications.

Manufacturing Process

Stonewood is a thermally fused material comprised of multiple sheets of FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified kraft fiber paper. These kraft papers can be virgin or 100% recycled. To produce Stonewood, Fiberesin impregnates the raw core kraft sheets with phenolic resins that are then cured. The treated papers are then hot pressed, fusing the layers into a solid panel. Stonewood does not emit formaldehyde, is resistant to burning, and can support significant weight without breaking.

Self Edging

While traditional edge treatments can be used, Stonewood can be easily fabricated to be self-edging. Minimal sanding and polishing creates an attractive edge that is visually and tactilely pleasing (insert finished edge pictures). Stonewood is economical since no additional edge treatment is required.

Colors, Patterns and Woodgrains

Stonewood is available in an endless variety of solid colors, patterns, wood grains, stones, or marbles. It is also available in solid bright white with a white core. Real wood veneers are available as well. In addition to our standard stock colors, the standard Wilsonart color palate is available as well. The Stonewood core material is available in Black, Slate, or Leather.

Custom Graphics

In addition to numerous colors and woodgrain options, Fiberesin’s unique custom graphics capabilities makes it possible to fuse any artwork, photograph, original image, or logo directly into the panel surface making it virtually impervious to moisture, abrasion, and stains.

Stonewood Natural

Stonewood Natural is a recycled product that is designed to be earth-friendly, durable, renewable and beautiful. It is a solid “color through” material with no laminate or surface veneer. If the surface were to get marred or scratched, it can be rejuvenated to like new condition by sanding.

Working with Stonewood

Fabrication options are unlimited. Stonewood can be shaped, cut, drilled, routed, tapped, or sanded (Fiberesin has full fabrication capabilities in-house). With its superior stability, Stonewood holds inserts, brackets, fasteners, or specialty hardware with outstanding screw retention.

Size and Thickness

Stonewood is available in 4’ x 8’ panels in thicknesses between ¼” to 1 1/8”. Custom thicknesses are also available.
