International wall covering manufacturer, Dixon Turner Interior Surfaces has added another superb set of products to its ever expanding portfolio. Dixon Turner are proud to be the exclusive UK suppliers of Decostone, a product from Swiss company Decolan. Decolan have been leading suppliers of HPL and other decorative surfaces for over 20 years. They have a dedicated R&D department, and select only the most cutting edge and innovative finishes to become a part of their product range. Decostone is supplied in 1220 x 610mm sheets with larger sheets available on selected slates. Thanks to the polyester resin and fiberglass that is applied to the back of the stone sheets, Decostone is flexible (similar to a laminate) and can be easily fitted to curved surfaces such as pillars and wall. The changing colours, vivid patterns and unique textures combine to make each sheet a feast to the eyes. Each of the 16 different varieties available have their very own individual beauty in look and texture, showing a unique design that is both classic and modern. With no two sheets ever the same, each Decostone application is special and distinctive.

This real split stone is waterproof, fire retardant and environmentally friendly. The veneers are split into thickness of 1.0 – 2.0mm from large real stone slabs, capturing a natural array of patterns and colours, making each sheet a unique creation of Mother Nature. Each sheet is extremely lightweight, weighing just over 1.5KG per m2, allowing a real stone finish to applications that would be nearly impossible with traditional stone.

Decostone provides an aesthetically inspiring finish. It’s a fantastic choice for feature walls, executive suites, grand receptions and spas. Hard wearing and incredibly durable, the stone can be used outdoors for exterior wall cladding as well as indoors, allowing designers to ensure a contemporary theme runs throughout all areas of a building. It is not just an innovative product, but an ideal choice for a world class finish and an eye catching result, which will both inspire and stimulate.

Dixon Turner have chosen to be the exclusive supplier to this beautiful range of products in the UK, offering fantastic customer service, technical support and specialist advise for this fashionable and stand out décor that is set to take the interiors world by storm.
