While using stone in wet areas is by no means a new application, the use of stone can be constrained by cost and porosity. In wet areas stone such as marble can be susceptible to staining and discolouration over time, due to use of cleaning products and build up of personal products such as lotions and creams. This can be avoided by laminating the stone to glass, and using the glass as the outer layer, however this process adds additional time, weight, and cost.

Additionally, the use of printed glass eliminates grout in wet areas, relying only on minimal silicone joins between panels. This seamless finish contributes to a high aesthetic outcome, however is also highly practical - cleaning and maintenance associated with mouldy and discoloured grout is eliminated
