As architectural decoration materials continue to evolve, Flexible Stone (MCM) is redefining how walls express themselves. Made primarily from modified inorganic mineral composite and formed through a specially controlled thermoforming system, curing, and irradiation cross-linking, it is a flexible, low-carbon architectural finishing material-. With a thickness of just 2-4mm and a weight of only 3-8kg per square metre – less than one-fifth of traditional tiles and one-tenth of natural stone- – Flexible Stone is transforming the way we think about wall coverings.
At OlinMat, we have distilled the infinite possibilities of Flexible Stone into six signature texture series: Slate, Travertine, Rammed Earth, Dacite, Hemp Weave, and Bamboo Weave. Each texture represents a distinct spatial mood; each product tells a story about materiality.
I. Slate Series | Order Within the Rugged
Slate is born from millions of years of geological transformation. The Flexible Stone Slate series precisely reproduces the layered textures and weathered traces of natural slate – each piece features naturally colours, none identical, every tile a landscape painting in itself-. Run your fingers across the surface and you'll feel a slightly rough yet warm texture – not the coldness of ceramic tiles, nor the garishness of printed stone imitation.
The Slate series is thin, lightweight, and flexible, significantly reducing building loads while adapting flexibly to various complex structural requirements-. It is ideal for hotels, office buildings, shopping malls, and other commercial spaces, as well as high-end architectural settings such as bars, villas, and restaurants-. Walls adorned with Slate exude a cultural charm and natural ambiance.
II. Travertine Series | The Holes of Time, the Breath of Architecture
Travertine is a chapter in the art history of nature and architecture. Natural travertine is renowned for its unique porous structure – pores scattered with rhythm, concave and convex in harmony – a masterpiece carved by nature over millions of years. Yet natural travertine is loose in texture, highly absorbent, and poor in weather resistance, limiting its application in high-rise buildings.
OlinMat's Flexible Stone Travertine series perfectly solves this dilemma. It inherits the raw elegance of natural travertine in a low-carbon, flexible form – replicating not only the irregular natural pores but also the artistic texture of both cross-cut and vertical-cut finishes-. At just 2-4mm thick and weighing only 3-5kg per square metre, it offers 40%-60% cost savings over natural travertine-. Its micro-porous structure provides both waterproofing and breathability – blocking liquid water penetration while allowing water vapour to escape, preventing substrate mould-. Ideal for interior and exterior walls, column cladding, archway applications, and particularly suited for renovation projects and irregular architectural forms-.
III. Rammed Earth Series | The Warmth of Earth, the Substance of Modernity
Rammed earth is one of humanity's oldest building techniques – earth pounded solid into walls, cool in summer and warm in winter, rustic and substantial. But traditional rammed earth is heavy, rough, and difficult to standardise. OlinMat's Flexible Stone Rammed Earth series reinterprets this ancient material language through modern craftsmanship – preserving the warm texture and granular tactility of rammed earth while overcoming its weight and roughness.
Each finished panel is 2-4mm thick and weighs just 3-6kg per square metre-. Its inherent flexibility allows for superior wall conformity and curved applications, including arches and Roman columns-. With strong impermeability, it effectively responds to various indoor temperature and humidity changes, while offering excellent sound insulation and thermal retention-. Suitable for residential feature walls, commercial spaces, offices, bars, and clubs.
IV. Dacite Series | Starry Texture, Moonlit Serenity
Dacite is a natural volcanic extrusive rock, renowned for its fine grey tones and delicate star-like speckled texture. OlinMat's Flexible Stone Dacite series faithfully replicates this natural lithology – with the natural grey tones and fine starry speckles of dacite, appearing from a distance like mountains bathed in moonlight, while up close revealing a fine matte finish-. Run your fingertips across it and you'll feel subtle grain – not the coldness of glazed surfaces, but the warm, breathing texture of rock-.
The Dacite series inherits all the lightweight and flexible properties of Flexible Stone, at just 2-4mm thick and weighing only one-third of traditional tiles-. With excellent flexibility, it can bend around 200mm-diameter columns without cracking, meeting the cladding requirements of curved walls, arched columns, and other irregular architectural forms-. Ideal for feature walls, beauty salons, hotels, showrooms, and other interior spaces that pursue a serene and premium aesthetic-.
V. Hemp Weave Series | The Warmth of Fabric, the Softness of Walls
Hemp weaving is one of humanity's oldest textile crafts. The rustic, breathable, and warm quality of hemp brings a sense of natural relaxation to any space. OlinMat's Flexible Stone Hemp Weave series introduces the texture of this traditional craft into architectural finishing – featuring the warp-and-weft interlacing of hemp weave, rough yet warm, with textures that shift subtly with light, like a dried grass plain rustled by the wind.
The Hemp Weave series is lightweight,intelligently breathable, and in expressive quality-. It perfectly reproduces the natural texture of hemp weave, fabric, and other woven materials-. Ideal for boutique hotels, tea houses, cultural venues, designer studios, and other spaces that pursue a natural, rustic atmosphere, and commonly used in renovation projects to clad load-bearing columns and arched ceilings-.
VI. Bamboo Weave Series | A Modern Translation of Eastern Aesthetics
Bamboo is one of the spiritual symbols of Eastern culture. Bamboo weaving embodies centuries of craftsmanship, wisdom, and aesthetic sensibility. OlinMat's Flexible Stone Bamboo Weave series integrates the woven texture of bamboo and the natural form of bamboo joints into architectural finishing – capturing both the ordered interweaving of bamboo weave and the warm quality of bamboo itself.
The Bamboo Weave series possesses all the core advantages of Flexible Stone: lightweight, flexible, Class A fire-rated, and weather-resistant (-40°C to 90°C). Ideal for neo-Chinese style spaces, tea houses, hotels, cultural buildings, and other venues that pursue Eastern aesthetic expression.
