Confirm the application

Lock down where the panel is going: wall, ceiling, riser, or millwork. Each application has slightly different substrate and access requirements that should be agreed before slab selection. Document the location on the architectural drawings, not just the lighting plan.

Stone selection and color temperature

OnyxEon ships with cool white (6000–6500K) lighting that crisps the veining and reads modern. Choose the stone family with the lit appearance in mind, since some slabs read very differently backlit than they do in showroom light. Request a specification sheet to confirm panel performance for your application.

Coordinate trades early

Bring electrical, drywall, and millwork into one short coordination meeting before construction begins. Confirm driver location, low-voltage wiring path, and substrate prep. This single meeting prevents most field surprises.

Frequently Asked

Questions on this topic.

What information do you need from me to start a quote?
Application, panel quantity and approximate dimensions, stone preference, and color temperature. Drawings help but aren't required for an initial quote.
Do you provide CAD details for the spec set?
We provide a specification detail sheet (PDF) suitable for inclusion in your construction documents. We do not provide CAD details.
Can OnyxEon panels be value-engineered out late in a project?
They can, but they shouldn't be. The install savings versus traditional 2cm stone usually mean OnyxEon is the value-engineered option already.
