Glass meets natural stone – innovation that connects
Great architecture begins with visionary materials and smart solutions
With our patented CLI-GlassStone bonding process, we offer an innovative solution for bonding raw slabs or finished parts made of marble, soft stone, onyx, opal, semiprecious stone, or petrified wood with glass. The highly transparent bonding with a protective glass surface imparts additional technical properties to these materials.
CLI-GlassStone
– superior to nature
This innovative adhesive technology, which bonds glass to stone over the entire surface without bubbles, gives your soft stone a durable protective layer. The underlying natural material is protected from scratches, stains, environmental influences, and other signs of wear. Unlike previous chemical impregnations, which often only provide water and grease repellent properties for a limited time, the CLI bonding process offers a durable, stable, and easy-care glass surface. Protect your new natural stone surfaces with real glass to enjoy the brilliance and deep structure in their natural color for a long time with low maintenance.
Discover the revolutionary cold liquid interlayer process for producing highly transparent, colorfast, and bubble-free surfaces on soft stone.
Compared to conventional film technology, which has limited applicability, we offer CO₂-reduced solutions with significantly better properties and customer benefits.
The CLI process opens up new fields of application, expanding the possible uses of stone for architects, building owners and for the construction and natural stone industry.
Only through CLI Technologies in Munich can you now have this specialized glazing service performed on your natural stone formats or raw slabs. Our services include single- and double-sided glazing, as well as the splitting process, which can also be performed on customer-supplied materials. Our service also includes customized post-processing using modern machines for one-offs or complete projects, as well as series or contract manufacturing.
We also offer customized solutions for applications requiring safety glass. Fire-resistant versions are also available to meet the specific requirements of your project.

Aesthetics carved in stone
– with CLI adhesive technology
Great architecture begins with visionary materials and smart solutions.
Our stone wall and stone ceiling cladding offers exactly that – a genuine natural stone look combined with the latest technology.
CLI adhesive technology opens up entirely new dimensions: It enables not only classic wall cladding, but also dimensionally stable overhead glazing made from natural stone composite – safe, elegant, and technically sophisticated. Depending on the selected stone type, these can be backlit across the entire surface without streaks, creating a fascinating interplay of texture, color, and light.
For projects where weight is a consideration, integrated honeycomb panels provide significant weight reduction while maintaining stability. This allows even large areas to be impressively showcased – without compromising on safety or design.
Whether it's a hotel, reception area, retail space, or exclusive living space: With this technology, we combine puristic elegance with high-tech – and turn natural stone into an experience.
Set standards in stone with us.
Art glass with natural stone inlays – material art in perfection
In a world where design meets innovation, impressive surfaces emerge that are far more than just decoration—they are expressions of character, elegance, and technical sophistication. This is precisely where our Art-Glass product concept with natural stone inlays comes in: an interplay of fine materials, artistic freedom, and sophisticated technology.
Thanks to advanced CLI bonding technology, natural stone and glass can be bonded seamlessly – permanently, precisely, and reliably. But it goes even further: This technology can also be used to combine a wide variety of materials, such as wood, metal, stone, or glass, to create unique surfaces. Depending on the design specifications, translucent or opaque compositions are created, which are then seamlessly sealed with a one-piece cover glass – for a homogeneous, flawless surface with depth and impact.
Depending on the type of stone used, streak-free backlighting can also be implemented, lending the room an atmospheric lighting effect. For even more creative freedom, special fittings can be integrated directly using the same adhesive process without visible screw connections—creating movable, functional, or interactive design elements.
The result: an exclusive design object that redefines the boundaries between architecture, art and technology.
Yacht glass with natural stone – exclusive aesthetics meets maritime engineering
In exclusive yacht construction, precision, aesthetics, and innovation are essential – down to the smallest detail. With our groundbreaking Yacht Glass with Natural Stone solution, we bring sophisticated materials into perfect harmony and create new design freedom at the highest level.
This is made possible by UV-stable CLI adhesive technology, which was specially developed for marine applications – both indoors and outdoors. Whether it's fine stone surfaces, transparent glass elements, high-quality woods, or metals, this technology allows for the permanent and reliable bonding of a wide variety of materials.
This creates elegant surfaces inside that encase structural elements such as struts, beams, and columns in a virtually invisible manner, seamlessly integrating them into the yacht's design concept. The system also offers a sophisticated solution for the exterior: The natural stone is recessed just a few millimeters from the edge and then filled with the highly transparent CLI Sea Adhesive – for maximum weather resistance, sealing, and protection against external influences.
Yacht-Glass also sets new standards in the area of all-glass design: lettering, coats of arms or logos can be individually, artistically and almost floatingly staged, while the combination with natural stone adds a unique depth and value.
Experience maritime interior and exterior design in its finest and purest form – with yacht glass, exclusively realized using CLI bonding technology.
