A short fiber reinforced artificial stone laminate comprising a top layer of particulates of substantially a single size between 0.5 mm and 3 mm, short fibers deposited in grooves between the particulates, a rear layer of long reinforcing fibers backing the particulates and the short fibers, and a binder is provided. A method for manufacturing the short fiber reinforced artificial stone laminate is also provided. Particulates, for example, quartz particulates, are deposited on a release surface. Short fibers, for example, short glass fibers, are deposited in grooves between the particulates. The particulates and the short fibers are vibrated, whereby the short fibers align and position themselves in the grooves. Long reinforcing fibers are then deposited on the particulates. A binder is deposited for binding the particulates, the short fibers, and the long reinforcing fibers. After the binder cures, the surface of the particulates is polished. |
