Porcelain ideal solutions
Large format porcelain slabs are engineered, oversized ceramic sheets—often reaching up to 160×320 cm or larger—designed to provide a nearly seamless, monolithic, and luxurious surface for walls, floors, and worktops.
Manufactured by pressing refined clay and minerals at extremely high temperatures, these slabs are dense, non-porous, and highly durable, offering a versatile, low-maintenance alternative to natural stone, concrete, and wood, with added resistance to stains, heat, and UV light.
Material Characteristics
- Composition: Refined clay, sand, and natural minerals, compacted and fired at high temperatures (over 1200°C), making them vitrified, dense, and impermeable.
- Dimensions & Thickness: Commonly found in sizes up to 1600x3200mm, with thicknesses usually ranging from 6mm to 20mm. Thinner 6mm panels are typically used for walls, while 12mm-20mm are better for high-impact horizontal surfaces like kitchen worktops.
- Design & Aesthetic: Available in various finishes, including polished, matte, and textured, designed to simulate materials like marble, concrete, and metal with high-resolution realistic patterns.
Key Advantages
- Seamless Look: Fewer grout lines create an uninterrupted, modern, and expansive aesthetic.
- High Durability & Strength: Scratch-resistant, abrasion-resistant, and capable of withstanding heavy loads, suitable for high-traffic areas.
- Hygienic & Low-Maintenance: Non-porous surface means they are resistant to stains, bacteria, and mold, and do not require sealing.
- Weatherproof: Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use due to resistance to frost, temperature changes, and UV rays, preventing fading or damage.
- Versatility: Ideal for kitchen worktops, bathroom vanities, feature walls, flooring, and exterior facades.
Common Applications
- Kitchen & Bathroom: worktops, splashbacks, and vanity tops due to heat and moisture resistance.
- Feature Walls & Cladding: Large, uninterrupted surfaces for living areas and bathrooms.
- Flooring: Both indoor and outdoor, offering high-traffic resistance.
- Furniture: Custom-made furniture tops.
