Product Details and Application Areas
Its body is inspired by the noble elegance of Italy’s classic Perlino Bianco marble and Spanish Crema Marfil stone. On a homogeneous background of light ivory, soft pearl, and bone tones, micro-limestone sediments, tiny fossil traces, and very subtle calcite veins are present. Its natural matte surface absorbs light without glare and diffuses it homogeneously, bringing a serene, fresh, Mediterranean, and timeless luxury to spaces. The giant slab size of 120×280 cm minimizes grout lines in vertical and horizontal coverings, offering a seamless natural stone block effect.
It is produced with a thickness of 6 millimeters. The inevitable reactions with acidic substances, etching, absorption of coffee/wine stains, lime scale accumulation, and periodic impregnation/polishing maintenance requirements seen in real limestone and beige marbles have been completely eliminated thanks to its sintered porcelain body. Due to its low square meter weight, it can be directly applied to the exterior shells of buildings in mechanically ventilated facade systems, vertical interior projects, and movable furniture surfaces without imposing static load on the system.
Application Options
- Interior Walls and Panels: Thanks to its 120×280 cm size, it provides a monolithic panel effect on TV-back focus walls, in hotel and office lobbies, around fireplaces, and on main bathroom facades. Its light ivory and beige tones create a perfect architectural balance with walnut/oak woods, anthracite trims, and brass details.
- Furniture Surfaces: With its 6mm thin and lightweight structure, it can be applied by gluing to island countertop side panels, bathroom consoles, and architectural design tables. It does not strain supporting hardware and rail mechanisms.
- Facade and Flooring: It is fully resistant to frost, severe temperature changes, and direct sunlight (UV) rays. No fading, yellowing, or color loss occurs on its light ivory surface due to external environmental conditions.
Advantages of Porcelain Material
- Liquid Repellency: Unlike real beige marbles, it is non-porous. Coffee, tea, oil, wine, and acidic cleaning agents do not penetrate the surface, leaving no permanent stains.
- Heat Resistance: Since it is sintered at very high firing temperatures, it maintains its form against direct flame exposure, high heat around fireplaces, and hot pot contact, without cracking.
- Easy Cleaning: The non-porous porcelain surface does not harbor lime, mold, or bacteria. It is easily cleaned with standard neutral cleaners and a damp microfiber cloth.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do micro-fossil and limestone textures create roughness or indentations on the surface?
No. Thanks to porcelain technology, the characteristic texture of natural stone is processed onto the surface as visual depth; the surface is non-porous, smooth, and dirt-repellent.
Can the 120×280 cm slab be applied over existing cladding?
Yes. Due to its 6mm thickness, it is quite light. After applying a suitable adhesion-enhancing transition primer to the surface, old ceramic or granite claddings can be directly glued over them without breaking.
Do light cream/ivory tones yellow or darken over time?
Since porcelain has near-zero water absorption and full resistance to UV rays, yellowing or soot accumulation issues caused by external factors, as seen in natural stones, do not occur.
