Product Details and Application Areas
Its body consists of harmonious layers of natural desert sand beige, light ivory, and soothing light grey tones. Its surface features distinct white crystal vein lines extending diagonally across the slab and hazy mineral transitions that delve deep into the stone. The polished (glossy) surface texture smoothly reflects ambient light, bringing a fresh, warm, and balanced architectural aesthetic to spaces. The giant 120×280 cm slab size minimizes joint lines in large floor and vertical wall applications, providing a monolithic natural stone flow.
It is produced with a thickness of 6 millimeters. Problems such as water absorption, staining, surface crumbling, and sensitivity to acidic cleaners, which are frequently seen in light-colored natural stones like sandstone and limestone derivatives, have been completely eliminated thanks to its sintered porcelain body. Due to its low weight per square meter, it can be directly applied to the exterior shell of buildings in mechanical installations, in vertical interior projects, and on 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 focal walls, in hotel and office lobbies, around fireplaces, and on main bathroom facades. The sand beige tones achieve perfect harmony with walnut wood panels, smoked glass, and anthracite metal profiles.
- Furniture Surfaces: Due to its 6mm thinness and lightness, it can be applied by adhering it to kitchen island sides, bathroom consoles, and architectural design tables. It does not strain supporting structures and rail mechanisms.
- Facade and Flooring: It is fully resistant to frost, severe temperature differences, and direct sun (UV) rays. No fading or yellowing occurs on its sand beige background and white crystal veins due to external environmental conditions.
Porcelain Material Advantages
- Liquid Repellency: Thanks to its non-porous structure, tea, coffee, oil, wine, and acidic cleaning chemicals do not penetrate the surface. It does not require annual protective polish or impregnation applications like natural stones.
- Heat Resistance: Since it is fired at very high temperatures, it does not crack or expand when exposed to direct flame, high heat around fireplaces, or contact with hot pots.
- Easy Cleaning: The glassy porcelain surface does not hold dirt or limescale. It is easily cleaned with standard neutral cleaners and a microfiber cloth.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the sand beige porcelain surface yellow over time?
No. Since porcelain’s water absorption rate is close to zero and it shows full resistance to UV rays, environmental yellowing seen in light-colored natural stones does not occur in this material.
Can the 120×280 cm slab be applied over existing cladding?
Yes. Due to its 6mm thickness, it is lightweight. After applying a suitable adhesion-enhancing transition primer to the surface, old ceramic or granite claddings can be directly adhered without breaking them.
Does the polished surface scratch easily with daily contact?
Porcelain slabs achieve high surface hardness through industrial firing technology. They show superior resistance to friction and scratches compared to natural marble and sandstones.
