Product Details and Usage Areas
Its body consists of balanced tonal transitions of deep smoked, graphite, and dark anthracite tones. Its surface features the characteristic scattered, thin white mineral veins and subtle cloudy shadows of the famous Brazilian Negresco quartzite. The natural matte surface texture absorbs light, giving spaces a serene, masculine, and architectural depth. The giant 120×280 cm slab size eliminates the clutter of joints in vertical and horizontal coverings, offering a monolithic natural stone appearance.
It is produced with a thickness of 6 millimeters. Problems such as fingerprint retention, acid burns, lime scale accumulation, and absorption issues due to porous structures, frequently observed in dark natural quartzites and marbles, have been completely eliminated thanks to its sintered porcelain body. Due to its low square meter weight, it can be directly applied to building facades, striking interior wall panels, and furniture coverings without imposing static load on the system.
Application Options
- Interior Walls and Panels: Thanks to its 120×280 cm size, it provides a seamless monolithic panel effect behind TV units, on fireplace claddings, in lobby reception walls, and on luxury bathroom facades. The anthracite color creates a perfect contrast with light wood, brass, and anthracite metal profiles.
- Furniture Surfaces: With its 6mm thinness and lightness, it can be applied by adhering to kitchen island sides, bathroom consoles, and architectural table tops. It does not strain supporting structures and rail mechanisms.
- Facade and Flooring: It is fully resistant to frost, severe temperature differences, and direct sunlight (UV) rays. Fading or dulling due to external factors is not observed in its dark anthracite base and white vein lines.
Porcelain Material Advantages
- Liquid Repellency: Thanks to its non-porous structure, acidic liquids (lemon, vinegar), coffee, wine, and oil do not penetrate the surface. It does not require periodic impregnation protection like natural stones.
- Heat Resistance: Since it is sintered at very high temperatures, it maintains its structure against direct flame exposure, pot contact, and thermal shocks, and does not crack.
- Easy Cleaning: The non-porous porcelain surface does not retain dirt or lime scale. It maintains its original texture by wiping with standard neutral cleaners and a microfiber cloth.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does dark matte porcelain retain fingerprints or stains?
No. Thanks to its non-porous and silky matte surface technology, unlike natural stones, it does not trap oil or handprints; it can be easily wiped clean with a neutral detergent.
Will the 120×280 cm slab adhere to existing cladding?
Yes. Thanks to its 6mm thinness, it is lightweight. After applying an adhesion-enhancing primer to the surface, it can be directly adhered over old ceramic or granite coverings without breaking them.
Does the anthracite color fade in the sun on exterior facades?
The UV (sunlight) resistance of porcelain is at the highest level. No fading in the anthracite tone or color change in the white veins will occur on exterior facades or in areas exposed to intense sunlight.
