Product Details and Areas of Use
Its body consists of balanced layers of warm beige, cream, and ivory tones, indispensable in classical architecture. Its surface features the characteristic horizontal/vertical linear flow of vein-cut Italian and Turkish travertines. The natural matte surface texture brings the classic and organic warmth of travertine to modern spaces. With its giant dimensions of 120×280 cm, it offers a fluid and seamless stone integrity on large walls, floors, and facades by eliminating the clutter of joints.
It is produced with a thickness of 6 millimeters. Problems such as open holes, crumbling, water absorption, and blackening due to chemical reactions, which are frequently seen in real travertine stone, have been completely eliminated thanks to its non-porous sintered porcelain body. With its low square meter weight, it can be applied directly to the exterior shell of buildings in mechanical installations, on luxury bathroom accent walls, 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 creates the effect of a full-length monolithic travertine panel behind TV units, around fireplaces, in hotel lobbies, and in reception areas. When its linear veins are used vertically, it enhances the perception of ceiling height.
- Furniture Surfaces: With its 6mm thinness and lightness, it can be applied by adhering it to kitchen island countertop panels, bathroom cabinet doors, and architectural design tables. It does not strain supporting mechanisms and hinges.
- Facade and Floor: It shows full resistance against frost, high temperatures, and direct sunlight (UV) rays. No fading or deformation due to external weather conditions occurs on its beige background and travertine lines.
Porcelain Material Advantages
- Liquid Repellency: Unlike real travertine, its pores are completely closed; acidic liquids, tea, coffee, or oil do not penetrate it. It does not require periodic filling (mastic) and protective polish (impregnation) applications.
- Heat Resistance: Since it is fired at high temperatures, it does not crack or expand against direct fire contact, high heat around fireplaces, and hot pot contact.
- Easy Cleaning: The non-porous porcelain surface does not harbor dirt or lime. It can be easily cleaned with standard neutral cleaners and a damp cloth, maintaining its hygienic structure as if new.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are travertine pores open like real stone, do they fill with dirt?
No. The surface texture visually reflects the natural layers of travertine one-to-one, but the porcelain body is completely closed. Since there are no pits or open holes, it does not accumulate dust, dirt, or lime.
Does the 120×280 cm travertine slab adhere directly to an existing floor or wall?
Yes. Thanks to its 6mm thinness, it is lightweight. After an adhesion-enhancing transition primer is applied to the surface, it can be directly adhered over old ceramic or marble coverings without breaking them.
Does the natural matte surface wear out or scratch over time?
Porcelain slabs achieve a very high surface hardness degree through industrial firing technology; they do not wear out in daily contact, cleaning, and friction, and show maximum resistance to scratches.
