Product Details and Application Areas
Its body is inspired by the texture of cast concrete, a symbol of brutalist architecture. On a homogeneous background created by light cement grey, ash, and stone grey tones, there are horizontal linear vein marks left by wooden formwork boards on the surface and organic micro-aggregate pore effects. Its natural matte surface absorbs light without glare, giving the space a contemporary, industrial, serene, and brutalist loft identity. The giant 120×280 cm slab size minimizes joint lines in vertical and horizontal coverings, offering a seamless cast concrete wall effect.
It is produced with a thickness of 6 millimeters. Problems such as dusting, water/moisture absorption, staining, lime efflorescence, and surface abrasion, which are frequently encountered in real raw concrete surfaces, have been completely eliminated thanks to its sintered porcelain structure. Due to its low square meter weight, it can be directly applied to the exterior shell 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 concrete panel effect on focal walls behind TVs, in hotel and modern office lobbies, on fireplace facades, and main bathroom surfaces. The light grey concrete texture creates a perfect contrast with anthracite aluminum trims, black metal components, and warm oak/walnut woods.
- Furniture Surfaces: With its 6mm thin and lightweight structure, it can be applied by adhering to island counter side panels, wardrobe bodies, and architectural design tables. It does not strain supporting components and hardware.
- Facade and Floor: It is fully resistant to frost, severe temperature differences, and direct sunlight (UV) rays. No color change, fading, or darkening due to outdoor conditions is experienced in its concrete grey tones.
Porcelain Material Advantages
- Liquid Repellency: Unlike real concrete, it is non-porous. Oil, coffee, tea, wine, and acidic cleaners do not penetrate the surface and leave no permanent stains. It does not require protective polish or impregnation.
- Heat Resistance: Since it is fired at very high temperatures, it retains 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 does not dust. It is easily cleaned with standard neutral surface cleaners and a damp microfiber cloth.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do formwork lines and concrete pores collect dust or dirt on the surface?
No. The concrete and wood formwork texture is integrated into the porcelain surface as visual depth; the surface is non-porous and does not accumulate dust or dirt like real concrete.
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-promoting transition primer to the surface, old ceramic or granite claddings can be directly adhered over it without breaking them.
Is the matte grey surface resistant to scratches?
Porcelain slabs are brought to high surface hardness with industrial firing technology. They show superior resistance to abrasion, impact, and scratching compared to real plastered concrete surfaces.
