Product Details and Usage Areas
Its body consists entirely of pure white tones. Its surface features extremely fine crystalline vein transitions that are easy on the eye. A Pulido (glossy) polishing process has been applied. Thanks to its giant dimensions of 120×280 cm, it provides a monolithic and smooth 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 liquid absorption, staining, and calcification, which are encountered over time in natural white marbles, do not occur in this product thanks to its non-porous porcelain structure. With its low square meter weight, it can be directly applied to the exterior shell of buildings, interior wall projects, and movable furniture covers without imposing a static load on the system.
Application Options
- Interior Walls and Panels: Thanks to its 120×280 cm size, it allows for jointless cladding in elevator lobbies, lobby walls, TV units, and bathroom feature walls. Its pure white color makes the space appear much brighter than it is.
- Furniture Surfaces: Thanks to its 6mm thinness and lightness, it can be adhered to kitchen island sides, bathroom cabinets, and luxury table tops. It does not add weight to supporting rail and hinge mechanisms.
- Facade and Flooring: It is fully resistant to outdoor conditions (frost, high heat, direct UV sunlight). No fading or yellowing occurs in its pure white color due to external factors.
Advantages of Porcelain Material
- Liquid Repellency: Thanks to its non-porous surface, tea, coffee, oil, or acidic liquids do not penetrate the material. It does not require periodic surface protective (impregnation) application like natural marbles.
- Heat Resistance: Since it is produced by firing at very high temperatures, it does not expand or crack upon direct contact with fire or hot containers.
- Easy Cleaning: Since its surface does not stain, heavy and abrasive chemicals are not needed. It can be easily wiped with warm water and standard surface cleaners.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the white porcelain surface yellow over time?
No. Since porcelain’s water absorption rate is close to zero and it is fully resistant to sun (UV), yellowing caused by external factors, which is seen in light-colored natural stones, does not occur in this material.
Can the 120×280 cm slab be adhered over existing cladding?
Yes. Since its thickness is 6mm, it is lightweight. It can be applied directly over old tiles or marble by applying an adhesion-enhancing primer to the surface, without the need for breaking or excavation.
Does the Pulido (Glossy) surface scratch easily?
Since porcelain surfaces are fired and hardened at high temperatures during production, they are much more resistant to scratches compared to natural stones. Its polish does not dull with daily contact.
