Product Details and Areas of Use
Its body consists of mineral layers of deep graphite, charcoal black, and smoky dark anthracite tones. Its surface features a prominent white crystal vein running diagonally like a lightning bolt across the slab, surrounded by frosty micro-crack patterns. The glossy (polished) surface enhances the sense of depth on the dark background, giving spaces a dramatic, powerful, and prestigious architectural identity. The giant 120×280 cm slab size minimizes grout lines in vertical and horizontal applications, offering a monolithic and seamless natural marble effect.
It is produced with a thickness of 6 millimeters. Problems such as surface dullness, hairline cracks, lime scale accumulation, and staining due to reaction with acidic liquids, which are frequently observed in dark natural marbles, have been completely eliminated thanks to its porcelain structure. Due to its low weight per square meter, it can be directly applied to mechanical systems of building facades, 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 panel effect on TV-back focus walls, hotel and office lobbies, fireplace surrounds, and main bathroom facades. The white veins on the black background create a perfect contrast with walnut furniture, brass, and anthracite metal profiles.
- Furniture Surfaces: With its lightweight 6mm structure, it can be applied by adhering it to kitchen island sides, bathroom consoles, and architectural design tables. It does not strain supporting structures and hinges.
- Facade and Floor: It is fully resistant to frost, severe temperature differences, and direct sunlight (UV) rays. No fading or color change occurs in its deep black background or white vein lines due to external environmental conditions.
Porcelain Material Advantages
- Liquid Repellency: Thanks to its non-porous structure, coffee, oil, acidic liquids, and calcareous water do not penetrate the material. It does not require annual impregnation or polishing maintenance like natural marbles.
- Heat Resistance: Since it is fired at very high temperatures, it maintains its form against direct flame exposure, high heat around fireplaces, and contact with hot pots, without cracking.
- Easy Cleaning: The glassy porcelain surface does not harbor dirt or stains. It can be easily cleaned with standard neutral cleaners and a microfiber cloth.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the black glossy porcelain surface scratch easily?
Porcelain slabs have achieved high surface hardness thanks to industrial firing technology. They are much more resistant to friction and scratches compared to natural black marbles.
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-enhancing primer to the surface, old ceramic or granite claddings can be directly adhered without breaking them.
Does dark porcelain fade in the sun on exterior facades?
No. The UV (sunlight) resistance of porcelain is at the highest level. No fading of the black color or yellowing of the white veins occurs on exterior facades or in areas exposed to abundant sunlight.
