Product Details and Application Areas
Its body consists of deep layers of clear ivory, light pearl, and crystal white tones that draw light in. Its surface features characteristic translucent rock blocks of Patagonia quartzite, one of the world’s rarest and most dramatic stones, interspersed with smoky graphite/fumé mineral veins and warm amber fractures. Its polished (glossy) surface adds optical depth to the environment by diffusing light; it gives spaces a jewel-like, sculptural, and ultra-luxurious architectural identity. The giant 120×280 cm slab size minimizes grout lines in vertical and horizontal coverings, offering a monolithic natural work of art panel.
It is produced with a thickness of 6 millimeters. The high risk of fragility, lime scale retention, dulling upon reaction with acidic liquids, and the need for regular impregnation, which are frequently encountered in real Patagonia quartzite and onyx stones, have been completely eliminated thanks to its sintered porcelain body. With its low square meter weight, it can be directly applied to the exterior shell of buildings in mechanically ventilated facade systems, in vertical interior projects, 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 provides a monolithic panel effect on TV-back focal walls, in hotel and office lobbies, around fireplaces, and on main facades of luxury bathrooms. The ivory and smoky grey tones create a perfect contrast with walnut furniture, brass details, and anthracite metal profiles.
- Furniture Surfaces: With its lightweight 6mm structure, it can be applied by gluing to island countertop side panels, bar counters, and architectural dining tables. It does not strain supporting structures and mechanisms.
- Facade and Flooring: It is fully resistant to frost, severe heat fluctuations, and direct sunlight (UV) rays. No fading or color loss occurs on its light ivory base and smoky mineral veins due to external environmental conditions.
Porcelain Material Advantages
- Liquid Repellency: Thanks to its non-porous crystallized body, tea, coffee, oil, wine, and acidic cleaning agents do not seep into the surface. It does not require regular protective polish or impregnation like natural quartzite stones.
- 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 containers, without cracking or expanding.
- Easy Cleaning: The glassy porcelain surface does not retain dirt or lime scale. It is easily cleaned with standard neutral cleaners and a microfiber cloth.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do the quartzite blocks and veins create roughness or indentations on the surface?
No. Thanks to porcelain production technology, the 3D depth perception in the visual is encapsulated beneath a glassy glaze layer; the surface is completely smooth and polished, and does not accumulate dirt.
Can the 120×280 cm slab be applied over existing cladding?
Yes. Due to its 6mm thickness, it is lightweight. After applying a suitable adhesion-enhancing transition primer to the surface, it can be directly glued over old ceramic or granite coverings without breaking them.
Does light ivory polished porcelain yellow over time?
Since porcelain’s water absorption rate is close to zero and it exhibits full resistance to UV rays, external yellowing seen in natural light-colored stones does not occur with this material.
