Product Details and Application Areas
Its body consists of an avant-garde layering of raw concrete grey, anthracite, reddish corten rust, and burnt copper tones. Its surface features wear marks of industrial aged steel plates, trowel-finished plaster transitions, peeled metal textures, and subtle mustard/gold linear strokes. The matt and slightly embossed natural surface texture absorbs light, giving the space a loft, brutalist, and bold architectural identity. The giant 120×280 cm slab size minimizes joint lines in vertical and horizontal coverings, offering a seamless rusty steel wall effect.
It is produced with a thickness of 6 millimeters. Structural disadvantages frequently encountered in real corten steels and oxidized metals, such as rust bleeding into the environment, corrosion-induced decay, liquid absorption, and surface flaking, have been completely eliminated thanks to its sintered porcelain body. 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 seamless monolithic panel effect on TV-back focus walls, in cafes and restaurants, around fireplaces, and on bathroom facades. Corten rust tones create a perfect contrast with anthracite aluminum profiles, smoked glass, and solid dark wood.
- Furniture Surfaces: With its 6mm thin and lightweight structure, it can be applied by adhering to island countertop side panels, bathroom consoles, and architectural design tables. It does not strain supporting structures and hinges.
- Facade and Flooring: It is fully resistant to frost, severe temperature differences, and direct sunlight (UV) rays. No fading or color loss occurs in rust and oxide patterns due to outdoor conditions.
Porcelain Material Advantages
- Liquid Repellency: Thanks to its non-porous structure, acidic liquids, oil, water, and chemicals do not penetrate the material. It does not require protective polish or anti-rust varnish like real metallic surfaces.
- Heat Resistance: Since it is fired at very high temperatures, it does not crack or lose its form when exposed to direct flame, high heat around fireplaces, or hot pot contact.
- Easy Cleaning: The non-porous porcelain surface does not retain dirt or limescale. It can be easily cleaned with standard neutral surface cleaners and a damp cloth.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the oxide and rust-effect surface bleed paint or rust into the environment?
No. Metallic and corrosion textures are integrated into the porcelain body and sintered at high temperatures. Unlike real metals, it does not bleed rust, dust, or leave color.
Can the 120×280 cm slab be applied over existing cladding?
Yes. Due to its 6mm thickness, it is very light. After applying a suitable adhesion-enhancing primer to the surface, old ceramic or granite claddings can be directly adhered without breaking them.
Does the matt textured surface scratch with daily contact?
Porcelain slabs achieve high surface hardness through industrial firing technology. They show superior resistance to scratches and abrasions compared to real sheet metal or natural stones.
