Product Details and Usage Areas
Its body consists of an elegant harmony of sophisticated mink, earth beige, and smoky greige tones. Its surface features the characteristic vertical linear layers and flowing sedimentary patterns of vein-cut natural travertine stone. The natural matte surface texture absorbs ambient light without reflection, giving spaces a serene, modern, and extremely warm architectural depth. The giant 120×280 cm slab size eliminates the clutter of joints (seams) in vertical and horizontal coverings, providing a seamless, monolithic stone flow.
It is produced with a thickness of 6 millimeters. Structural problems frequently encountered in porous natural travertine stones, such as the shedding of pit fillers, water absorption, calcification, and staining by acidic liquids, have been completely eliminated thanks to porcelain technology. Due to its low square meter weight, it can be directly applied to the exterior facade shell of buildings with mechanical installation, in vertical interior wall projects, and on 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 focal walls behind TVs, in hotel and office lobbies, around fireplaces, and on bathroom facades. When its linear veins are used vertically, it enhances the perception of ceiling height.
- Furniture Surfaces: With its 6mm thinness and lightness, it can be applied by gluing to kitchen island sides, bathroom cabinet doors, and architectural table tops. It does not strain supporting components and mechanisms.
- Facade and Floor: It is fully resistant to frost, high temperatures, and direct sunlight (UV) rays. No color change or fading occurs on its mink background and travertine lines due to external weather conditions.
Porcelain Material Advantages
- Liquid Repellency: Unlike real travertine, its pores are completely closed; tea, coffee, oil, and acidic cleaning agents do not penetrate the surface. It does not require periodic filling (mastic) and impregnation protection.
- Heat Resistance: Since it is fired at very high temperatures, it maintains its structure against direct fire contact, high heat around fireplaces, and hot pot contact, and does not crack.
- Easy Cleaning: The non-porous porcelain surface does not retain dirt or limescale. It can be easily cleaned with standard neutral cleaners and a damp cloth.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do travertine lines create open holes or pits on the surface?
No. The linear texture offers visual depth; the porcelain body is completely closed-pored. Since there are no pits or open holes, it does not accumulate dust, dirt, or limescale.
Does the 120×280 cm slab adhere to existing cladding?
Yes. Due to its 6mm thickness, it is lightweight. After an adhesion-enhancing primer is applied to the surface, old ceramic or granite claddings can be directly glued over it without breaking them.
Does the matte travertine surface darken or stain over time?
No. Since porcelain’s water absorption rate is close to zero, unlike natural travertines, it does not absorb water or stains; it preserves its color and texture as it was on the first day.
