Product Details and Usage Areas
Its body consists of ivory, light cream, sand beige, and subtle gold/amber hues of Brazilian Taj Mahal quartzite, one of the most sought-after natural stones in luxury architecture. Its surface features soft crystal vein lines that flow and layer across the slab, along with hazy mineral transitions that create a sense of depth. The glossy (polished) surface treatment reflects light with perfect optical clarity, bringing both brightness and serene palatial elegance to spaces. The giant slab size of 120×280 cm eliminates the clutter of joints (grout lines) in vertical and horizontal coverings, providing a seamless natural stone flow.
It is produced with a thickness of 6 millimeters. Issues commonly encountered with real Taj Mahal quartzite and light-colored exotic stones, such as liquid absorption, oil staining, dulling with acidic cleaners, and the need for regular impregnation polishing, 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 mechanical facade installations, 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 focal walls, in hotel and office lobbies, around fireplaces, and on main bathroom facades. Its ivory tones perfectly complement natural oak, walnut furniture, and brass metal details.
- Furniture Surfaces: Thanks to its 6mm thinness and lightness, it can be applied by gluing to kitchen island sides, bathroom cabinet doors, and architecturally designed dining tables. It does not strain supporting hardware and rail mechanisms.
- Facade and Flooring: It is fully resistant to frost, severe temperature differences, and direct sunlight (UV) rays. Fading or yellowing due to external environmental conditions does not occur on its light ivory base and golden quartzite veins.
Porcelain Material Advantages
- Liquid Repellency: Thanks to its non-porous structure, acidic liquids such as tea, coffee, oil, wine, and lemon do not penetrate the material. It does not require periodic impregnation protection like natural quartzite stones.
- Heat Resistance: Since it is fired at very high temperatures, it retains 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 limescale. It can be effortlessly made hygienic with standard neutral surface cleaners and a microfiber cloth.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do quartzite vein lines create roughness or indentations on the surface?
No. Thanks to porcelain production technology, the 3D vein depth seen in the visual is embedded beneath the 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 claddings without breaking them.
Does the light-colored porcelain surface yellow over time?
Since porcelain’s water absorption rate is close to zero and it shows full resistance to UV rays, yellowing caused by external factors, as seen in natural light-colored stones, does not occur in this material.
