Product Details and Usage Areas
Its body consists of an architectural balance of sophisticated titanium grey, smoky taupe, and deep ash tones. Its surface features characteristic Turkish cut (vein-cut) horizontal sedimentary layers of Italian silver travertine (Silver Travertine), light grey calcite vein transitions, and mineral depths creating a slight pore illusion. Its natural matte surface softly absorbs light, lending a masculine, sculptural, and contemporary brutalist aesthetic to spaces. The giant 120×280 cm slab size minimizes joint lines in vertical and horizontal coverings, offering a seamless natural stone block effect.
It is produced with a thickness of 6 millimeters. The open-pored spongy texture, water and lime absorption, erosion by acidic liquids, and the need for periodic sealant, which are frequently encountered in real silver travertine stones, have been completely eliminated thanks to its sintered porcelain body. With its low square meter weight, it can be directly applied without imposing static load on the system in mechanically ventilated facade systems on the exterior shell of buildings, in vertical interior projects, and on movable furniture surfaces.
Application Options
- Interior Walls and Panels: Thanks to its 120×280 cm size, it provides a monolithic stone panel effect on focal walls behind TVs, in hotel and office lobbies, around fireplaces, and on main bathroom facades. Its titanium grey tones create a perfect contrast with black matte metal profiles, smoked glass, and solid walnut furniture.
- Furniture Surfaces: With its 6mm thin and lightweight structure, it can be applied by adhering to kitchen island sides, bathroom cabinet doors, and architectural dining tables. It does not strain supporting structures and rail mechanisms.
- Facade and Flooring: It is fully resistant to frost, severe temperature differences, and direct sunlight (UV) rays. No fading or color loss occurs in smoked and titanium tones due to outdoor conditions.
Porcelain Material Advantages
- Liquid Repellency: Unlike real travertine, it is non-porous. Coffee, tea, oil, wine, and acidic cleaning agents do not penetrate the surface and leave no permanent stains.
- Heat Resistance: Since it is sintered at very high firing temperatures, it retains its form against direct flame exposure, high heat around fireplaces, and hot pot contact, without cracking.
- Easy Cleaning: The non-porous porcelain surface does not harbor lime, mold, or bacteria. It is easily cleaned with standard neutral cleaners and a damp microfiber cloth.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are there open holes or pores in the travertine texture?
No. Thanks to porcelain production technology, the layered lines of travertine are processed as visual depth; the surface is non-porous, completely smooth, and dirt-repellent.
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 transition primer to the surface, old ceramic or granite claddings can be directly adhered over it without breaking them.
Does the matte titanium grey surface scratch with daily contact?
Porcelain slabs have achieved high surface hardness through industrial firing technology. They exhibit superior resistance to abrasion and scratches compared to natural travertine and limestone.
