Product Details and Application Areas
Its body consists of balanced layers of warm beige, cream, and ivory tones. Its surface features the characteristic linear lines and porous stone appearance of vein-cut Italian and Turkish travertines. The natural matte surface texture brings the classic and organic warmth of travertine to modern architectural lines. Thanks to its giant 120×280 cm dimensions, it offers a fluid and seamless stone integrity on large walls, floors, and facades by eliminating the clutter of joints.
It is produced with a thickness of 6 millimeters. Problems such as open holes, crumbling, water absorption, and chemical reactions leading to wear, which are seen in real travertine stone, have been completely eliminated thanks to its porcelain body. With its low square meter weight, it can be applied directly to the exterior shell of buildings in mechanical installations, on luxury bathroom accent walls, and on movable furniture surfaces without imposing a static load on the system.
Application Options
- Interior Walls and Panels: Thanks to its 120×280 cm size, it creates the effect of a full-length monolithic travertine panel behind TV units, around fireplaces, in hotel lobbies, and reception areas. Its linear veins enhance the perception of ceiling height.
- Furniture Surfaces: With its 6mm thinness and lightness, it can be applied by adhering to island countertop panels, bathroom cabinet doors, and architectural table tops. It does not strain mechanisms and hinges.
- Facade and Flooring: It shows full resistance to frost, high temperatures, and direct sunlight (UV) rays. No fading or deformation due to external weather conditions occurs in the travertine pattern and beige background.
Advantages of Porcelain Material
- Liquid Repellency: Unlike real travertine, its pores are closed; acidic liquids, tea, coffee, or oil do not penetrate it. It does not require periodic filling (mastic) and protective polish (impregnation) applications.
- Heat Resistance: Since it is fired at high temperatures, it does not crack or expand upon direct contact with fire, high heat around fireplaces, or contact with hot pots.
- Easy Cleaning: The non-porous porcelain surface does not harbor dirt. It can be easily cleaned with standard neutral neutral cleaners and a damp cloth, maintaining its hygienic structure.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are travertine pores open-holed like real stone, and do they collect dirt?
No. The surface texture visually reflects the natural layers of travertine exactly, but the porcelain body is closed. Since there are no pits or open holes, it does not accumulate dirt and lime scale.
Does the 120×280 cm travertine slab adhere directly to existing floors or walls?
Yes. Thanks to its 6mm thinness, it is lightweight. After an adhesion-promoting primer is applied to the surface, old ceramic or marble coverings can be adhered directly over them without breaking.
Does the natural matte surface wear or scratch over time?
Porcelain slabs are brought to a high degree of hardness with industrial firing technology; they do not wear or scratch in heavy pedestrian traffic, friction, and daily contact.
