Product Details and Areas of Use
Its body is inspired by the fascinating patina effect that time and atmospheric conditions create on metals. It consists of emerald-toned sage green, oxidized turquoise, and zinc tones, sprinkled with red corrosion rust and aged copper stains. Its matte and slightly mineral-embossed natural surface softly absorbs light without reflecting it, giving spaces a bold, loft, biophilic, and avant-garde architectural identity. The giant slab size of 120×280 cm minimizes joint lines in vertical and horizontal coverings, creating a monolithic patinated zinc/copper panel effect.
It is produced with a thickness of 6 millimeters. Corrosion wear, green rust runoff into the environment, acid and fingerprint stains, and surface blackening, which are inevitable in real copper, brass, and zinc sheet coverings, 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 monolithic panel effect on focal walls behind TVs, main reception counters in restaurants and cafes, fireplace surrounds, and bathroom facades. The oxide green tones create a perfect contrast with anthracite aluminum frames, solid walnut furniture, and brass lighting.
- Furniture Surfaces: With its 6mm thin and lightweight structure, it can be applied by adhering to island counter side panels, console covers, and architectural design tables. It does not strain supporting hardware and rail mechanisms.
- Facade and Flooring: It is fully resistant to frost, severe temperature differences, and direct sun (UV) rays. No fading, blackening, or color change occurs in the patinated green and rust textures due to external environmental conditions.
Porcelain Material Advantages
- Liquid Repellency: Unlike real metal sheets, it is non-porous. Oil, coffee, wine, acid, and calcareous water do not penetrate the surface, leaving no permanent stains. It does not require rust-protective varnish or polish.
- Heat Resistance: Since it is fired at very high temperatures, it maintains 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
Do patina and corrosion patterns shed green rust or dust into the environment?
No. The oxide and rust effects are sintered as an integral part of the porcelain structure. Unlike real metals, it does not shed rust, dust, or leave color.
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 without breaking them.
Does the matte green oxide surface scratch with daily contact?
Porcelain slabs achieve high surface hardness through industrial firing technology. Compared to real copper or sheet metal, they show superior resistance to scratches and abrasions.
