Benefits of utilising large format sintered porcelain;
- Waterproof: Its extremely low porosity makes it impervious to water absorption and resistant to stains, making it ideal for wet locations.
- UV Resistance: Colours do not fade away when exposed to sun light or other extreme weather conditions.
- Resistant to High temperatures: Non-combustible and does not emit smoke or toxic substances when subjected to high temperatures.
- Resistance to wear and tear: Its hard surface makes it resistant to scratches and abrasions.
- Bending resistance: It has a high shear rate, making it resistant to heavy loads and pressure.
- Environmentally friendly: The stone is composed entirely of natural material making it completely recyclable.
- Easy To Clean: Resistant to most chemical cleaning agents such as bleach or ammonia - making it easy to clean graffiti or pollutants from exterior cladding.
- Hygienic: Extremely low porosity prevents the growth of bacteria or fungus which may lead to allergies or illnesses.
- Optimized energy consumption: Resistance to extremely high and low temperatures makes it ideal for ventilated façades. The thermal insulation and ventilation between the stone façade and the building itself optimizes the building’s energy consumption considerably.
Please note: Colours, finishes, sizes, thickness and quantities are subject to availability at the time of procurement.
