Superior Porcelain Structure and Advanced Technical Specifications

Sahara Noir porcelain tiles are produced as BIa class (low water absorption) full porcelain bodies by pressing under high pressure and firing in kilns above 1200°C. Due to its non-porous internal structure, it is stain-resistant and unaffected by moisture and water. Its structure, which shows full resistance to freezing and thermal shocks, makes the product safe to use in both interior floor and wall applications and protected exterior cladding.

Application and Maintenance Guide

Thanks to its rectified edge structure, it can be laid with extremely thin grout lines such as 1.5 mm to 2 mm. The use of thin grout allows the marble pattern on the surface to be perceived as a seamless slab. It is recommended to use high-performance, flexible (C2TE S1 class) porcelain tile adhesives during installation. To strengthen the pattern flow on the surface, the application should be carried out by paying attention to the arrow directions on the back of the tiles.

Daily cleaning is quite practical. It is easily cleaned with neutral pH general surface cleaners and a microfiber mop. Acidic, fluoride compounds, or abrasive powder cleaners should not be preferred in order to protect the structure of the glossy glazed surface.
