Portofino Dark Grey Concrete Look Full Body Matte Porcelain Tile 60x120 cm

A Contemporary Interpretation of Raw Concrete: Portofino Dark Grey 60x120 cm

The industrial aesthetic at the heart of modern architecture is reshaped with Portofino Dark Grey. This exclusive product, a standout in the Concrete Series collection, brings the natural texture and urban character of raw concrete into your living spaces. The blended color transitions in dark gray and anthracite tones, combined with the micronized aggregate granular texture on the surface, add depth and an authentic feel. Thanks to its Matt surface finish, it creates a serene and prestigious atmosphere by diffusing light reflections and preventing eye strain.

Maximum Durability with Full Body Porcelain Technology

Portofino Dark Grey does not just offer a visual feast; it is also produced with high-engineering Full Body Porcelain technology. The color, pattern, and raw material structure on the tile surface maintain the same homogeneity throughout the entire body of the product (down to the base). Thanks to this special production technique, even deep impacts or wear that may occur over time do not compromise the visual integrity of the tile surface. It provides wear resistance far beyond standard ceramics for commercial areas with heavy foot traffic, airports, shopping malls, hotel lobbies, and restaurants.

Technical Performance and Standard Values

Produced in full compliance with international ceramic and porcelain tile standards (TS EN 14411 Group BIa), Portofino Dark Grey extends the lifespan of your project with its technical specifications:

• Water Absorption Rate (ISO 10545-3): Below 0.05% (E ≤ 0.05%). Thanks to its near-zero water absorption capacity, it is 100% resistant to frost, moisture, and water accumulation.
• Bending Strength (ISO 10545-4): With a high breaking resistance of ≥ 45 N/mm², it does not crack under heavy loads and intense circulation.
• Breaking Load (ISO 10545-4): Load-bearing capacity of 2000 N and above.
• Deep Abrasion Resistance (ISO 10545-6): Has a value of < 135 mm³, completely eliminating issues such as glaze peeling or color fading.
• Scratch Hardness (MOHS Scale): With a 7 MOHS hardness rating, it offers superior surface protection against metal objects, shoe friction, and heavy use.
• Stain Resistance and Chemical Resistance (ISO 10545-13/14): Class 5 stain resistance and full resistance to household chemicals, acids, and bases. It is stain-resistant and easy to clean in areas where hygiene is a priority, such as kitchens and bathrooms.
• Slip Resistance Value: With its R10 matt surface structure, it offers safe walking comfort on wet floors.

Flexible Architectural Application and Usage Areas

Its large-format 600x1200 mm (60x120 cm) modular form minimizes grout lines in spaces, allowing you to achieve more spacious, seamless, and expansive-looking surfaces. Thanks to its laser-cut rectified edge structure, it can be laid with perfect alignment using a minimum grout interval of 1.5 - 2 mm. It has excellent thermal conductivity compatibility with underfloor heating systems.

Its usage areas are quite extensive:

• Interior Floor and Wall: Living rooms, hallways, bathrooms, kitchen floor and wall coverings.
• Commercial and Public Spaces: Stores, offices, cafes, restaurants, and hotel concepts.
• Exterior Facade and Outdoor: Ventilated facade cladding systems, covered terraces, and balconies.

Cleaning and Maintenance Tips

Thanks to its Full Body matt porcelain structure, it does not require special maintenance or polishing. For daily cleaning, the use of neutral detergents and water is sufficient. Issues such as polish stains or limescale buildup, often seen in glazed ceramics, do not occur on its matt and high-density surface. It preserves its natural appearance with its original vibrancy for decades.
