Many of the slim porcelain tile ranges are the result of the latest technology, the 300 by 100 centimetre tiles have a thickness of just 3mm and are constructed using a porcelain stoneware mixture composed of high quality clay and raw materials. Pressed using roller kiln technology giving it incredible tensile strength, flexibility and durability. The roller kiln process transfers the stress, allowing the product to be cut and shaped with less opportunity to fracture/break.

The traditional thickness of large format porcelain tiles meant that there used to be a number of design challenges due to the sheer weight of the tiles and installation was a labour intensive process. However the new thin large format tiles are ideal for floors or walls in commercial or residential buildings and can even be installed over existing tiling. The thin design of the tiles also means that they can easily be cut using standard glass cutting equipment to any design specification.

Clean simple lines are complimented in a host of natural colours and wood effects, or for a more dramatic design the metallic tones of copper, titanium and white create a striking environment.
