What are thin porcelain slabs?
Bordignon's large format porcelain slabs are leading the world of tile with the most advanced technology to produce thin porcelain slabs which are the new generation of tile for interiors and exteriors. These panels are produced at 6mm to allow the most flexibility to be used in every application. Being self-cleaning, non-porous, etch and scratch resistant there is no routine maintenance required to care for your surface like waxes and sealers. By combining the beauty of natural stone with the brilliance of porcelain, Bordignon is able to bring one product to the design and architect world that can be used in any application from kitchen countertops and backsplashes, to feature and shower walls in both residential and commercial properties. Large format porcelain gives you infinite solutions for anywhere a stunning surface is desired whether it be the exterior cladding of a tower or a vanity in boat or RV. Eliminate grout lines and maximize the beauty of natural stone with the peace of mind of durable porcelain slabs from Bordignon.
What are the benefits over other stones?
Green, natural, safe, Bordignon's' large format porcelain slabs are produced at the state of the art Graniti Fiandre porcelain factory in Italy where highly advanced equipment combines natural materials in a unique manufacturing process to create a high-tech lightweight porcelain slab. Offering designer and architects unprecedented design flexibility, Fiandre porcelain panels are made 100% from natural material such as clay, sand, quartz, feldspar and recycled content with zero use of toxic resins or chemical agents used in other stone products.
Sustainable because of what isn't in them.
No sealants, waxes, epoxies, man-made binders or artificial colouring agents are used that could add harmful VOC off-gassing after installation. Being anti-bacterial and self-cleaning, bacteria and mold cannot subside in the pits and fissure of natural stone making porcelain one of the most hygienic surfaces available.

Self Cleaning

Active™ Clean Air and Antibacterial Ceramic Bordignon Porcelain Panels can be specified with Active™ Clean Air and Antibacterial Ceramic to create a self cleaning tile application. This is a patented productive process used to manufacture ECOACTIVE ceramic tiles and surfaces with anti-pollutant and antibacterial properties.
A technically advanced photocatalytic material, Active Clean Air & Antibacterial Ceramic™ makes it possible to use materials that make an active contribution to creating a better atmosphere and a cleaner environment. The photocatalyst activates and accelerates the reaction degrading pollutants in the air, but its particles, though involved in the oxidation process, are not consumed so that the titanium dioxide’s action remains the same over the years. During the photocatalytic reaction, pollutants in the air are broken down by titanium dioxide, oxygen, moisture and light into forms which are not harmful to the health. Fixing of TiO2 onto ACTIVE Clean Air & Antibacterial Ceramic™ tiles at high temperatures (around 700 C°) also makes the surface of the tiles highly resistant to scratching due to tread, even with intense traffic, guaranteeing a long-lasting photocatalytic effect. Active™ is embedded and fused into the panel at manufacturing stage, so it will not lose its effectiveness over the lifespan of the product. Use of Active™ Active™ Clean air and Antibacterial Ceramic treatment is incredibly effective for inside and outside use and is suitable for applications in wide variety of fields including residential, commercial and public building projects where hygiene is particularly important including hospitals and schools.
