MMYTHS TO DEBUNK, APPLICATIONS AND AESTHETICS THE ADVANTAGES OF PORCELAIN LARGE FORMAT, MYTHS TO BE DEBUNKED CONCERNING PORCELAIN LARGE FORMAT SIZES
Large Format Porcelain combine the quality of the aesthetic finish with the compactness of ceramic material and do not present, in spite of their large size, any critical issues with regard to handling or transport, cutting (or perforation) and installation.

1. Worktops
Undoubtedly, worktops must be scratch and stain resistant, easy to clean and durable over time. Thanks to its technical properties and the variety of textures and finishes it offers, large-format stoneware is widely used on kitchen and bathroom counters, living room and study tabletops and in open-plan offices for large meeting tables with multiple workstations.

2. Strength
The 6 mm thickness of the large format tiles is the ideal solution for maintaining resistance to breakage and to flexion similar to traditional porcelain: the reduced thickness does not make the slab more fragile, but more flexible, ensuring the typical resistance of porcelain to perforation, impacts and tractions.

3. Aesthetics
The large format tiles aids the reinterpretation of natural materials, offering a design product that is dedicated to contemporary architecture's specific needs, constantly in search of compositional solutions that will best enhance projects and enable designers to operate with maximum freedom of expression without sacrificing the technical/functional performance of the porcelain materials.

4. Transport and installation
Porcelain stoneware is almost always lighter and can be moved more easily. For handling, it is advisable to use suction cups and take a few small precautions: make sure the back of the slab has been well cleaned and apply a double adhesive coating (back + support) to avoid air gaps.

5. Cutting
The technology used to manufacture large format enables a strong and flexible product to be obtained, capable of supporting cutting and perforating being carried out with the appropriate tools. Additionally, in the case of sharp or irregular edges, these can be refined with sandpaper or diamond hand pads.

6. Installation
The best manufacturers offer training services on how to easily handle and install large format tiles in complete safety. Installers can operate professionally using the acquired techniques and by equipping themselves with the appropriate tools.
