TERACANTO, Porcelain Surface by LX Hausys

What is Porcelain?

Porcelain countertops are created from clay and fired in a kiln at extreme temperatures, giving it an advantage in heat resilience. Porcelain comes in an assortment of colors and patterns and is simple to clean and maintain. This durable, dense, lightweight surface repels moisture absorption and routine sealing is not required. A glaze, however, is advised to reduce permeability and boost durability.

WHY TERACANTO?

· Made with Natural Ingredients from the Earth

TERACANTO is a Porcelain Surface manufactured in Italy using the highest quality of 100% natural raw materials and minerals from all across Europe, which do not release micro particles.

• Feldspar (35%)
• Quartz (15%)

The raw material certified quarries are carefully selected to maintain quality control to provide slabs with timeless designs. The manufacturing process is meticulously controlled and monitored as it is produced with the Italian Sacmi machines.

· TERACANTO Slab Dimension

Thickness	Width	Height
1.2 CM, 2.0 CM	1,620mm (63 inch)	3,240mm (126 inch)

· Bookmatch Colors

TERACANTO’s versatility makes it an ideal solution for horizontal or vertical applications for either indoor and outdoor design projects. Applications can range from countertops and showers to statement walls, exterior cladding and more. Following TERACANTO colors can be bookmatched to offer even greater visual design interest:

• Calacatta Gold (1.2 cm)
• Calacatta Extreme
• Statuario Bianco

· Thru Vein Technology

TERACANTO Calacatta Gold 2 cm is offered with Thru Vein Technology. This is the newest thru body technology with a clear definition of the veins moving through the entire full size slab. This new technology is an innovation in the industry and will make the slabs look more natural.

· Surface Finish

TERACANTO colors are available with different finishes to fullfill a wider range of aesthetics.

· POLISHED FINISH:

The Polished Finish is obtained through a progressive mechanical grinding process that uses micro-abrasive materials with decreasing granularity to create a perfectly reflective surface. The Polished Surface is recommended for cladding applications, countertops, and for the production of various types of furnishing elements. The special polishing process makes the surface highly reflective. The removal of part of the material accentuates the surface microporosity, making the product more susceptible to staining. All of the Polished Surfaces require the use of non-abrasive tools during the cleaning phase in order to prevent the finished surface from scratching and from taking on a more matte appearance.

· SATIN FINISH:

The Satin Finish is the perfect synthesis between aesthetics and functionality. The surface is perfectly smooth and soft to the touch, with a controlled and homogeneous opacity that enhances the graphic development of the slabs. The complete absence of structure maximizes cleaning capacity and daily maintenance. The slabs are recommended for cladding applications and for decor finishes, but not for floor applications.

· MATTE FINISH:

The Matte Finish is characterized by a light surface structure that enhances stone finishes and allows for obtaining a friction coefficient suitable for floor applications. The structure of the slab remains soft and easy to clean. Its transversal nature makes it suitable for a wide range of applications.

· Features and Benefits

Featuring superior strength and durability, TERACANTO is an ultra-compact, lightweight material that is non-porous and safe for food contact. Easy to maintain, it is resistant to heat, scratches and chemical absorption. Due to its organic composition, TERACANTO, unlike other surface products, is completely UV resistant; its colors will not fade or become altered by the sun, atmospheric agents or smog.
