Frequently Asked Questions
About Porcelain Panels/ Slabs
What are the differences between Random, Bookmatch and Continuous Bookmatch styles?
Random slab designs are exactly as you would assume, random designs and patterns that are not intended to form into a single cohesive design.
Bookmatch slab designs are intended to be installed in a mirror image of the opposite piece.
Continuous Bookmatch slab designs are multiple pieces that, when installed together, create a large flowing mirrored image design pattern.
How do I know if I can use a porcelain panel or slab in my project?
Our first recommendation is to talk to your installer to make sure they are comfortable installing large format porcelain panels and have the necessary equipment to do so.
Are there special guidelines or manuals for installation?
Yes! Please see the following links to the manufacturer PDF documents with helpful information:
What is the difference between a Sintered Slab and a Porcelain Panel?
The Anatolia 48×110″ slabs are what are referred to as “Porcelain Panels.” These panels are made on the same manufacturing line as the smaller Colorsync lines are made.
The Anatolia 63×126″ slabs are referred to as “Sintered Slabs.” These are made on the Anatolia Continuaa+ manufacturing line and have a slightly different body composition and glazing process than the Porcelain Panels.
