A Guide to Different slab tile Sizes and Their Uses

----How to Choose the Right Slab Tile for Your Project

In recent years, a new type of material has emerged in the decoration materials market: slab tile. It is gradually replacing traditional materials such as granite and marble, and is even making inroads into the furniture industry, displacing wood, glass, and others. What is the magic of slab tile that makes it so highly sought after? We will find out the reasons in this post.

What is Slab Tile?

Slab tile is made of natural raw materials through a special process, with the help of more than 10,000 tons of press pressing (more than 15,000 tons), combined with advanced production technology, after 1200℃ high temperature firing, can withstand cutting, drilling, grinding and other processing processes of oversized new porcelain materials.

There are many options for home improvement materials, but they all have different disadvantages. Wood is prone to burning; marble is susceptible to wear and requires high maintenance; granite can be rigid in appearance; artificial quartz stone lacks variety in style; glass is fragile and poses safety risks; stainless steel is vulnerable to scratches. What makes slab tile so special?

What’s the Characteristic of Slab Tile?

1. Safety and Environmental Protection

  Slab tile select pure natural materials that are non-toxic, ensuring they are safe and environmentally friendly. They can be used directly with food.

2. Strong Anti-fouling Properties

   With a water seepage rate of only one in 10,000, slab tile set a new standard in artificial building materials. They prevent stains from penetrating and eliminate breeding grounds for bacteria.

3. Abrasion, High Temperature, and Corrosion Resistance

   Slab tile have a Mohs hardness of over 6, making them highly resistant to scratching and abrasion. They also withstand various chemicals, including solutions and disinfectants.

4. Diverse Slab Tile Textures, Can be Customized According to User Needs

   The slab tile textures are rich and varied, allowing for customization according to user preferences.

With so many advantages of slab tile, what scenarios can it be used in our lives? And what’s the difference uses in different sizes?

The advantage of 6mm slab tile is the right combination of flexural resistance and thinness. In contrast, 3mm is too thin has a certain risk of cracking, and 12mm has 2 times the weight of the construction cost and difficulty. So 6mm is the best choice for the wall.

12mm slab tile based on its solid, can withstand complex processing and landing systems, not only suitable for a variety of countertops, but also very suitable for stairs, TV cabinets, window sills and other home scenes.

900×1800×12mm Slab Tile Use

The wall floor, 900×1800×12mm, is the gold specification of the ground paving, which can meet the needs of the elevator in transportation and paving, and meet the needs of the user with less space and less beautiful decoration compared with ordinary tiles. It can be on the wall and on the ground to achieve a large area of seamless paving.

Table top: 900×1800mm is one of the common table specifications, no need to cut, a piece is just the size of a table. In addition, the 12mm thickness of the slab has strong machining performance and can be cut arbitrarily according to needs. Corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, food grade performance is the icing on the cake.

1200×2400×6mm Slab Tile Use

The wall floor is 1200×2400 in line with the ordinary height of 2.4-2.6m, to achieve the height needs of a piece to the top, and it is an all-around player of "on the wall and on the ground" and "indoor and outdoor".

The thickness of this specification is 6mm, the thickness is uniform, can replace metal, glass and other materials as decorative panels, health and environmental protection, formaldehyde-free, moisture-proof and wear-resistant. And large specification products can reduce the loss caused by processing, high material yield, and more atmospheric for home decoration.

1600×3200×12mm Slab Tile Use

The ground is 12mm thick with the advantages of 1600×3200 large specifications, which is used as the ground not only has a brilliant effect, but also has impact resistance and wear resistance.

The large size can meet the design and processing of the kitchen island, conference table and meet the more possibilities of home design while retaining the complete effect of the grain.

In addition, other specifications also have their own adaptation of the best space. For example, the 800×2600×6mm slab tile specification can easily move into the elevator, and there is no need to worry about the trouble of crane entry and invisible costs during the installation process. The proportion of the board is slender, fashionable and exquisite, and the whole house is applicable at will.

1200×2400×12mm is very suitable for doing the kitchen island, about ten people rectangular table top, 12mm thickness is also very suitable for the ground.

1600×3200×6mm can be well adapted to 3.2-3.6 living room height of villas, self-built houses, etc., to achieve a piece to the top.
