Porcelain Stoneware Mirage

Mirage porcelain stoneware is a totally natural product.

The controlled random mix of natural raw materials in different colours overcomes the typical repetition of artificial products: every slab is unique in terms of grain and colour combination, without any of the typical excesses of many natural stones.

• Basic sizes and special pieces can be supplied in autonomous colours. Any small variations in calibre fall within legal tolerances.
• Occasional light spotting is part of the natural feature of the material;
• Seconds or end-of-production goods are sold “as seen and accepted”, and no complaints will be accepted;
• For best results with products with ≥ V2 shading coefficient, lay the material using several boxes, to create a perfect mix.
