ASCALE

Product catalog summary

Overview

The ASCALE collection by TAU Cerámica offers high-end large-format porcelain tiles (320x160 cm) in two thicknesses (6 mm and 12 mm), designed for versatile architectural and interior design applications including countertops, flooring, wall cladding, façades, and furniture.

Advantages

Dimensional Stability: Maintains shape and appearance over time.
Waterproof and Frost Resistant: Suitable for indoor and outdoor use, including cold climates.
High Resistance: Abrasion (deep and superficial), thermal shock, crazing, scratches, stains, chemicals, and fireproof.
Mechanical Strength: High flexural strength, especially 12 mm slabs reinforced with fiberglass mesh.
Easy Maintenance: Stain and chemical resistant surfaces.

Technical Features

Two thickness options: 6 mm (lightweight, ideal for cladding) and 12 mm (reinforced with fiberglass mesh for strength, ideal for work surfaces). Finishes include Matt, Soft Matt, and Polished, providing aesthetic flexibility.

Applications

Interior and exterior wall cladding and façades
Flooring (interior and exterior)

Technical Recommendations and Best Practices

Use 12 mm reinforced slabs for countertops and high-stress areas.
Combine 6 mm and 12 mm thicknesses for versatile architectural solutions.
Select finishes based on aesthetic and functional needs.
Combine colors and materials thoughtfully (e.g., black stone with warm wood) for elegant, modern designs.

Innovative Technology: TPB tech® Integration

The ASCALE collection incorporates TPB tech® technology in 6 mm Matt and Soft Matt finishes, enabling induction cooking directly on porcelain surfaces. This innovation eliminates traditional glass-ceramic hobs, enhancing ergonomics, safety, and multifunctionality by unifying cooking and work areas.
