––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– THIN TILE Eleganza owner Mike Darmawan chose this stunning, largest-size- ever-seen Magnum porcelain by Florim for its Anaheim corporate showroom. Magnum in Alabastro Bamboo and Alabastro Madre Perla was selected for the immense floor installation of full pieces in the grand lobby entrance and Burl Grey and Calacatta in full slabs were installed in the stunning, expansive fireplace surround. A custom vignette featuring book- match Classic Statuario A &B paired with modern cabi- netry graces the space as well. Burl White polished in 23” x 32” pieces were installed in the entrance to this newly-renovat- ed space. “ H a v i n g i n n o v a t i v e large porcelain slabs for exist- ing or new installation, provides versa- tility in appli- cations not really consid- ered before,” D a r m a w a n said. Local fabri- cators were able to easily handle, fabricate, and install these 6 mm thick porcelain panels displaying the diverse applications of these lightweight, state-of-the-art large porcelain slabs. Their frequently-used local install- er with both tile and stone experi- ence, indicated that the Magnum lightweight large slabs offered their team a maneuverable material that was easy to manage and fabricate for wall and floor installation.
