Daltile’s SlimLite is a large-format porcelain panel that can be used for exterior cladding, walls, countertops, and other solid surfaces. Imported from Italy, these panels have all the performance characteristics of porcelain: they are strong, dense, nonporous, and impervious to moisture. They are also chemical resistant; resist scratching, staining, fading, and cracking; and are not affected by freeze-thaw cycles. Though these panels take significant energy to produce, they should have a very long service life and require minimal maintenance. SlimLite panels are thin—approximately 1/8" (3.5 mm) thick—and flexible, and are available in sizes up to 3' x 10' and more than 40 color and texture options.
