Porcelain Stoneware Paving Slab – KAO CHARAMEL KA03 – 30x120 cm – Mirage (Pack of 2)

Mirage Kao Charamel: The Authentic Soul of Wood in a Modern Ceramic Plank

Bring the timeless elegance of traditional wood flooring to your outdoor landscape with the KAO collection from Mirage. The Charamel KA03 model is meticulously designed to reproduce the organic irregularities of natural wood, from its intricate grain patterns to its characteristic knots. A specialized "waxed" surface finish provides a touch of interior refinement, making it an ideal choice for high-end terraces, balconies, and transitional indoor-outdoor spaces.

Built for the rigors of exterior living, these 2 cm thick slabs are made from full-bodied porcelain stoneware. Unlike natural timber, Charamel KA03 is completely immune to rotting, warping, and UV-induced fading. With a water absorption rate of less than 0.5%, the surface is naturally waterproof and highly resistant to frost, stains, and chemicals. It offers the inviting warmth of a wooden deck without the need for annual oiling, sanding, or chemical treatments.

The 30x120 cm format mirrors the elongated lines of professional architectural flooring, allowing for a variety of elegant laying patterns on pedestal systems. With a high slip-resistance rating (R11), this slab ensures a safe and secure environment for all outdoor activities, maintaining its performance even in wet or humid conditions.

Installation Tips

• Pedestal Support: For the 30x120 cm plank format, we recommend using a minimum of 6 pedestals per slab. Place one at each corner and one at the midpoint of each 120 cm edge to ensure total structural stability.

• Stability Rule: Always maintain a support point at least every 60 cm to guarantee the slab's integrity under load and prevent central flexing.

• Acoustic Comfort: Enhance your installation by adding anti-vibration shims to the pedestal heads. This significantly reduces the sound of footsteps and creates a solid, premium feel.

• Precision Handling: At 16 kg per slab, these planks are manageable, but using a professional suction cup lifter is highly recommended for perfect alignment and to protect the rectified edges.

Note: This product is sold as a pack of 2 slabs. Pedestals and installation accessories are sold separately.
