Porcelain Stoneware Paving Slab – KAO CARAMEL RAW KA13 – 30x120 cm – Mirage (Pack of 2)

Mirage Kao Caramel Raw: Authentic Timber Soul with Industrial Ceramic Power

Elevate your outdoor design with the KAO collection from Mirage. The Caramel Raw KA13 model reinterprets the timeless appeal of wood, capturing every organic detail from intricate grain patterns to authentic knots. The specialized "raw" design is complemented by a delicate waxed finish, adding a layer of interior-inspired elegance to patios, balconies, and pool surrounds. This high-performance porcelain solution allows you to enjoy the cozy atmosphere of a traditional wooden deck without the structural risks of natural timber.

Crafted from full-bodied porcelain, these 2 cm thick slabs are purpose-built for the rigors of exterior life. With a water absorption rate of less than 0.5%, the material is inherently waterproof and immune to damage from moisture, frost, and biological growth like mold. Unlike real wood, Caramel Raw will not warp, splinter, or fade under UV exposure, ensuring your terrace maintains its warm, rich tones for decades.

The elongated 30x120 cm format mirrors the lines of architectural flooring, allowing for clean and modern layouts. Rated with R11 slip resistance, it provides a safe and secure surface for all outdoor environments, maintaining high traction even in wet or humid weather.

Installation Tips

• Pedestal Support: For the 30x120 cm plank format, we recommend using a minimum of 6 pedestals per slab. Position one at each corner and one at the midpoint of each 120 cm edge to ensure 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: For a premium finish, place anti-vibration rubber shims on the pedestal heads to dampen footsteps and create a solid, high-quality feel.

• Professional Handling: At 16 kg per slab, these planks are manageable, but we recommend using a professional suction cup lifter for perfect alignment and to protect the rectified edges during installation.

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