This is the "Sovereign Slab" finish of the collection. While the standard large-format tiles create a premium feel, the Sant'Agostino Mystic Ivory 36 x 72 Polished represents the absolute peak of porcelain engineering. It is the definitive choice for a "Palatial Modern" or "Ultra-Luxury" aesthetic, trading traditional tile boundaries for massive, continuous spans of high-definition Italian art.

PRODUCT TITLE

Sant'Agostino Mystic Series: Ivory 36" x 72" Polished "Krystal" Porcelain Slab

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Command the architectural narrative of your home with the monumental Mystic Ivory 36 x 72 Slab. This titan of the Ceramica Sant'Agostino collection transcends the definition of tile, offering an expansive 18-square-foot surface area per piece. Inspired by the rare, swirling aesthetics of geodic agate and translucent marble, the "Ivory" colorway features a breathtaking landscape of warm cream, fossilized amber, and delicate alabaster veining.

The Krystal Polishing System—an industry-leading technique—grants this slab a deep, liquid-like transparency that brings the intricate digital graphics to life. At a staggering 3 feet by 6 feet, this format is designed to mimic the look of solid, hand-selected stone blocks. It is a high-performance, non-porous masterpiece that provides the prestige of an exotic quarry with the precision and durability of elite Italian porcelain

SPECIFICATIONS

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

⚠️ CRITICAL: This is a "Grand Format" product. Installation requires a specialized two-person crew equipped with suction cup rail frames for handling. Due to the 88-lb weight and 6-foot span, any subfloor deflection will result in cracking; the substrate must be perfectly rigid and flat.

Manufacturer Recommendations:

• Recommended Mortar: Use a premium S2-class highly deformable Large-and-Heavy-Tile (LHT) mortar.

• 100% Coverage: "Back-buttering" is mandatory. You must achieve 100% mortar contact to support the span of the slab and eliminate air pockets.

• Leveling System: A heavy-duty mechanical leveling system is required to eliminate lippage across the 72-inch edge.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

• Can this be used for a kitchen island? Yes! While thinner than 2cm stone, when properly bonded to a solid substrate, these slabs make stunning, stain-proof, and heat-resistant countertop surfaces.

• How many pieces come in a box? Due to their size, these are typically packed one piece per box to ensure safe transit and handling.

• Is it frost-proof? Yes, it is impervious to water (<0.5% absorption), making it suitable for high-end covered outdoor patios or feature walls in any climate.

PRO INSTALLATION TIPS

• The "Euro" Trowel Technique: Use a slanted-ridge trowel on both the floor and the back of the slab. Comb the ridges in the same direction (parallel to the short side) to allow air to escape easily as the slab is bedded.

• Vibration Setting: For slabs of this size, use a handheld tile vibrator (beater) to settle the tile into the mortar. This ensures the 100% coverage required for structural integrity.

• Seamless Grouting: Use a high-performance epoxy grout in an "Ivory" or "Cream" shade. Because the joints are so minimal, a color-matched grout makes the floor appear as one solid, unbroken stone surface.
