Because of its deep background in fabrication and installation, Moderno Porcelain Works identified a growing challenge: professionals were excited about large-format porcelain. But frustrated by how difficult it was to work with. Heavy slabs. Cracking. Time-consuming prep. Difficult transportation.
To solve these challenges, Moderno created MightySlab® with Smart Flex Technology. A patented, lightweight porcelain slab system, pre-mounted to a durable backer board, built to make life easier for fabricators, remodelers, tile setters, and ultimately, the homeowner.
A Smarter Porcelain Slab System, Built for Real Life
MightySlab® is more than a porcelain panel. It’s a fully engineered system designed to solve everyday fabrication and installation problems. Each panel consists of a 6mm porcelain surface permanently bonded to a 10mm rigid core backer board, forming a 16mm slab that’s strong, flexible, and installation-ready.
Key advantages:
- Pre-mounted to a backer board: Less prep, fewer trades involved
- Fabrication-ready: Works with existing bridge saws, clamps, waterjets
- Lighter weight than traditional slabs: Easier to handle, transport, and install
- Reduced risk of breakage: Flexible structure supports clean cuts
- Ideal for large-scale and custom residential applications
Whether you specialize in remodels, commercial projects, or custom homes, this system offers a simpler, more profitable way to work with porcelain.
Applications That Deliver Results
Shower Walls
Traditional tiled showers take time and require layers of substrate and waterproofing. Acrylic systems can feel flimsy or outdated. MightySlab® solves both problems.
Each panel is:
- Pre-mounted to a waterproof backer board
- Delivered cut-to-size and ready to install
- Secured with adhesive (no mud-bed required)
- Sealed with minimal joints and no grout lines
Result: A sleek, durable shower wall with faster turnaround, fewer trades, and less mess.
Easier Handling and Safer Transport
Each MightySlab® panel weighs around 165 lbs—nearly half the weight of a full-thickness stone slab. That’s a major benefit for installers and remodelers who need to move materials quickly and safely.
Highlights:
- No special lifting equipment needed
- Reduces crew fatigue and breakage risks
- Panels arrive jobsite-ready
- Backer board adds strength without bulk
Why This Innovation Matters
This patented porcelain slab system with a pre-mounted backer board was designed to save time, reduce errors, and increase the quality of every install.
MightySlab® helps:
- Fabricators cut more efficiently using their existing setup
- Remodelers meet deadlines with pre-sized materials
- Tile setters eliminate fragile handling and substrate prep
- Homeowners enjoy seamless, low-maintenance surfaces that last
