Marble-like Veining Without the High Maintenance Worry
Large Format Porcelain Vein Design has made it possible to replicate the look of natural stone and its veining with incredible realism.
Porcelain is a man-made material from fine sands and clay fired at high temperatures to produce a dense panel. Digital printing completes the final look of stone, metal, or virtually any texture.

Thanks to its long life and recyclability, porcelain is also sustainable. It’s a 100% natural material that we make from clay, sand, and feldspar.
The mixture contains a high percentage of a mineral known as kaolinite and other mineral oxides, which give porcelain its remarkable strength and durability.
We then put this mixture into a kiln and fire it at high temperatures up to 2000°F. This process creates an incredibly dense material that resists stains, heat, UV rays, and scratching.
4 Large Format Porcelain Vein Design installation:
1. Not specified/random:
Design concept where the veining and texture is placed randomly across the slab.
2. Vein flow:
A technique where all veins are continuously moving in the same direction. There is a harmonious movement that occurs without necessarily perfectly matching the veins. Moderno can fabricate and install your project in such a way that the veins flow.
3. Vein match:
Vein matching uses different faces of the porcelain panels that will, when placed adjacent to one another, match up to create continuous veins across walls or at seams where the slabs meet. Moderno can work with you to determine the best vein match for your project.
4. Book match:
Adjacent marble porcelain panels mirror one another to create a creative, continuous design through movement and veining. We print certain colors to create this type of veining. Come visit a Moderno showroom to see these slabs in person and get started on your next project!
