The primary components are stone powder, clay, and other natural inorganic substances. These materials are pressed at low temperatures, making the production process low-carbon and environmentally friendly. Cardamia® Econic Clay has received environmental certifications such as the China Green Label, UL in the United States, and the Singapore Green Label.
Soft ceramics typically only offer monochromatic effects, whereas Econic Clay can achieve 3D coatings, resulting in more varied and richer patterns.
Many so-called "soft ceramics/soft stone/flexible stone" products on the market include 40-60% chemical adhesives to achieve a "soft" effect, which can cause shrinkage and detachment after installation. Econic Clay uses less than 10% of an environmentally friendly modifier (Patent No.: ZL200910226004.0) to ensure flexibility and durability.
Soft ceramics/soft stone/flexible stone are usually available in smaller sizes such as 1200600mm or 600300mm, while Econic Clay comes in larger formats like 24001200mm or 27001200mm.
Yes, it can be used for both. Interior applications include walls and ceilings, while exterior applications are suitable for buildings up to 100 meters tall.
Ensure substrate flatness. For interiors, use calcium silicate boards or cement boards as substrates. For exteriors, use high-density cement boards or plastered leveling layers. Avoid installing directly on untreated gypsum boards or plywood.
The thickness varies with the texture, with thinner versions being 2-3 (±1)mm and thicker versions being 5-8 (±1)mm.
The standard sizes are 1200600mm and 24001200mm, with some varieties available in 2700*1200mm.
Cardamia® provides a 2-year warranty for the product and offers professional installation guidance, and can recommend professional installation teams.
