What is large-format technical stone?
Carefully selected natural minerals, formed by a 10,000-ton press and fired in a roller hearth kiln at temperatures exceeding 1,000°C, give rise to a new generation of large-format decorative slabs with low water absorption and high abrasion resistance. Where nature meets technology — delivering full-scenario surfacing solutions for modern spaces, from walls to floors, from furniture to facades.
Ultra-thin and flexible, it can be curved to wrap rounded surfaces. Weighing only one-third of traditional stone, it significantly reduces the load on walls and cabinetry.
Applications
Cabinet door veneers, furniture surfacing, curved walls, elevator interiors, and renovation projects where direct overlay without wall demolition is required. With its light form, it unlocks greater design possibilities.
6mm — The Versatile Choice
Features
The ideal balance of lightness and strength, combining large-format visual impact with structural stability. It can be laminated with honeycomb aluminum or other substrates to reach 15mm, delivering both lightweight handling and load-bearing performance.
Applications
TV feature walls, sofa background walls, kitchen walls, bathroom walls and floors, and commercial space facades. One slab, many uses — the mainstream thickness for interior vertical surfaces.
12mm — The Robust Choice
Features
High structural strength with excellent impact resistance and load-bearing capacity. It can stand alone as a countertop without additional backing. Its substantial thickness delivers a three-dimensional presence and premium edge detailing.
Applications
Kitchen islands, kitchen countertops, dining tables, coffee tables, vanity tops, and bar counters. With its solid, substantial feel, it withstands daily high-frequency use and long-term durability demands.
Applications of technical stone tiles
Large-format technical stone tiles can be used wherever design has to work with demanding daily use. Kitchens, bathrooms, facades, floors and wall cladding all benefit from a resistant, low-porosity surface that is easy to clean, stable outdoors and available in finishes inspired by marble, cement, stone, wood and metal.
Kitchen & countertops
Kitchen surfaces need to combine design, hygiene and resistance. Technical stone is ideal for worktops, islands, backsplashes, wall cladding and tables because it withstands heat, scratches, stains and frequent cleaning without losing its appearance.
Large slabs reduce joints and make it possible to wrap the countertop, front and backsplash in the same material, creating a clean architectural kitchen with a continuous stone look.
Bathrooms require surfaces that resist water, humidity and daily cleaning while keeping a refined appearance. JANYE technical stone tiles offer a compact, low-porosity finish for shower walls, floors, vanity fronts and decorative wall panels.
The large format reduces grout lines, helping the room feel more spacious and making maintenance simpler. Coordinated finishes can be used across walls, floors and furniture for a calm, continuous bathroom design.
For exterior cladding, terraces, pool areas and ventilated facades, technical stone provides a durable surface that is stable under sunlight, rain, frost and temperature changes. It does not fade easily, deform or absorb water in normal architectural use.
Its light, large-format slabs help create clean facade lines with fewer joints, while stone, cement and metal effects give architects a broad palette for outdoor projects.
Across homes, hotels, retail stores and commercial interiors, the same material can cover floors, walls and furniture surfaces with a consistent finish. Its resistance to wear and cleaning makes it suitable for high-use spaces.
Sintered stone can be custom-fabricated into dining tables, coffee tables, and desk surfaces, or used as decorative veneer for cabinet doors. Lightweight yet durable, it infuses modern furniture with the natural texture of stone and lasting quality.
Yes. Slim slabs can often be installed over existing wall coverings without heavy demolition, reducing work time, noise and debris. The substrate must be flat, stable and suitable for the selected fixing system.
Is it suitable outdoors?
It is. Technical stone is designed to resist UV exposure, frost, temperature changes and moisture, making it suitable for terraces, exterior walls, pool areas and ventilated facade systems.
What sizes and thicknesses are available?
JANYE supplies large-format slabs for wall cladding, flooring, furniture and countertops, including slim formats for coverings and thicker options for more demanding horizontal surfaces.
Is it hygienic for kitchens and bathrooms?
Yes. The compact, low-porosity surface helps repel liquids and stains, so it is easy to clean and well suited to kitchens, bathrooms and wet areas.

What is a large-format sintered stone slab
A slab (also called sintered stone) is a large-format panel made from natural inorganic raw materials such as quartz, feldspar and clay, pressed under thousands of tonnes of force and fired in a kiln at about 1,200°C. Water absorption is typically ≤0.1% (near-zero porosity), and it is abrasion-, heat- and acid-resistant, fireproof, easy to clean and food-safe. Common thicknesses are 3mm, 6mm and 12mm, suitable for countertops, walls, floors, furniture surfaces and building façades.
