Why Architects Prefer Neotra Slabs Over Traditional Stone Materials

Understanding the Shift in Architectural Surface Preferences

Unlike natural stone that is directly taken from the earth, our slabs are designed in the cutting-edge product plant composed of natural minerals without resins or chemical binders, resisting the emission of silica particles. The process of making slabs is to grind, at the strongest pressure and extreme heat, generating a new sintered material.

• Large-Format Flexibility

  Our slabs are available in large-format slabs that allow architects to create a seamless type of surface with fewer joints. Architects are expected to push boundaries that integrate complex patterns, finishes or textures into the project; traditional stones limit design options. Inmensa has Neo Scudo Tech and Neo Senso Technology, which are anti-bacterial, anti-virus, anti-fungal, and anti-algae, creating a pleasant surface quality that adapts easily to facades, feature walls or backsplashes. Inmensa offers balanced simplicity with large slabs that eliminate the visual clutter while maintaining a luxurious look. Minimal facades for building feature large windows or glass panels to promote natural light.

• Diverse Aesthetic Palettes

  SPA collection offers a refined finish and versatile application, which is ideal for high-tech designs that require a balance of sustainable, aesthetic and durable materials. For a traditional look, the Pastelli collection provides subtle, neutral tones that complement classic designs without sacrificing durability or maintenance. These types of surfaces maintain beauty over time, even under exposure to various elements.

• Performance in Demanding Environments

  They protect against pollution, weather, and physical wear, while also creating the expression of design. Facades contribute significantly to a building’s environmental impact, which influences factors such as solar energy absorption, insulation and carbon emissions.

• Safety and Hygiene

  Safety and hygiene are top priorities in both commercial and residential projects. Neotra slabs are anti-bacterial and easy to clean. Thermal stability provides a safer option for countertops, table tops or fireplaces as the slabs are fire-resistant. Along with this, our slabs are impact, chemical and stain-resistant, making them perfect for use in bathrooms, dining tables, shower bases or as a facade.

• Sustainable and Future-Ready

  Natural stones are quarried, which creates a significant environmental impact, including carbon emissions, habitat destruction and more. Neotra slabs are a greener alternative. We have minimal waste processing due to an efficient production cycle, which produces close to the factory lines, reducing transportation emissions, and is durable, making a sustainable long-term solution.

Real Applications of Neotra in Architecture

Neotra slab is a revolution in the modern construction era. The strength, adaptability and aesthetic appeal make our slabs suitable for a wide range of applications, and they are-

• Kitchen countertops

  The slabs are resistant to heat, stains and scratches, making them a better option than marble or granite. More than ever, it has an absolute priority to maintain spaces where one cooks and lives in utmost cleanliness and hygiene, as our slabs are NSF certified. A non-porous surface does not harbour dirt and bacteria, while this type of surface also helps repel liquid.

• Facades

  Large-format slabs are widely used for facades. Neotra Advanced Surfaces offers a low-maintenance solution that not only elevates the visual appearance but also contributes to long-term performance. Our slabs provide innovative solutions that combine beauty, durability, and eco-conscious performance. Perfect for high-rise buildings that require durable yet lightweight facades, villas for seamless finishes, and commercial buildings where low-maintenance is crucial.

• Shower Base, Bathtub, and Washbasin

  The key criteria for these are a liquid-repellent and anti-bacterial type of surface. Neotra slabs have all these criteria and can be used as a vanity top, sink, shower base or wash basin. Since our slabs are easy to clean and non-porous, they prevent bacterial growth, ensuring the slab remains hygienic for a long time.
