Fabricating and How to Cut Techlam Porcelain
As we mentioned at the beginning of the page, Techlam is a sintered material. This means that it is very versatile and durable. Therefore, it can be used for a number projects and is capable of functioning as a work surface, a floor covering, and even wall panels. Since it is so adaptable, it is good for fabrication professionals to know about it before jumping into cutting and installing it.
As with any sintered material, fabricating Techlam requires the proper tools. That includes using the right kind of diamond blade. Using a bridge saw blade that was not intended for cutting sintered materials can have an adverse affect on the material, the blade, and the project. Hence, it is good to make sure that you seek out a diamond blade that is engineered for the task. We have designed a blade with the goal of it being the best ceramic bridge saw blade for use on a variety of sintered materials.
Selecting the proper blades for sitnered materials is important because sintering causes the material to be extremely hard and that means the material can crack or chip if the wrong blade or techniques are used to cut the material. We encourage you to research the best practices for fabricating Techlam if you are interested in working with this material.
Techlam Care & Maintenance
Sintered materials also have care and maintenance guidelines that are designed to help owners get the most out of the surfaces after they are installed. One of the big challenges to hard surfaces is finding the proper cleaning and maintenance routine to use if you are putting a material in a home or other high traffic location. This is because each kind of surface has specific requirements that make it stand out from the crowd. It is vital to know how Techlam porcelain tiles measure up to other hard surfaces.
Techlam is a non-porous surface that does not absorb liquids. It is also very hard and is not easily scratched. These two features of the material's design make it very resistant to staining since substances remains on the surface of the slab rather than penetrating it. This means you can easily clean spills from the surface of the material. Tough and dried on spills, however, may call for a bit more in the way of cleaners. Let's consider those now.
Dried on stains can be difficult to remove if the surface is chemically sensitive to various cleaners and stain removers. However, Techlam is resistant to a range of chemicals that pose a challenge for other type of materials. Therefore, Techlam is capable of being treated against a variety of stain types.

In conclusion, Techlam is a very durable, versatile sitnered ceramic porcelain material that is appealing to many different people because of its ease of care and maintenance. Additionally, fabricators that want to begin working with it can make sure they are effective at fabricating it by looking into the requirements and obtaining the appropriate diamond tools including bridge saw blades and other tools.
