ECO FRIENDLY TILES

SUR FACE

When Shannon is viewed as a building material, its potential for application is near limitless. From floor to ceiling and over existing material, Shannon has broken the mould on traditional porcelain tiling.

Shannon, Think Differently

Introduction

What if you could specify a ceramic surface that was the eco equivalent of a Tesla? What if by doing so, you could help protect the planet’s dwindling resource of natural stone and reduce the carbon footprint of your building project?

Imagine that this surface could be made to your specifications, the colours and textures you wanted, all the while being thin enough to cover existing wall and floor tiles, yet is stronger than steel. Thanks to the Shannon range, there’s no need to imagine.

Shannon surface technology is ultra-thin – from just 3mm - yet is so strong it can be laid on interior floors and walls, outlasting heavy foot traffic and daily abrasions, even when laid over existing tiles.

With its low embodied carbon, up to 60% pre-consumer recycled content, LEED and BREEAM contributing, and EPD certification, Shannon is a world leader, redefining the way we think about large format tiling.

Available in more than one hundred colours and finishes, it’s time to surrender to your imagination. Whether your after materials for hotels, retail centres, offices, leisure spaces or any large surface, Shannon should be the first name to consider.

Flexible sizing

Shannon comes in five standard sizes – optimising design options and minimising waste.

Car showrooms, hotels, foyers, retail outlets, fashion houses, leisure centres

Heavy-duty (ASTM) strength belies its thinness, thanks to a unique manufacturing process.

5.6mm

The Shannon surface loves high footfall. Shopping centres, offices, hotels and leisure outlets where we work, rest and play.

Commercial receptions

Flooring on a grand scale, turning convention on its head... surface architecture without limits. Textures & colours

With over 100 colours and textures to choose from, you can paint the world your own way.

Walls & Ceilings

A surface like no other

Standing tall

Perfect for interior walls over 3m high. No mechanical fixings or wall build-up - just lower install costs and a fast execution.

Curved structures

Our surfaces impress in executive settings that need to make a statement.

3.5mm & 5.6mm

Taller, wider, thinner, lighter. Choose from 3.5mm or 5.6mm thinness, and a palette of over 100 colours and hues along with multiple textures.

Straight lines

Shannon only curves when you want it to. Our unique manufacturing process guarantees a ‘bend-free’ finish.

Overlay & Refurbishment

Transformational in every way

Fast & effective

Create new surface overlays fast without compromising durability or style.

Reduced noise & dust

Minimal disruption, maximum impact, easy to work with and transformational in its effect –perfect for hotel environments and the like.

5.6mm

A new 5.6mm skin. Surface engineering at its best to overlay existing floors and walls for fast turnaround refurbs. Resistant to mechanical stresses, to chemicals, to wear, to scratches and to deep abrasion... uncompromising and truly revolutionary. Extraordinary in every sense – it even counts towards Ska ratings.

Reduced waste

The smart, cost effective choice for refurbishment projects, where investment is focused on adding value.

Quicker turnaround

An overnight sensation where fast installation ensures optimal business continuity.

Pod Construction, Bathrooms, Vanity Tops

Transformational in every way

Pods

Fast to install, lighter in weight and easy to handle – perfect for lean and green pod manufacture.

Hotel bathrooms

Recreate the wow factor in tired hotel bathrooms and common areas by applying Shannon over new and existing surfaces.

3.5mm & 5.6mm

For floor to ceiling light weight install in pods, or for bringing a new lease of life to hotel bathrooms, Shannon provides a stunning finish for any surface.

Vanity tops

Extend the stunning visual into vanity top surfaces (12mm only) with the Shannon slab – great for style and hard-wearing practicality. Commercial projects only.

Thin & thinner

Shannon comes in a variety of thicknesses down to 3mm. We can help you choose what’s best for your project.

Low carbon production

From just 18 minutes start to finish - less than half the time of conventional tile processes.

Facts

Tough love for the planet

Renewable energy

10,000m2 of PV panels capture the sun’s natural energy and channel it into the production process. Impressive

A 15 tonne roller press – three times the industry standard – converts power into embedded strength allowing the creation of the super thin 3.5mm Shannon.

Large format

We can stretch to 3.24m x 1.62m, 3m x 1m, 3m x 1.2m, 1.62m x 1.62m, 1m x 1m or any proportionate size in between.

Facts

Tactile innovation

Our 3.5mm Shannon creates stunning curved effects with a minimum 6m radius.

Low raw material content

Up to 75% lower virgin material usage than traditional tiles, including up to 60% pre-consumer recycled content.

Greener transportation

Lighter weights make for easier transportation and a lower carbon footprint.
