Large-format installation – Nashville International Airport

Travelers using BNA airport in Nashville have seen a complete makeover of the terminal areas in recent months. The terminal walls now feature 5′ x 10′ porcelain panels by QUANTUM – a brand of StonePeak Ceramics, also based in Tennessee.

The QUANTUM panels are called White Wood – though the graphic is from a natural stone with soft directional veining. By choosing a porcelain tile, the designers achieved a terrific look at a fraction of the cost that natural stone would have entailed. The QUANTUM panels are just 6mm thick, and as many as 50 panels are delivered on a single A-frame.

This sector of the industry continues to evolve rapidly, with both tile manufacturers and setting material suppliers continually updating their product offerings. Especially in commercial settings, the large panels are gaining widespread acceptance.
