Porcelain Countertops

Porcelain slabs are the modern choice — only 6–12mm thick (versus 30mm for quartz/granite), totally non-porous, UV-stable for outdoor use, scratch-proof, and heat-proof. Available in marble looks, concrete looks, and metallic looks. Ideal for waterfall edges and book-matched patterns.

FAQ

Common porcelain questions, answered.

What's special about porcelain countertops?
They're slim (6–12mm vs 30mm for quartz), totally non-porous, UV-stable for outdoor use, and can be book-matched into dramatic veining patterns. The thin profile gives a modern minimalist look you can't get with quartz or stone.
Are porcelain countertops fragile because they're thin?
No — porcelain is harder than granite. The thinner profile is a design choice, not a structural compromise. The slabs are reinforced and rated for full kitchen use. We do recommend support overhangs more carefully than thicker materials.
Can porcelain countertops be used outdoors?
Yes — that's one of porcelain's biggest advantages. Most porcelain slabs are UV-stable and freeze-thaw rated, making them ideal for outdoor kitchens, alfresco bars, and pool-area surfaces.
How does porcelain compare to quartz on price?
Roughly comparable — porcelain is in the $80–$160/sq ft installed range, similar to mid-to-high end quartz. The thin profile actually reduces material weight and shipping cost, but fabrication is more delicate.
