Large porcelain slabs can reduce grout joints and create continuous stone-look, concrete-look, or decorative surfaces. Porcelain resists heat, stains, and ultraviolet exposure well, but thin slabs require specialized fabrication and handling. Edge design is important because the face pattern may not continue through the slab. Cutouts and mitered corners should be completed by an experienced fabricator.
Key considerations
- heat resistance
- stain resistance
- UV resistance
- large format
- minimal joints
- thin slab construction
