Porcelain slabs provide a thin, dense surface with strong resistance to heat, stains, and ultraviolet exposure. Because many designs are printed on the face, the visual may not continue through a cut edge. Mitered or built-up edges can create a thicker finished appearance. Fabrication requires specialized tools and experience. Cutouts, corners, transportation, support, and edge impact should be carefully planned.

Key considerations

  • heat resistance
  • stain resistance
  • UV resistance
  • large format
  • thin construction
  • stone-look designs
