More About Porcelain

Porcelain has been used to create beautiful tiles that have lasted for centuries and even millennia in Ancient Egypt, China, and Rome. Today’s porcelain is a man-made product that is crafted in large panels ranging from 4-foot x 8-foot to 5-foot x 10-foot that can be cut to size for your fireplace, shower, or feature wall accent. It delivers a particular glossy appearance and resists stains while appearing much like natural stone. Each piece has a unique appearance with visible color variations creating a sleek, contemporary finish to your space.

Porcelain is not a natural stone. It is manufactured using clay that is formed into slab-sized tiles, tinted, and then fired in a kiln to produce the durable material. Its surface is sleek and silky to the touch. The same process has been used to make fine china dishes, collectible figurines, and flooring tiles throughout history. While you may think of porcelain china as dainty and breakable, when formed into slabs for use as a wall finish in your bathroom, it is extremely durable. You can expect it to last for decades while maintaining its like-new appearance.

When searching for the perfect porcelain to be custom cut for your home renovation project, we always recommend visiting our showroom, so you can see exactly how the porcelain appears and feels under your fingers.

• B&W: Make a bold statement when you set this black & white slab in your modern bathroom renovation. The stark movement of the high contrast grabs your interest on a silky smooth surface.
• Calcatta Borghini: Designed to reflect the natural beauty of marble, subtle veining in shades of gray race across its surface. It is a fabulous choice for a serene spa retreat or your opulent floor-to-ceiling fireplace surround.
• Mont Mountain Anthracite: Deeper shades of gray mingle to create a surface that is both visually textured and even. Elevate an industrial design by including it in your dining area.

We always have a wide selection of unique porcelain panels on display in our showroom. Come fall in love when you see and touch for yourself.

We will precisely measure and cut the porcelain panels for a custom fit. Giving you the option to layout exactly how you want the veining to look beforehand. We will then deliver the panels to your job site and make sure your contractor or tile setter is prepared on best practices for installation.

Porcelain does not require sealing. We recommend using Supreme Surface Granite Cleaner & Conditioner to wipe up daily messes and to maintain its glorious shine. While porcelain will stand up to years of abuse, it can develop scratches over time which lends it a timeless beauty.
