Porcelain
Step into a world of sophistication and durability with porcelain slabs, where luxury meets performance to create endless design possibilities. These single-tile slabs, spanning up to 10 feet tall and 5 feet wide, offer a luxurious and seamless appearance with minimal grout lines. Whether indoors or outdoors, porcelain slabs serve as a stunning focal point for any room, bringing sophistication and style to showers, outdoor areas, countertops, exterior wall cladding, backsplashes, fireplaces, walls, and floors.
Porcelain slabs are a high-fired ceramic surface, similar to porcelain tile, but with advanced ink jet technology capable of mimicking the look of natural stone, wood, and virtually any other material. With a scratch-resistant surface and imperviousness to chemicals, porcelain slabs are exceptionally durable, boasting a score of 7 on the Mohs Hardness Scale. This makes them ideal for outdoor use and ensures long-lasting beauty and performance in any environment.
Fun Fact: Due to their large format size and minimal grout lines, porcelain slabs can visually expand the perceived size of a space, creating a sense of openness and airiness in any room.
How to maintain it's beauty
Porcelain stands as the pinnacle of elegance and endurance, adorning floors, walls, and countertops with timeless style and lasting quality. With proper care, your porcelain surfaces can maintain their pristine appearance for decades to come.
Regular maintenance is key to preserving the allure of porcelain. Simple cleaning with warm water and mild soap suffices for day-to-day upkeep, effortlessly removing dirt and grime. Opt for gentle multipurpose cleaners to tackle tougher stains like soap scum or hard water deposits, avoiding products containing acids or harsh chemicals that can harm glossy surfaces. Always ensure thorough drying after cleaning to prevent water spots.
For matte porcelain surfaces, a concentrated tile cleaner with a neutral pH is recommended for routine cleaning. These cleaners effectively eliminate grease, oils, and spills without compromising the integrity of matte finishes.
Protecting your investment
Avoid exposing the surfaces to permanent inks or dyes, promptly rinsing and cleaning any affected areas to prevent stubborn stains. Additionally, use cutting boards to protect the countertops from scratches caused by sharp utensils, and employ non-abrasive cleaning products to gently remove dirt and grime.
Before cleaning, ensure the surface is free of dust and debris by sweeping or vacuuming. Consider adding an extra layer of protection with TuffSkin, a durable stone laminate that guards against scratches and stains while preserving the porcelain's elegance. With these simple steps, you can extend the lifespan of your porcelain surfaces and enjoy their timeless beauty for years to come.
