Why Choose Porcelain Countertops?

Porcelain has become an increasingly popular countertop material because it combines sophisticated design with impressive everyday performance.

Depending on the product selected, porcelain surfaces can offer:

• Excellent resistance to stains
• High resistance to heat
• Scratch and abrasion resistance
• Low water absorption
• Easy cleaning and maintenance
• UV resistance for many outdoor applications

Porcelain’s versatility also makes it an excellent option for more than countertops. Many porcelain surfaces can be used for backsplashes, shower walls, fireplace surrounds, outdoor kitchens, wall cladding, and other architectural applications.

Porcelain Countertops for Kitchens

Porcelain is an excellent choice for kitchen countertops and islands, particularly for homeowners looking for a sleek surface with strong resistance to everyday wear.

Large-format porcelain slabs allow dramatic patterns and veining to become a major design element in the kitchen. Marble-inspired porcelain can provide the sophisticated appearance of natural stone, while concrete, slate, and other contemporary designs create a more modern aesthetic.

Porcelain can also be paired with other countertop materials to create contrast. For example, a dramatic porcelain island can be combined with quartz or another complementary surface around the perimeter of the kitchen.

Porcelain Countertops for Outdoor Kitchens

Certain porcelain and ultracompact surfaces are particularly well suited for outdoor kitchens and entertaining areas because of their resistance to UV exposure, heat, moisture, and changing environmental conditions.

Dekton, StratusPorcelain™, and select Caesarstone Porcelain surfaces offer options designed for exterior applications.

Always consult with a FLOFORM countertop specialist to determine whether a specific color, finish, and product is approved for your intended outdoor application.

Depending on the product, porcelain slabs can be used for:

• Kitchen countertops
• Kitchen islands
• Bathroom vanities
• Full-height backsplashes
• Shower walls
• Fireplace surrounds
• Outdoor kitchens
• Accent and feature walls

Using the same or complementary porcelain surface across multiple applications can create a coordinated, contemporary design throughout your home.
