Frequently Asked Questions

What is porcelain?
Porcelain is an ecofriendly, man-made material comprised of up to 94% clay, feldspar and silicon. The remaining percentage is glass, enamels, pigment and binder. Porcelain is processed under extremely high pressure and temperatures to create a strong, durable solution with a hardness of 7-9 on the Mohs scale. Because of its unique manufacturing process, porcelain slabs are available in larger formats and much thinner densities than other surfaces.
What are the best applications for porcelain?
Due to its strength and durability, porcelain is ideal for countertops, surrounds, interior walls and floors and exterior cladding. Cladding is simply layering one material over another to create a new surface. Porcelain is used as cladding to beautify walls and building facades.
