What is porcelain slab? Porcelain is made from fine clay and a mineral called kaolinite. Feldspar, silica, and mineral oxides often come naturally in the clay, improving strength and color. This mix of clay and minerals is heated at incredibly high temperatures. Porcelain is very dense and non-porous. This is what gives porcelain its water- and bacteria-resistances. Porcelain also resists staining, which is ideal for flooring or walls.
A product of Europe that made its way across the pond to American homes, porcelain slabs resemble porcelain tiles, but they are much, much larger. They are often available in sizes of up to 10-by-5 feet. Their thickness ranges from 3 to 6 millimeters. If you are looking for the ultimate luxurious look for your walls, these extra large piece of tiles are ideal.
In the past, porcelain slabs were overlooked in favor of stone. That made sense in the past, but times have changed! Flooring made of porcelain is strong, durable, water and bacteria-resistant, etc. Flooring made of porcelain slabs can also be made in a wide variety of looks. This makes the design choices for your commercial or residential space much more flexible.
