From Countertops to Curb Appeal: Achieve Project Continuity With Porcelain

Modern design requires materials that deliver both exceptional visual impact and certified technical reliability. Fortunately, Caesarstone Porcelain makes it easier than ever to take advantage of those strengths by using the same material in multiple places in one project.

Applications for this versatile surface material include countertops, flooring, wall cladding, backsplashes, and countertops. Porcelain provides simplified specification as a single, high-performance product and consistent, integrated design aesthetic.

Porcelain Delivers Design Mimicry and Realism

Porcelain is a ceramic made of clay and fired at extremely high temperatures. It is hard, durable, and nonporous so harsh chemical sealants are never needed.

That material composition paired with Caesarstone’s technology produces surfaces of sophisticated aesthetic capabilities, allowing for bold design visions in both indoor and outdoor spaces. Its superior UV resistance ensures a product specified for an exterior facade will look identical to the interior cladding years later.

Advanced design options empower designers with the freedom to choose. Pick variations, continuous, or book-matched to best fit your project. 

• Variations: Each design is produced in four subtly different face variants to ensure every installation is unique. A random selection is dispatched on each order, for a natural, organic end result.
• Continuous: Veining and patterns match to create a unified look with minimal seams. Perfect for a subtle, flow-through look for long countertops, as well as floors and walls that feel spacious, look elegant, and are easy to maintain.
• Book-Matching: The dramatic mirror effect available on selected designs with prominent veining or patterns is ideal for feature walls, commercial lobbies, large bathrooms, and stylish living areas.

Porcelain is ideal for material continuity and lasting performance across many different surfaces and rooms. 

The 4 Pillars of Porcelain Applications

1. High-Performance Flooring

With its high-density composition, porcelain flooring is perfectly suited for both residential and commercial settings. Benefits of porcelain flooring include: 

• Extreme Durability: Porcelain is resistant to abrasion, chipping, and wear even in high-traffic areas.
• Minimal Absorption: With a water absorption rate of less than 0.5%, porcelain is highly resistant to moisture damage and staining, making it ideal for wet rooms and areas that require frequent cleaning.
• Slip Resistance: Caesarstone’s Safe-Grip technology offers certified slip resistance for high-traffic, commercial, or outdoor areas, ensuring safety in both dry and wet environments.
• Large-Format Design: Large slabs of porcelain reduce grout lines, creating a cleaner, more expansive look that simplifies long-term maintenance.

2. Architectural Wall Cladding

Use porcelain to create stunning, monolithic vertical features without the weight or maintenance of natural stone. Using the material at 6 mm to 12 mm in wall cladding provides: 

• Continuous Design: Large slabs enable visually seamless cladding on accent walls, fireplace surrounds, and exterior applications.
• Structural Integrity: Its strength and significantly lighter weight (compared to natural slabs of granite or marble) simplify installation, reduce structural load concerns, and allow for easier handling.
• UV Resistance: Porcelain is UV stable, ensuring color consistency for both interior and exterior wall cladding for years. 

3. Kitchen and Bath Countertops

Caesarstone Porcelain is a workhorse in high-use environments such as kitchens and bathrooms, offering an array of advantages that include:

• Heat Resistance: Porcelain is highly resistant to thermal shock and direct heat, making it suitable for placement near and behind cooktops.
• Hygiene: Its nonporous structure blocks the penetration of liquids and bacteria, providing a hygienic surface that is easy to clean without harsh chemicals.
• Stain Resistance: It is impervious to most common household spills and stains.
• Low Maintenance: Porcelain is highly resistant to etching from acidic liquid or cleaning products and does not require sealing to keep its benefits through the years even in the home’s busiest rooms.

4. Backsplashes and Showers

Porcelain simplifies the design of moisture-prone areas such as bathrooms, helping reduce both maintenance and hygiene concerns.

• Virtually Grout-Free: Using large porcelain slabs for backsplashes and shower walls drastically minimizes grout joints and limits areas where mold and mildew typically form.
• Waterproof: The material is practically impervious to water, making it the ultimate choice for continuous, zero-entry shower walls and tub surrounds.

Technical and Sustainable Specification

Specifying porcelain means choosing a material backed by rigorous technical, environmental, and health standards. It is certified to be low in volatile organic compounds, helping ensure better indoor air quality for your clients. Here are the features of porcelain and how it can benefit for your next project:
