FAQs

Are porcelain kitchen countertops perfect for use?

One of the primary benefits of porcelain countertops is that they do not absorb bacteria or liquids due to their non-porous structure. Therefore, they are easy to clean and hygienic, making them perfect for food preparation. Due to their chemical-resistant properties, acidic or alkaline substances do not impact these surfaces.

Are porcelain bathroom countertops practical for usage?

These countertops are non-porous, stain and water-resistant, making them ideal for use in bathrooms and other wet areas. Moreover, these are easy to clean and durable.

Why is porcelain considered a sustainable material?

The increasing popularity of porcelain is directly related to its sustainability, as it can be recycled into other materials at the end of its service life. It is an environmentally friendly product, being 100% natural and made of clay-based materials.

Why is porcelain considered a low-maintenance material?

Porcelain does not need any sealing or waxing to ensure its protection, maintaining its appearance for a long time. Moreover, it has relatively more natural resistance to UV rays, temperature, scratches, and stains, making it a low-maintenance material.
