Porcelain Worktops
What is Porcelain?
Porcelain is a highly durable and versatile material used for worktops, made from refined clay and minerals fired at extremely high temperatures. This process results in a non-porous, hard surface that is resistant to scratches, stains, and heat, making it ideal for kitchen and bathroom countertops. Porcelain worktops are also UV resistant, meaning they won't fade when exposed to sunlight, making them suitable for outdoor use. The material comes in various colours and finishes, often mimicking the look of natural stone, marble, or concrete, offering both aesthetic appeal and practical functionality.
What is the difference between Sintered Stone and Porcelain?
Sintered stone and porcelain are extremely similar surfaces, with their main difference being how they are manufactured. Both materials are non-porous, heat-resistant, and scratch-resistant, however, sintered stone is generally thicker and more dense, offering slightly more durability than porcelain. Porcelain is more versatile for certain applications like outdoor kitchens.
