Porcelain & Dekton, beyond stone.
Ultra-compact surfaces that shrug off heat, sun and scratches. They're thin, light and remarkably versatile.
Is porcelain & dekton right for you?
Porcelain slabs are made by firing refined clays and minerals at extremely high temperatures. The surface is dense and non-porous, and it resists heat, UV, stains and scratches. Dekton by Cosentino takes the same idea further with ultra-compact sintered technology.
Because the slabs are large and thin, they're perfect for more than countertops: shower walls, fireplace surrounds, accent walls and furniture. And because they don't fade in the sun, they're one of the best choices for outdoor kitchens.

Care & maintenance
Clean with mild soap and water. Porcelain and Dekton are highly resistant to heat, UV and staining, but edges can chip from hard impacts, so choose eased or protected edge profiles for busy areas.

Porcelain & Dekton countertop questions
Is porcelain good outdoors?
Yes. Porcelain and Dekton are UV stable and heat resistant, which makes them excellent for outdoor kitchens and bars in the Southern California sun.
Can porcelain be used for shower walls?
Yes. Large-format slabs mean fewer grout lines and a seamless, spa-like look. See our bathroom and shower work.
Is porcelain fragile?
The surface is extremely hard, but thin slabs need expert fabrication and support, and edges can chip from hard impacts. We recommend edge profiles suited to how you'll use the space.
