Is It Cake?: Porcelain vs Natural Stone Edition😉
Porcelain slabs have made major strides. Today’s designs replicate natural stone with remarkable realism, including details like veining and texture.
Many homeowners are choosing porcelain for kitchen countertops when paired with invisible induction systems like .cook, where the cooktop is hidden beneath the surface. 👀
We’re also seeing these slabs replace the porcelain tile in shower walls, creating a sleek, grout-free look. Leathered finishes are especially popular because they help disguise water spots💦
Other favorite applications include:
•Fireplaces
•Statement walls
•Feature surrounds
Porcelain’s practical advantages:
•Doesn’t etch
•No sealing or treatments required
•Heat resistant (used outdoors and can sustain hot cookware with ease)
Can you tell which one is natural stone and which one is porcelain? 👇
