Porcelain Benefits
Porcelain is a versatile and durable material that is ideal for any area of your home, from kitchens and bathrooms to outdoor spaces. Porcelain’s strength ensures lasting beauty, while its non-porous surface keeps it hygienic and easy to maintain, making Porcelain a smart choice for modern living.
Heat Proof
Porcelain can withstand high temperatures, so you can place hot pots and pans directly on the surface without worrying about damage.
Stain & UV Proof

Durability
Porcelain is highly resistant to scratches, chips, and cracks, making it a long-lasting option that can handle everyday wear and tear.
Hygienic + Antibacterial
The non-porous nature of porcelain prevents the growth of bacteria, mould, and mildew, making it a hygienic choice for areas prone to moisture, like bathrooms and kitchens.
Fingerprint & Streak Free
Porcelain resists fingerprints and streaks, maintaining a clean and polished look with minimal upkeep, ideal for kitchens and bathrooms.
Eco-Friendly
Porcelain is made from natural raw materials, 100% recyclable, and crystaline silica free, with a production process that is relatively environmentally friendly compared to some other materials.
