What are Porcelain Countertops?
Porcelain countertops are made from ceramic clay and mineral coloring which makes it a highly durable and non-porous surface. They are very heat, scratch, and UV (sunlight) resistant. Because of this, porcelain is an excellent material for outdoors. It’s a non-porous material which can look like natural stone with today’s technology. Porcelain has become much more popular recently, especially in Europe. Although porcelain slabs are usually thinner than most other materials, it’s a great material for your kitchen countertops.

Caring for Porcelain
Porcelain needs very little care. You just need to clean it with soap and water, and it’ll last for many years to come. Porcelain is not a porous material, so it does not have to ever be sealed. If you take care of your countertops, they will last a very long time.
