PORCELAIN

Porcelain surfaces are celebrated for their unique properties, making them a versatile choice for various applications. Here are some key features:

  • Composition: Porcelain is made from refined kaolin clay, often mixed with feldspar and quartz, and fired at extremely high temperatures (up to 1,400°C or 2,300°F). This process creates a dense, durable material.

  • Durability: It is highly resistant to scratches, stains, and wear, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

  • Non-Porosity: Porcelain is non-porous, which means it resists water absorption and is easy to clean.

  • Heat and UV Resistance: It can withstand high temperatures and prolonged exposure to sunlight without fading or degrading.

  • Aesthetic Appeal: Porcelain surfaces come in a wide range of colors, patterns, and finishes, often mimicking natural materials like marble or wood.

  • Translucency: Thin porcelain can exhibit a delicate translucency, adding an elegant touch to certain designs.
