About Porcelain (compact surface) countertops are comprised of raw materials found in glass, porcelain and quartz and fused under high pressure creating a material that is dense and compact. Ideal for indoor and outdoor applications. Veining and movement are only on the surface on most colors, with little to no veining on the edges and cutouts. How It’s Made Porcelain is made from very fine clay that is fired at high temperatures to remove more moisture from the tile resulting in a hard and dense tile. Derivati porcelain is manufactured, and can have the look of concrete, marble, and more! Porcelain Benefits

Clean with soap & water, or an approved cleaner on a regular basis. Clean spills as they happen to avoid staining. Avoid waxes, oil soaps, impregnating agents, or other treatments because its application is unnecessary. • Seams: Seams can be more visible on porcelain countertops than other materials. • Pattern: Veining and pattern is not through body. The base color will be visible in cutouts, edges, etc. To allow for pattern to be visible on the edge of the countertop the customer must select a mitered edge.
