Traditionally, porcelain wasn’t necessarily a sought after material for walls, countertops, backsplashes, and shower walls. Advances in its engineering and design have made its durability and strength match with a remarkable thinness. This makes it incredibly easy to match a less expensive, easier to handle material to the look of marble. Marble look porcelain tile and faux marble slab are now easy, strong, thin, and lasting solutions to a problem that used to cost an arm and a leg to solve.
Easy Installation
Porcelain slab is one of the easiest materials of its kind to install. You simply need a substrate prepared beforehand and an application of mortar contact cement. They’re also more easily customized and can be cut to specifications without as much on-site work as marble and stone require.
Cost
Porcelain is less expensive than marble but can achieve the same look. Marble look porcelain tile emulates the stone’s appearance to perfection, without the twin expenses of material cost and increased labor to install.
Strength + Thinness
Porcelain slab can be made thinner than its equivalents in marble and stone, yet it retains an exceptional strength. It has natural scratch- and chip-resistant qualities. It’s durable as a countertop, wall, or backsplash.
The Trend Will Last
Marble and other stones have never gone out of style. Since porcelain can perfectly emulate either of these looks, its beauty will last. Material choice for decorating is a minefield of fading fads and temporary trends. The wrong look can severely impact a home’s resale value in 10 or so year, whereas a lasting look allows that resale value to continue growing.
Marble Look
Faux marble slab doesn’t just look like that one popular type of marble you imagine in your mind. It can look like any type of marble – or any other stone for that matter. That gives you flexibility in the looks you choose to employ in your home at a fraction of the cost and with easier installation.
Fewer Joints
Porcelain slabs can cover surfaces as wide as 10 feet. This means they can be installed with minimal joints and need for grout. This reduction of grout lines creates a more cohesive, futuristic look. It also makes cleaning much quicker as there’s far less grout to care for and maintain.
