Buying guide: how to choose your porcelain countertop
Before you decide, There are several details that you should consider.. Here you have them so you don't miss anything:
- Thickness: if you are looking for a light and minimalist style, the thinnest thicknesses (6 mm) they are perfect. If you prefer a more robust look, choose models with support or reinforcement.
- Color and texture: light tones give a feeling of spaciousness. The dark ones, like black or anthracite, better hide small everyday stains.
- Finish: the matte hides fingerprints and marks. The shine is more attractive, but requires a little more care.
A practical recommendation: Always ask for physical samples and look at them with the light of your kitchen. What you see on a screen doesn't always look like the real thing.
Porcelain vs.. granite, quartz and laminate: direct comparison
It is normal that you consider other options before deciding.. Look at these differences:
- Granite: It is beautiful and natural, but it needs treatment so that it does not absorb liquids. Porcelain tile saves you that maintenance.
- Quartz: It has varied colors and is hard, but direct heat can damage it. If you cook a lot, porcelain is safer.
- Laminate: It is cheaper and has many designs, but it doesn't hold up to cuts the same way, heat or humidity. Porcelain lasts longer and maintains its appearance over time.
