IS PORCELAIN COUNTERTOP PRACTICAL?
Porcelain, which has been a steady part of both exterior and interior architecture for centuries and is on the rise in trends again, keepsthe popularity in kitchen countertops.It is not surprising that porcelainis highly preferred in interior architecture, by impressing with its elegance and versatility! Let us look at the versatility together.
Kitchens, and especially kitchen countertops, are an indispensable area of our home. We want this area to appeal to us in every way, as we spend a momentous part of our daily time. Porcelain countertops, designed with a modern delicacy, can meet our preferences owing to their wide colour range and size. The pigments supplemented in the manufacturing process of porcelain with the potentiality provided by technology take porcelain out of the simplicity and turn it into patterns that imitate natural stones or models that give them a look in the form of natural materials such as wood.With a variety of colours, finishes and polished, unpolished surface choices, it always adapts to your kitchen design.
We want kitchen countertops to keep their novelty and stand the test of time as if it were the first day. Countertops exposed to variable temperatures, UV rays, and chemicals, must be resistant and rigid to all these. Porcelain countertops arehighly resistant to thermal shocks like hot pots as they are heated and processed above approximately 538°C, and resistant to abrasion and matting caused by chemicals (acidic foods and beverages) because they are compressed using kaolinite-heavy clay materials with a pressure of 4,000 kg/m2. The fact that it is stronger than granite, harder than quartz countertops,longer lasting than ceramic tile and laminate makes it an indispensable material for kitchen countertops. Thanks to its strong, dense material and non-porous structure,porcelain, which does not absorb liquids, is a material that is safely preferred in wet volume areas such as bathrooms. They keep their colour and texture without causing any staining on the countertop. Porcelain countertops can be easily cleaned with the help of a wet cloth and warm water without requiring intensive care, as they do not have maintenance problems and usage restrictions thanks to their extensive dimensions and sizes. This expands the application areas of porcelain and leads to the frequent use of porcelain not only in the kitchen,but also in areas such as bathroom countertops-walls and floors, exteriors, and fireplaces.Its antimicrobial structure is quite safe for food. On the porcelain kitchen countertop, which is resistant to impacts, youcan safely slice your food as you wish without concerns about scratching and crumbling problems.
Porcelain countertops with stunning, timeless, durable and many more positive qualities are also favourable interms of price per square meter. If you want to turn your kitchen countertop into the most significant part of your kitchen, you can choose porcelain with excellent properties that add an aesthetic stance.
