All About Porcelain
Designed and crafted in Italy, HanStone Porcelain surfaces are high-performance, large-format porcelain slabs, celebrated for their exceptional durability and exquisite designs.
What are Porcelain Slabs?
Porcelain slabs are large-format surfaces crafted from a refined blend of clay, feldspar, and quartz, fired at extremely high temperatures (up to 1300°C). This process produces a compact, non-porous material with exceptional strength and durability. HanStone Porcelain exemplifies these qualities, offering outstanding technical performance, easy maintenance, and unmatched versatility. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, it opens the door to endless design possibilities. Whether used in kitchens, bathrooms, or exterior facades, HanStone Porcelain elevates any space with timeless style and sophistication.
