A porcelain slab is an innovative and highly engineered material product that is designed to mimic the look of natural stone and marble. Porcelain slabs are made by mixing raw materials such as clay, feldspar, and quartz in correct proportions with water to create a slurry. This slurry is shaped into a desired size and thickness and then dried in a thermally insulated chamber at high temperatures. After which, it is given a finishing with desired texture & appearance. Porcelain slabs are commonly used for flooring in residential & commercial settings due to their high resistance to moisture, staining, and wear. Porcelain slabs are installed using various techniques, depending on their applications. For outdoor applications, porcelain slabs are often installed using a pedestal system, which involve placing of the slabs on a series of adjustable pedestals that allows for proper drainage and leveling. Porcelain slab surfaces do not fade or change color even when permanently exposed to direct sunlight or polluting atmospheric agents. Thus, they are also suitable in outdoor applications.
