Porcelain kitchen worktops

Porcelain stoneware in the kitchen

Porcelain stoneware is one of the most avant-garde materials in the business: in the past it was used only for the construction of floors and walls but now many people choose it also for the creation of kitchen worktops.

The porcelain stoneware kitchen top was born thanks to the development of technology over the years. It is composed of a mixture of natural materials cooked at over 1,200 degrees and is extremely resistant to thermal shocks.

It is composed of sheets of ceramic glued to a multilayer support through resins and has a monolithic appearance: it seems a single continuous block that gives a sense of continuity to the entire kitchen composition.

The choice of the kitchen top focuses above all on the material of which it is made as the kitchen is an environment lived at 360 degrees, which is why it is good to opt for a material that is certainly aesthetically pleasing, but also resistant and long-lasting.
