Call UsIs Porcelain Stone Durable and Long-Lasting?
Porcelain stone is known for its durability and longevity. It's often considered a stronger and more durable material than natural stone like marble or granite.
Here are some reasons why porcelain stone is so durable:
- High density: Porcelain is made from dense, refined clay fired at very high temperatures, making it resistant to scratches, stains, and chips.
- Non-porous: Porcelain stone is generally non-porous, meaning it doesn't absorb liquids easily. This makes it resistant to stains and moisture damage.
- Scratch resistance: Porcelain stone is highly resistant to scratches, even from sharp objects.
- Durability: Porcelain tiles can withstand heavy foot traffic and other wear and tear, making them suitable for high-traffic areas like kitchens and bathrooms.
However, while porcelain stone is highly durable, it's not completely indestructible. With proper care and maintenance, you can ensure that your porcelain stone flooring or countertops last for many years.

How Is Porcelain Stone Installed?
Porcelain stone installation is a multi-step process that requires careful planning and execution. Here's a general overview:
- Preparation:
- Surface preparation: The surface to be tiled must be clean, level, and free of any debris or imperfections. This might involve removing existing flooring, patching cracks, or leveling the surface.
- Underlayment: In some cases, an underlayment might be necessary to provide a smooth and even base for the tiles.
- Layout:
- Planning: We will plan the layout of the tiles to ensure a visually appealing and efficient use of the material. This might involve considering factors like tile size, patterns, and any design features.
- Installation:
- Adhesive application: A suitable adhesive is applied to the prepared surface, following the manufacturer's instructions.
- Tile placement: The tiles are carefully placed onto the adhesive, ensuring they are level and aligned.
- Grouting: Once the adhesive has set, grout is applied between the tiles to fill the gaps and provide a finished appearance. The grout is often sealed to protect it from stains and moisture.
The specific steps and techniques involved in porcelain stone installation can vary depending on factors such as the type of porcelain stone, the installation location, and any special design requirements. It's always best to consult with a professional installer like Aust Fabrication for a detailed estimate and to ensure a high-quality installation.
