What Is a 20mm Porcelain Slab?

Porcelain slabs are crafted from natural minerals like kaolin, feldspar, and quartz, kiln-fired under extreme pressure and heat to create a non-porous, highly resilient material. A 20mm porcelain slab (approximately ¾ inch thick) offers exceptional structural integrity without compromising on refined style.

This increased thickness over standard 6–12mm slabs allows for applications where extra durability and load-bearing capacity are necessary—like porcelain countertops, kitchen islands, outdoor bars, fireplace surrounds, and even furniture surfaces.

With their robust construction and high resistance to scratching, staining, and UV light, 20mm porcelain slabs effortlessly withstand the demands of both indoor and outdoor spaces, offering a compelling alternative to traditional stone and engineered surfaces.

Premium Applications for 20mm Porcelain Slabs

Whether specified by an architect or selected by a homeowner, 20mm porcelain slabs elevate projects across a wide range of applications:

• Kitchen Countertops and Backsplashes: Achieve stone-inspired beauty with none of the sealing or staining concerns.
• Bathroom Vanities and Walls: Combine luxury and cleanliness in shower walls or floating vanities.
• Furniture and Custom Surfaces: Create bespoke statement tables or consoles with powerful visual impact.
• Outdoor Kitchens and Cladding: 20mm slabs are remarkably resistant to weather changes, making them ideal for exterior applications.
• Fireplaces and Feature Walls: Add bold texture and modern design to your interiors while benefiting from porcelain’s fire resistance.

Zicana Boutique also offers fully customized solutions via our Made-to-Measure Custom Countertops program, enabling architects and designers to transform ideas into tailored surfaces with unmatched precision.

Design Styles: Endless Possibilities with Porcelain

One of the major advantages of 20mm porcelain slabs is their unmatched aesthetic flexibility. Thanks to advanced digital printing technologies, these slabs can realistically emulate a striking variety of stone and texture profiles, including:

• Calacatta and Statuario marbles for timeless elegance
• Concrete and industrial looks for modern appeal
• Vein-cut travertine or limestone appearances for organic harmony
• Rustic oxidized metals or wood grains for bold, eclectic designs

Top-tier porcelain lines from Zicana Boutique—like those found in our Florim Collection and Fiandre Collection—exemplify craftsmanship and aesthetic sophistication. These exclusive lines offer large-format designs that minimize seams, enhancing spatial continuity and visual flow.

Porcelain vs. Quartz and Natural Stone: Making the Right Choice

While porcelain is relatively new to the surface market compared to granite and quartz, it holds its own—and often exceeds expectations—when evaluating technical performance.

Porcelain’s technological edge is particularly useful in outdoor kitchens, commercial settings, or light-filled rooms, where UV stability and resilience are non-negotiables.

FAQs: 20mm Porcelain Slabs Explained

What are the benefits of choosing 20mm thick porcelain over thinner slabs?

The 20mm thickness provides enhanced structural strength, making it more suitable for self-supporting applications like countertops and tabletops. It resists bending, thermal shock, and impact better than its thinner counterparts.

Can I use 20mm porcelain slabs outdoors?

Yes, porcelain is frost-resistant, UV-stable, and largely impervious to moisture. That makes it an ideal option for outdoor kitchens, facades, and hardscape features in all climates.

Does porcelain require sealing like natural stone?

No. Unlike granite or marble, porcelain is non-porous and doesn’t require sealants or waxing. This makes it a smart choice for busy households and commercial spaces.

Are porcelain slabs more expensive than quartz or granite?

While costs can vary by brand and design, porcelain is often competitively priced with quartz and granite, especially when you factor in its low maintenance and longevity. For even more value, take advantage of our promo code WELCOME100 for $100 off any order over $1,000.
