FAQs: Italian Porcelain Slabs
Are Italian porcelain slabs more durable than natural stone?
Yes. Italian porcelain is non-porous, scratch-resistant, UV-stable, and heat-resistant. While natural stones like marble may etch or stain, porcelain maintains its integrity even under heavy daily use. Zicana’s curated collections are engineered for long-term performance.
Can I use Italian porcelain outside?
Absolutely. Many porcelain slabs are frost-resistant and UV-tested, making them ideal for outdoor applications such as patios, poolsides, and exterior facades. Choose from our Fiandre Collection for premium options designed for all weather conditions.
Is porcelain a good alternative to marble or quartzite?
For homeowners seeking a lower-maintenance yet luxurious finish, porcelain is an exceptional alternative. Finishes replicate premium marbles and quartzites in look and feel, with added technical benefits. For those who still love natural stone, explore our Quartzite Slabs Collection.
How do I clean and maintain porcelain slabs?
Italian porcelain needs only mild soap and water for daily cleaning. It resists stains, won’t etch from acids, and never needs sealing—making it ideal for both residential and high-traffic commercial spaces.
