• Hygienic and Non-Porous: Bacteria and moisture cannot penetrate porcelain, making it a preferred choice for wellness-focused bathrooms.
• Customized Finishes: From high-gloss to matte, porcelain slabs are available in a multitude of surface finishes to meet both aesthetic and safety standards, such as slip resistance in wet areas.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are porcelain slabs better than natural stone for showers?

Porcelain slabs offer unique advantages over natural stone, especially in wet areas. They are engineered to be non-porous, which means they do not require sealing and are more resistant to mold, mildew, and staining. While marble and granite exude timeless beauty, they're best suited for dry areas or well-ventilated showers when properly maintained. Porcelain, on the other hand, delivers top-tier performance with minimal maintenance.

How do I clean a porcelain slabs shower?

Cleaning is simple—use a soft cloth or sponge with a pH-neutral cleaner. Avoid abrasive tools or harsh chemicals, as these can dull the finish over time. Thanks to porcelain’s impervious nature, you won't need to scrub grout lines or seal the surface, making it a favorite for busy lifestyles.

What’s the average size of a porcelain slab?

Porcelain slabs typically come in large formats ranging from 48” × 96” to 63” × 126”, depending on the collection. These sizes allow for full-wall coverage in shower stalls and grand vertical installations without interruption.

Can I get custom cuts or shapes?

Yes. Zicana Boutique offers made-to-measure custom countertops and slabs, giving designers and contractors the flexibility to create anything from full-height shower walls to curved enclosures or specialty layouts. We welcome complex and bespoke requests.
