Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Défense Porcelain Slabs
For countertops, the 12mm thickness provides excellent durability and is the industry standard for premium installations. This thickness offers optimal strength for overhangs and resists impacts during daily use. For flooring applications, 12mm is also recommended as it provides superior durability for high-traffic areas while maintaining the sleek profile that stone professionals prefer for seamless installations.
Défense porcelain slabs offer significant advantages over natural marble. Unlike natural stone, which requires regular sealing and is susceptible to staining from acidic substances, these porcelain slabs feature a non-porous surface that resists stains, scratches, and heat without any sealing required. You get the timeless beauty of marble with dramatically reduced maintenance demands and greater long-term durability.
Yes, Défense porcelain slabs perform excellently in indoor environments. Since we spend about 90% of our time indoors, choosing the right interior surface material matters for both health and aesthetics. Défense porcelain's non-porous surface does not harbor mold, mildew, or allergens, which are key concerns highlighted by the EPA's indoor air quality guidelines around source control. Unlike some natural stones that may require chemical sealants or emit VOCs, porcelain slabs contribute to cleaner indoor air. They are ideal for interior walls, flooring, kitchen surfaces, and bathroom applications where maintaining a low-pollutant environment is essential. Their stable composition supports healthy indoor spaces for children, the elderly, and those with asthma or respiratory conditions, all per EPA environmental standards.
Yes, we can deliver slabs to any of the 48 states in the contiguous U.S. Porcelain slabs require special packing and delivery on a large truck. We safely strap the slabs to an A-frame, load them on one of our trucks, and deliver them directly to your fabricator's address. Please ensure your fabricator has a forklift and slab boom or clamp on site to unload the slabs. Design professionals appreciate our attention to proper handling and transportation.
Absolutely. While we do offer store pickup at all four of our Nova locations, we do require that you have a truck and A-frame that are properly rated to handle the porcelain slabs. We will assist you with loading the slabs onto your truck, and you can take it from there. Our team ensures safe loading procedures that protect both the slabs and your vehicle during the process.
