Magellano Porcelain Slabs

For countertops, we recommend 6mm or 12mm thickness options which provide the structural integrity and premium feel expected in kitchen and bathroom surfaces. The 6mm thickness works beautifully for most residential countertop applications, while 12mm delivers an ultra-luxe, substantial edge profile. For wall applications, the 6mm thickness is ideal as it reduces weight while maintaining the stunning translucent onyx effect. Floor installations typically use any thickness depending on traffic expectations and subfloor conditions. Our team at Nova Tile and Stone can assess your specific project requirements and recommend the optimal thickness.

Magellano quartzite look slabs deliver all the visual beauty of natural quartzite with significantly superior performance characteristics. Unlike natural stone which requires regular sealing, is porous, and susceptible to etching from acidic substances, Magellano's porcelain composition is completely non-porous, stain resistant, and requires no sealing ever. It resists scratches, heat, and UV exposure far better than natural materials. You get the magnetic aesthetic of rare stone combined with the practical durability that modern life demands. This makes Magellano an intelligent choice for busy kitchens, commercial spaces, and high-traffic areas where natural stone would require constant maintenance and show wear over time. 

Yes, Magellano porcelain slabs are suitable for outdoor applications thanks to their exceptional UV resistance, freeze-thaw durability, and complete impermeability to water. The colors will not fade under direct sunlight, and the non-porous surface prevents water absorption that could lead to cracking in cold climates. This makes these  Patagonia look slabs from our collection perfect for exterior feature walls, covered outdoor kitchens, and patio surfaces. The polished finish maintains its luster even with weather exposure. For specific outdoor project requirements, particularly in extreme climates, consult with our technical specialists who can recommend optimal thickness and installation methods to ensure decades of flawless performance.

Absolutely! We deliver slabs to any of the 48 states in the contiguous United States. Porcelain slabs require special packing and delivery on a large truck to ensure they arrive in pristine condition. 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 safely. Our logistics team coordinates every detail to guarantee your Magellano premium large format slabs arrive damage-free and on schedule. 

Absolutely! While we offer store pickup at all four of our Nova locations in Minden, Reno, Fernley, and Sacramento, we do require that you have a truck and A-frame that are properly rated to handle large format porcelain slabs safely. These slabs are substantial in size (160x320 cm or 162x324 cm) and require specialized transport equipment. We will assist you with loading the slabs onto your truck using our equipment, and you can take it from there. If you're unsure about your vehicle's capacity or need guidance on proper transport methods, our team is happy to discuss your options and potentially arrange professional delivery instead.
