Plaster Bone Porcelain Slabs​

For countertops, we recommend 12mm thickness as it provides excellent durability and structural integrity for daily use without requiring additional support. The 6mm option works beautifully for wall cladding and vertical applications where weight considerations are important. For flooring, 12mm thickness delivers the best performance for residential settings, 12mm is also ideal for heavy-duty commercial applications or outdoor installations. Our team at Nova Tile and Stone can help you select the optimal thickness based on your specific project requirements and installation conditions.

Yes, Plaster Bone porcelain slabs offer excellent heat resistance suitable for kitchen environments. While the material can withstand high temperatures without scorching or discoloration, we recommend using trivets or hot pads for extremely hot cookware as a best practice. The non-porous surface also resists thermal shock better than natural stone, making these large format slabs an ideal choice for busy cooking spaces where durability and safety matter most.

Maintenance is remarkably simple thanks to the non-porous surface of these organic look slabs. Daily cleaning requires only warm water and a mild pH-neutral detergent, with no special sealers or treatments needed. Unlike natural stone, porcelain resists staining from wine, coffee, oils, and acidic substances, so spills can be wiped away without concern. For tougher residue, a soft cloth or non-abrasive cleaner works perfectly. The matte finish hides minor scratches and maintains its elegant appearance with minimal effort, making it perfect for both residential and high-traffic commercial settings.

Yes, we can deliver slabs to any of the 48 states in the contiguous United States. Porcelain slabs require specialized packing and delivery using large trucks equipped for this purpose. We safely secure the slabs to an A-frame, load them onto 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. You can schedule a consultation to discuss delivery logistics and timing for your specific project needs.

Absolutely. While we offer store pickup at all four of our Nova locations, we require that you have a truck and A-frame that are properly rated to handle porcelain slabs safely. Large format slabs are substantial and require appropriate equipment for secure transport. We will assist you with loading the slabs onto your truck using our equipment, and you can take it from there. Our team can provide guidance on the necessary vehicle specifications and equipment requirements to ensure a safe pickup experience.
