Porcelain Kitchen Worktops Ascot
With the introduction of Porcelain kitchen worktops, it continues to be the preferred choice. One of the main advantages of porcelain is its resistance to stains. This material is also less porous than natural stone varieties, which makes it less prone to staining. Due to the manufacturing process’ high temperature, porcelain can endure the heat of placing a hot pot on top of it. It also allows you to use leftover tiles for kitchen accessories such as coasters. In cold areas, porcelain can endure freeze-thaw cycles. Due to its low porosity, porcelain is incredibly dense. This material makes it easy to clean and prevents you from stressing out over cleaning up after a spill. The main ingredient used to make porcelain is clay, which is a combination of various minerals.
Some of these include Feldspar, Kaolinite, and Silica. These minerals work together to make porcelain incredibly durable and strong. The materials are then fired at high temperatures to create a dense and strong porcelain. This ensures that they’re incredibly durable and will not crack, scratch, or stain. Glazed porcelain countertops feature vibrant colours and patterns as they are manufactured. The choice between unglazed and glazed porcelain slabs is also dependent on the type of glaze used. Glazed slabs exhibit a more durable and resilient appearance, while reducing the likelihood of staining. Although porcelain worktops are incredibly durable, they can be incredibly thin and lightweight. The typical thickness of these slabs is around 6 to 12 millimetres. Since porcelain countertops are incredibly thin, they can be installed over existing kitchen or bathroom countertops. While porcelain slabs are durable and hard after they’ve been installed, quartz is more resilient. Both quartz and porcelain can be made in various patterns and colours, which can mimic natural elements such as marble. But porcelain has a better scratching or chipping resistance. Both porcelain and quartz countertops are non-porous, which means they can withstand acidic liquids. Although porcelain edges quartz due to its more resistant nature, both options are very easy to clean and require no resealing.
