Why Choose Porcelanosa Porcelain Surfaces?
Porcelanosa’s XTONE surfaces are made using sintered porcelain, which is made by firing minerals at extremely high temperatures to develop dense, uniform surfaces. This makes XTONE porcelain highly resistant to everyday wear and tear that would leave other surfaces dull. There is no need to seal XTONE surfaces since porcelain is nonporous. Furthermore, due to being fired at a high temperature, Porcelanosa porcelain resists heat and thermal shock better than many other kitchen surface types. That means some slabs can handle hot cookware being placed directly on the surface.
Porcelain is also UV stable, making it ideal for patio counters, exterior cladding, and other outdoor applications. It will not yellow or fade with exposure.
What also separates XTONE slabs from other brands is the wide variety of colors, patterns, and textures available. XTONE mimics marble, stone, and concrete closely. Whatever your aesthetic taste, there is an XTONE porcelain slab that fulfills it. You can also choose from multiple finishes, including polished and matte, to enjoy a full range of design continuity throughout your space.

There are many benefits to choosing a porcelain surface like XTONE from Porcelanosa. Design is balanced with an unmatched value and beauty. Here are some of the advantages of choosing Porcelanosa-made porcelain slabs:
- Non-Porous and Stain-Resistant: Porcelanosa porcelain is, by nature, non-porous, resistant to moisture, stains, and acids, and also requires zero sealing. It’s ideal for high traffic kitchens.
- Scratch and Wear Resistance: Porcelain from Porcelanosa is engineered for life. It’s wear-resistant and won’t get easily scratched, dented, or abraded with daily use.
