Porcelain Countertops Installed for Homeowners in Metro Detroit

There’s a common misconception that porcelain is a dainty and fragile material. However, we’re here to bust this myth: porcelain is quite durable—so much so, that we proudly offer it as a countertop option. As a leading countertop fabricator and installer serving the Metro Detroit community, Granite & Marble Design offers porcelain countertops for homeowners wanting an elegant and low-maintenance option.

Pros of Porcelain

That’s right, porcelain isn’t just being used for fine china anymore. This material is actually engineered to be quite durable. It’s made from ceramic clay that contains various minerals, such as kaolinite and silica, which are then baked in temperatures ranging from about 2200 to 2650 degrees Fahrenheit. These extremely high temperatures produce a durable countertop material that is resistant to scratching, cracking, UV light, and—naturally—heat. So, you can place porcelain counters anywhere in your home, including the kitchen, and feel confident knowing that they will deliver a long-lasting performance that rivals that of other hardwearing countertop materials.

Another major benefit of porcelain is the fact that it is nonporous. Many natural stones need to be sealed periodically when used for countertops, whereas porcelain does not. Instead, it naturally resists staining all on its own, making it a low-maintenance and hassle-free choice for your home.

Picking Your Porcelain Counters

Because it is a man-made material, porcelain can be crafted in many different colors and patterns, and can even mimic the look of other materials such as marble, wood, or steel. Just let us know what vision you have for your porcelain countertops and we’ll help you bring it to life.

Feel free to contact Granite & Marble Design with any questions you have about our porcelain countertops. We look forward to speaking with you and updating your Metro Detroit, Michigan, home with these stunning counters.
