A sophisticated blend of the raw materials used to produce the very latest in glass and porcelain. Porcelain materials are created using a high-tech process which represents an accelerated version of the metamorphic change that natural stone undergoes when subjected to high temperatures and pressure over thousands of years. These materials deliver superior hardness, are non-porous, do not promote the growth of mold, bacteria, and mildew, and encompass high resistance to scratches, abrasions, high temperatures, and staining. Porcelain and Ultra-compact material are seeing high growth in vertical applications including shower walls and fireplace surrounds.
