Porcelain Slabs as Kitchen Countertops

Porcelain slabs offer several environmental benefits when used as countertops in kitchens. They’re a sustainable material, as they can be recycled and are made from natural stone. Porcelain slabs can also help reduce waste as they require less energy and material during their extraction and production than other types of countertops, such as granite.

Another reason porcelain slabs are great for countertops is that they have a very durable surface that’s easy to keep clean. The smooth surface prevents food from sticking to it and makes it simple to wipe away any spills or stains without damaging the material itself. Being easy to clean, porcelain slabs require less water to clean than other materials.

Porcelain Slabs as Bathroom Stone and Tiles

Porcelain is an ideal material to adorn bathroom stone and tiles for several reasons, including its classy appearance, water resistance and strength. However, porcelain also happens to be one of the most sustainable materials as bathroom slab tile.

Reduce Your Carbon Footprint with Porcelain Slab Tile

The use of porcelain slabs will not only help you to create an elegant ambience in your home, but also reduce your carbon footprint by minimising mining costs and keeping natural stone out of landfill.

Natural stone is mined from the earth and is a finite resource that requires heavy machinery to extract it from its natural state. It’s also extremely expensive to transport because it’s so heavy! Natural stone also creates excessive wastage, as it is harder to find a smooth, perfect piece to use as a slab for your home. On the other hand, porcelain is machine made and therefore cute down wastage dramatically.

Porcelain slabs are made up of recycled materials and are lighter than natural stone, which also makes them easier and more efficient to transport.

An Elegant and Recyclable Material

Porcelain slab tiles are easy to recycle as well. If you have an existing slab tile that has been damaged or has cracked due to age or wear-and-tear, it can be recycled into new products instead of being discarded in landfills. When your worn-out slab is recycled into something new, it cuts down on carbon emissions associated with creating new products from scratch.

Porcelain slabs are a great alternative to natural stone. They’re more environmentally friendly, durable, easy to clean and much cheaper than granite or marble countertops. Call Lusso Stone today on 07 3607 3179 to learn more about the environmental advantages of using Porcelain!
