Why You Should Consider Porcelain Countertops

28 Jan, 2019 | FORTE Porcelain |

Every homeowner who is renovating their kitchen has several important decisions to make. You need to choose the flooring, color scheme, appliances, and so much more. But countertops are always at the top of homeowners' lists of things to decide. Not only do they make a huge impact in the overall aesthetic of the room, but they also play a role in how easy it is to maintain your kitchen.

Porcelain countertops not only have a beautiful appeal, but are also durable and versatile. Here are some reasons why you should consider porcelain countertops, especially our FORTE Porcelain Collection by Francini Inc.

Aesthetic Value

Francini’s FORTE Porcelain Collection is beautiful and comes in a wide variety of colors with many grain patterns. You can choose dark gray, white, brown, or black, and there are several grain options. For instance, Calacatta Borghini FORTE Porcelain is white with brown veining, and the Marquinia is black with subtle veins of white. These beautiful colors provide a neutral background that coordinates with many decor styles.

Durability

One of the advantages of FORTE Porcelain Collection by Francini Inc. is that it is both strong and lightweight. Porcelain is also resistant to fire, which means that you can place a hot pan directly on the countertop surface without fear of scorch marks. It's also resistant to scratches, so you're less likely to scuff the surface as you work on it.

Versatility

Porcelain has a wide variety of applications. For instance, it can be used in kitchen countertops, but it can also be used as the countertop for the bathroom vanity. You can even put it in the kitchen or bar of your boat. The material is a beautiful addition to high-end restaurants and hotels, and it can even be used as a backsplash.

If you have a kitchen or bathroom that you're remodeling, consider porcelain for its many aesthetic benefits. But you should also choose it because it's a long-lasting material that you'll love for decades.
