Slabs have their benefits vs. tile, and maybe you’ve struggled with not finding exactly what you want—whether it’s the aesthetic, the function, or the maintenance level. Our new Della Terra^® Porcelain Slabs fill the gaps between what you’re looking for and what you need.

Porcelain has been a long-sought-after material for many reasons for its durability, aesthetics, longevity, and low maintenance. Now you can enjoy it as a solid surface material without grout lines or fuss.

What Are Della Terra^® Porcelain Slabs?

Della Terra^® Porcelain Slabs are perhaps the most versatile in our collection for residential and commercial applications. The lack of grout makes for easy installation in kitchens and bathrooms as countertops, walls, showers, around fireplaces, and even outdoor spaces. Della Terra^® Porcelain Slabs are frost-proof and unaffected by UV exposure, making them perfect for enhancing your outdoor living spaces. In more than 30 colors and various patterns, including natural stone, this 12mm thick, innovative surface is a low-maintenance choice for your home or business space. To start designing the space of your dreams, we want to focus on a few of these stunning designs that can fit into your modern or traditional aesthetic (and any style in between!).

When it comes to maintenance, porcelain slabs are about as simple as it gets. Porcelain is a nonporous surface, so it does not require sealing like natural stone slabs. If using porcelain slabs, simple mopping or wiping with a pH-balanced neutral cleaner and warm water is enough. When done, thoroughly rinse and dry the surface. Omit any waxing, polishing, or buffing, and don’t use any scouring powder or vinegar (or other acidic materials) because this can negatively impact the porcelain slab’s luster and integrity.

Dark or Light Porcelain Slabs

Be it dark, light, solid, or natural stone-looking, there are options with Della Terra^® Porcelain Slabs for all areas of your home or business. Not only are there so many style options, but they pair beautifully with so many aesthetic preferences.

Another unique feature of these slabs is the finish. A polished finish is a high-gloss finish attained by machine-grinding and buffing the stone. This is a more common finish that you may see on countertops, creating a highly reflective surface. As opposed to a matte/soft surface that is non-reflective. Throughout the porcelain slab section, you’ll find many products that come in either finish. The slabs we’re going to highlight here have recommended uses for commercial and residential applications on interior floors (residential only), interior and exterior countertops, interior walls, exterior cladding, fireplaces, shower walls, steam showers, and pools & spas.

DT-Soapstone Dark Matte has a slightly mottled blue-grey background with fine white veining lightly interspersed throughout, going in both vertical and horizontal directions. These are common features of natural soapstone. This would look stunning if you’re in need of an accent or focal piece and not afraid of dark colors.

DT-Marvel Fior Di Bosco is available in both a Soft and Polished finish. This gorgeous mid-toned slab offers a good in-between color to dark and light and presents an amazing neutral hue. The background has light to medium tones of grey with light grey and gold webbing and veining throughout. The soft finish is produced out of the kiln and is smooth to the touch and non-reflective, while the polished finish has a high-gloss surface.

DT-Arabescato Viola Polished radiates a vibrant statement with its dramatic grey and violet veins and webbing sitting amongst a light cream and grey background. This veining mimics the diagonal movement typically found on Arabescato natural marble. It’s like the best of both worlds:  the look of marble with the low-maintenance benefits of porcelain.

DT-Taj Mahal in both the Soft and Polished finish has a more subtle, and less vibrant look than the previous porcelain slabs. This stunning slab features light cream to dark tan ribbons of color layered throughout in a horizontal pattern. There are beautiful accent layers of quartz crystals similar to Taj Mahal quartzite. The Soft version is smooth to the touch and nonreflective, while the Polished finish has a high-gloss surface.

DT-Calacatta Michelangelo is also available in both a Soft and Polished finish, and is the lightest of our featured products. This slab has a creamy white background with thin to moderately wide grey and gold veining in a diagonal progression. This slab is made to emulate the highly sought-after Calacatta marble.
