Frequently Asked Questions
Polished, satin, Levigato Pearl and matte finishes across marble, stone, concrete, metallic and plain-colour effects. For the full picture, see our porcelain slabs UK guide.
Mitred edges give the popular chunky look; bullnose, chamfered and pencil-round profiles are also available. Your fabricator will advise which suits your design and thickness.
Satin and matte finishes are the most forgiving in heavy use; polished surfaces give maximum drama to marble-effect veining. All are non-porous and food-safe.
Our slabs are not slip-resistant as standard. They can still be used for flooring in private residential homes, and we can offer advice on treatments available to meet commercial-standard slip requirements.
