Why More Clients Are Choosing Mitred Worktops with Infinity Porcelain

At Clay International, a trusted UK porcelain slab supplier, we’re seeing a clear design trend: clients are increasingly specifying mitred worktops, particularly when using Infinity Porcelain.

This detail speaks to both craftsmanship and contemporary design, and it’s fast becoming a standout feature in premium residential and commercial interiors. Paired with Infinity Surfaces, the result is sleek, architectural, and enduring.

What Is a Mitred Edge?

A mitred edge is created by cutting two porcelain slabs, typically the horizontal worktop and vertical return, at a 45-degree angle, so they meet cleanly. The result is a thick-edged appearance that looks like a single solid piece of stone.

This technique is especially powerful when using large format porcelain slabs like those from Infinity Porcelain, where consistency and scale create a flawless visual effect. The finish is seamless, and the aesthetic is modern and refined.

Why Clients Are Choosing It

A More Sculptural Look

Mitred edges enhance the feeling of solidity and intention. Whether on a kitchen island, vanity unit, or reception desk, they create a tailored, architectural look that feels high-end and considered.

Seamless Pattern Flow

With veined designs—such as those offered by Infinity Surfaces, mitred edges allow for pattern continuity across joins. The result is a visually uninterrupted surface that mimics natural stone, without its limitations.

Lightweight, High-Impact

Unlike solid stone, Infinity Porcelain is lightweight and easier to handle. Mitring allows for edge profiles up to 60mm or more without the bulk, delivering dramatic effect without added structural challenges.

Practical and Durable

Porcelain is non-porous and highly resistant to scratches, heat, UV and stains. A mitred edge, when fabricated well, is just as durable. It’s ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, and other hardworking interior spaces.

Popular Applications for Mitred Porcelain Worktops

We’re seeing mitred edges specified across a wide range of settings:

• Kitchen islands and peninsulas
• Waterfall ends and return panels
• Bathroom vanities and integrated basins
• Feature dining tables
• Retail counters and reception desks

In open-plan spaces, these surfaces often take centre stage. A mitred edge enhances their sculptural presence and aligns with today’s luxury interiors.

Mitred Worktop – Standout colours

Not all surfaces are created equal when it comes to mitring—some patterns lend themselves exceptionally well to this detail. With Infinity Porcelain, many of the most dramatic and luxurious finishes reveal their full potential when used with mitred edges.

Here are some standout colours from the Infinity Surfaces range that work particularly well with mitred worktops:

MB17 Calacatta Hermitage – A refined marble-look with bold grey/blue/brown veining, ideal for seamless, elegant mitred corners.

MB22 Calacatta Viola – Bold deep purple veining against a creamy base makes this a dramatic choice for kitchen islands and feature pieces.

MB20 Royal Peacock Green – Rich and dynamic, this exotic pattern delivers incredible visual movement across mitred joints.

MB25 Iconic Cipollino – With complex green and grey banding, mitring this surface enhances the sculptural quality of the veining.

MB18 Panda White – Striking black/green-on-white contrast that aligns beautifully around mitred corners, offering strong visual continuity.

MB19 Orobico Lux – A moody, luxurious stone with deep marbling and metallic undertones—perfect for statement worktops or bar areas.

MB15 Verde France – A bold green surface with organic veining that truly wraps beautifully when mitred on vanities or tabletops.

MB06 Calacatta Oro – Warm golden and grey veining makes this a timeless and sophisticated option for classic and modern interiors alike.

These colours not only look incredible in large formats—they’re especially impactful when used with mitred edge detailing, allowing veining and texture to flow uninterrupted across surfaces. These are a small selection of the range.
