Across the U.S. and Europe, large format porcelain tile has become a beloved option for an extensive list of design applications. Owing to its impressive durability, easy maintainability and many other favorable features, porcelain is now a top contender for design projects like kitchen countertops, bathroom vanity tops, shower and tub surrounds, fireplaces, floors and more. Of particular popularity among discerning homeowners is the porcelain slab shower – a stunning, decidedly modern choice that’s as hardwearing as it is beautiful. The brand new Large Format Porcelain Tile Collection – Opulith® from Cosmos SurfacesTM includes something for every taste, project and budget.
What Makes Porcelain So Wonderful for Shower Walls & Floors?
The selection of materials for shower walls and floors can be overwhelming. If you’re currently considering several different options for your bathroom renovation, here’s why porcelain should be a standout on your list:
- Very dense and resistant to water absorption
- Resistant to scratches, stains and chips
- Retains heat well
- Requires little maintenance
- Available in a wide range of patterns and colors
- Very easy to install in slab form
- Due to the size of the slabs, the number of grout lines are greatly reduced
Another great thing about using large format porcelain tile to give your shower a facelift? This durable material can be installed over existing stone, meaning you may be able to skip the work of removing your old shower walls!
Cleaning Your Porcelain Slab Shower
As mentioned above, porcelain is incredibly easy to take care of, which is a must-have quality for your shower. It’s safe to use any type of gentle multipurpose cleaner in a porcelain shower. Just be sure to wipe your porcelain shower dry after cleaning to avoid unwanted water marks.
