Porcelain slabs are fired at extremely high temperatures into a dense, vitrified surface that is remarkably thin, light and strong. Produced in large formats with realistic marble, stone and concrete designs, porcelain has become one of the most versatile countertop materials in modern kitchen design.
For Lebanese kitchens — and especially for outdoor kitchens and sunlit spaces — porcelain has a decisive advantage: it is completely UV-stable, so colors never fade, and it shrugs off heat, stains and scratches. Large formats mean fewer joints, and thin 6 mm and 12 mm profiles open up cladding and furniture applications that heavier stone can't match.
SLABTEK supplies LEVEL large-format porcelain and Alfa Lux Italian porcelain stoneware, and fabricates both in our Zouk Mosbeh facility with the specialised cutting that porcelain demands.
Large-format porcelain slabs by the EmilGroup — Italian design in formats up to 324 x 162 cm, with marble, stone, metal and concrete looks for countertops, cladding and furniture.
Italian porcelain stoneware with refined marble-inspired designs — elegant surfaces for countertops, floors and walls.
Porcelain rewards precise fabrication — and punishes imprecise cutting. SLABTEK's 5-axis waterjet cuts porcelain cold with no chipping or heat stress, while our CNC machining centre handles sink cutouts, hob cutouts and polished edges. We cut 45-degree mitred edges for waterfall islands and built-up edge profiles, so thin porcelain reads as a substantial monolithic top.
Yes. Vitrified porcelain is one of the hardest, most scratch-resistant countertop surfaces available, and it doesn't stain or etch.
Porcelain is the best countertop material for outdoor use — it is completely UV-stable and unaffected by heat, frost or moisture, so outdoor kitchens keep their color for life.
Extremely. Porcelain is fired at over 1,200°C, so hot pans placed directly on the surface won't damage it.
SLABTEK carries large-format porcelain principally in 6 mm and 12 mm thicknesses. Thin slabs can be mitred and built up for a thicker countertop profile.
Yes — our CNC machinery cuts precise 45-degree mitres so the pattern flows continuously over the edge and down the sides of the island.
Yes. Porcelain requires specialised cold cutting; SLABTEK fabricates it on a 5-axis waterjet and CNC machining centre in Zouk Mosbeh, then installs the finished countertop.
