No wonder architects and designers love porcelain. Exceptionally hard and dense, the material resists scratching, chipping, and breaking and is impervious to water, mold, and mildew. The high-performance material has also gotten a high-style makeover over the last few years, courtesy of manufacturers worldwide developing product that captures the look and texture of more delicate finishes such as leather as well as decorative treatments like fabric and wallpaper. The result? A design-forward surfacing material suited to the most demanding installations, from airports to building facades. Peruse our many options, which range from classic faux stones to fashion-inspired prints.
