Porcelain slabs.

Where slabs win. Benchtops without seams, shower walls without horizontal joints at chest height, full-height feature walls behind a TV or bedhead, vanity tops, and statement fireplace surrounds. Anywhere the joint between conventional tiles becomes the visual problem.

vs natural marble slabs.Porcelain matches the visual of marble, travertine and onyx at a fraction of the price — and importantly, doesn't etch from acidic spills, doesn't stain from oil, and never needs sealing. The trade-off: it's a manufactured product, not a geological one. The veining is exquisite but printed.

Common formats. 1620×3240mm and 1500×3000mm are the volume sweet spots — large enough to span most benchtops in one piece, small enough that two-person handling is possible. 1200×2400 is also common.

Specialist install required. Slabs cannot be installed by a standard tiler — they need slab fabricators with the right cutting equipment, suction lifting frames, and experience. We can connect you with installers in every Australian capital.

Pricing. Quoted per slab and per m². A 1620×3240 slab covers ~5.2m². Premium Italian ranges run from $1,200 to $3,500 per slab depending on design.

Lead times. Most slabs are stocked but the more exotic ranges are shipped from Italy on order — 8–12 weeks from order to delivery.
