Restroom Vanity & Walls
Feel confident in your selection and design a space that guests will not forget, all while providing a durable and beautiful focal point in a space. Curious about the slab size? SapienStone’s large format porcelain slabs are approximately 128” x 60” which make them suitable to cover large countertop areas and walls. Our slabs can be applied onto any surface you see fit! The only limitation is you cannot go inside of a fireplace box.
Fireplaces
Grocery Stores
Sapienstone porcelain slabs are an excellent choice for this type of commercial application because they are hygienic and safe for food storage. The unique low absorption properties of porcelain make it great for this purpose because it's easy to clean, difficult to stain and doesn't retain odors or bacteria like other materials might.
Bar Countertops and Accent Walls
Due to SapienStone’s 12mm (½”) thickness, our porcelain slabs are lighter weight than marble and granite making it much easier for the fabricator to work with, plus the body of the material has color pigmentation. As you may know, quarried stone has veins which are weak and may cause the natural stone to crack during fabrication and installation. Get creative with your porcelain install and incorporate it onto various places such as the bar top, backsplash, down the face of the bar, on table tops, in restrooms and more!
Kitchen / Buffet Countertops
Ok, now THIS is a creative way to use porcelain! Even with a simple idea, you can design porcelain slab countertop surfaces into something more; something unique.
The porcelain slab you select will only help to elevate the level of cleanliness in your commercial kitchen or buffet area. SapienStone’s is non-porous and fights against the absorption of spills, unlike other countertop materials, so your space will be left clean and hygienic with little to no maintenance required.
If your company or business has a need for a buffet bar space, you can transform our porcelain countertops into an induction cooktop which will keep the displayed food warm or cold at all times! Contact us to learn more about installing an induction cooktop with SapienStone porcelain.

The reason being, they offer a luxurious aesthetic that matches anyone’s style and they provide many performance benefits as mentioned.
