Milan Stone Porcelain Slabs

For kitchen countertops, we recommend 12mm or 20mm thickness Milan Stone slabs. The 12mm option provides excellent durability for standard countertop applications while maintaining a refined profile. The 20mm thickness delivers enhanced structural integrity, making it ideal for kitchen islands, overhangs, and areas requiring additional support. Both thicknesses offer identical performance characteristics including heat resistance, stain resistance, and scratch resistance. The choice often depends on aesthetic preferences and specific installation requirements. Our team can help you select the optimal thickness based on your cabinet structure and design vision

Milan Stone significantly outperforms natural grey stone in maintenance requirements. Unlike natural stone which requires regular sealing to prevent staining and moisture absorption, Milan Stone's non-porous porcelain surface eliminates sealing entirely. The advanced manufacturing process creates a completely impermeable surface that resists bacteria, water, and stains without any protective treatments. Cleaning requires only mild soap and water, compared to the pH-specific cleaners often needed for natural stone. Additionally, Milan Stone maintains consistent color and texture without the etching, staining, or patina development common in natural materials. This makes it particularly valuable in high-use areas like kitchens where both performance and aesthetics matter. For more information on kitchen surface standards, consult industry resources.

Yes, Milan Stone performs exceptionally well in outdoor environments. The 20mm thickness option is specifically engineered for exterior applications including patios, outdoor kitchens, and facade cladding. Infinity Surfaces porcelain demonstrates superior resistance to UV radiation, preventing the fading and color degradation common in other materials. The frost-resistant composition withstands freeze-thaw cycles without cracking or surface damage. Milan Stone's matte finish provides slip resistance even when wet, enhancing safety around pools and outdoor dining areas. The material's non-porous nature prevents moisture absorption that can lead to efflorescence or structural damage. Additionally, the urban grey palette complements contemporary outdoor designs while requiring minimal maintenance compared to natural stone or concrete alternatives. For guidelines on sustainable outdoor materials, refer to green building standards.

Yes, we can deliver Milan Stone slabs to any of the 48 states in the contiguous United States. Porcelain slabs require specialized packing and transportation on large trucks to ensure they arrive in perfect condition. We safely secure the slabs to an A-frame, load them onto one of our delivery vehicles, and transport them directly to your fabricator's address. Please ensure your fabricator has a forklift and slab boom or clamp on site to properly unload the slabs. We provide detailed delivery scheduling and work closely with your fabrication team to coordinate arrival times that match their workflow. Our experienced logistics team has delivered thousands of large format slabs across the country with an exceptional safety record.

Absolutely. We offer store pickup at all four Nova Tile and Stone locations including our Minden, Reno, Fernley, and Sacramento showrooms. However, transporting large format slabs requires proper equipment. You must have a truck and A-frame that are properly rated to handle the weight and dimensions of porcelain slabs safely. Milan Stone slabs measure up to 162x324 cm and require secure vertical transport to prevent damage. Our team will assist you with loading the slabs onto your truck using our equipment, ensuring they're properly secured for transport. We recommend contacting your preferred location in advance to schedule pickup and verify your vehicle's capability. Many customers work with professional transport services if they lack the necessary equipment. View our related products for additional options.
