Statuario Principe Porcelain Slabs

Statuario Principe porcelain slabs are available in two thickness options: 12mm for standard countertops, walls, and floors, and 20mm for heavy-duty installations requiring maximum strength. Your choice depends on the application and structural requirements. Our team at Nova Tile and Stone can help you determine the ideal thickness for your specific project based on load requirements and installation location.

Statuario Principe porcelain slabs replicate the aesthetic beauty of natural Statuario marble while offering superior performance characteristics. Unlike natural stone, these slabs are non-porous, eliminating the need for periodic sealing. They resist staining, etching from acidic substances, and scratching better than natural marble. The color and veining remain consistent across slabs, providing design predictability. Additionally, porcelain slabs are suitable for outdoor applications and high-moisture environments where natural marble may be problematic, as recognized by organizations like the National Kitchen and Bath Association.

Yes, Statuario Principe porcelain slabs are highly heat-resistant and can withstand temperatures up to 500°F without damage. While the material itself resists heat, we recommend using trivets or hot pads for extremely hot cookware as a best practice to protect the surface finish over time. The slabs will not crack, discolor, or suffer thermal shock from typical kitchen heat exposure, making them ideal for busy cooking environments where hot pots and pans are frequently placed on countertops.

Yes, we can deliver slabs to any of the 48 states in the contiguous US. Porcelain slabs require special packing and delivery on a large truck. We safely strap the slabs to an A-frame, load them on one of our trucks, and deliver them directly to your fabricator's address. Please ensure your fabricator has a forklift and slab boom or clamp on site to unload the slabs. Our delivery team coordinates timing and provides detailed logistics support to ensure safe arrival.

Absolutely. While we do offer store pickup at all four of our Nova locations, we do require that you have a truck and A-frame that are properly rated to handle the porcelain slabs. We will assist you with loading the slabs onto your truck, and you can take it from there. Our locations in Minden, Reno, Fernley, and Sacramento provide convenient access throughout Northern Nevada and California for customers who prefer to transport materials themselves.
