PORCELAIN

What is Porcelain?

Porcelain is a highly refined and durable ceramic material that is renowned for its exceptional strength, translucency, and aesthetic appeal.

Originating in ancient China, the production of porcelain involves the precise blending of kaolin, a type of white clay, with other mineral ingredients, which are then fired at extremely high temperatures. This process results in a material that is not only visually striking but also highly resistant to chipping, cracking, and staining.

Its timeless elegance and unparalleled durability have solidified porcelain's status as a premier material in the world of high-end design and craftsmanship.

Care and Maintenance of Porcelain

cleaning the countertop For ordinary cleaning, a cloth dampened with water and neutral soap is perfectly adequate. For more persistent or burned-on stains, we recommend moistening the dirt with hot water (to soften any residues) and then rinsing or removing with a clean cloth.

It is also preferable to use a sponge with soft fibres of the type normally used for cleaning glass ceramic and glassware in general. Particularly abrasive sponges or steel wool must be avoided at all costs. Infinity recommends against treating the slabs with caustic soda or products with a pH value above -1. If bleach is used, rinse with plenty of water and never leave the product to remain in contact with the surface of the Infinity slab.

For the correct maintenance of the slabs, Infinity recommends that you abide by the following precautions:

  • Always use pan stands, coasters and napkins;

  • It is wise not to cut foods directly on the countertop but to use chopping boards for this purpose;

  • Never drag household appliances, knives and utensils in general across the countertop, as this may leave steel stains that are difficult to remove;

  • Never use ceramic knives directly on the countertop
