Kitchen islands with porcelain stoneware countertops

Porcelain stoneware is a high-quality material, perfect for wall and floor coverings, but also for creating countertops in kitchens and bathrooms. Thanks to its specific certification for food contact, Emilgroup slabs are a safe and reliable choice, ideal even for surfaces that are exposed to daily use.

What are the benefits of choosing a porcelain stoneware countertop for your kitchen island?

Choosing a porcelain stoneware countertop means investing in a durable material with an elegant finish. But that's not all:

• It’s a fantastic option for a surface that’s resistant to scratches, impacts, and abrasions. Thanks to its high heat resistance, you can place hot pots and pans directly on the countertop without worrying about damaging it.
• It’s also liquid-proof: it doesn’t absorb water, oil, or wine, reducing the risk of stains.
• It’s super easy to clean with just a mild detergent – porcelain stoneware doesn’t require any special treatments over time.
• With a wide range of textures, effects, and colors, you can create elegant, modern, and personalized looks.

The slabs, like those in the Level collection, also ensure great results and versatility for every space, allowing you to create not just kitchen countertops but also porcelain stoneware tables with a unique design.

Marble effect kitchen countertops: innovative solutions for every space

Marble has always been a symbol of elegance and prestige, but today there's a more versatile, durable, and affordable alternative: marble-effect porcelain stoneware. This option combines the natural beauty of marble veins with the technical performance of porcelain, making it ideal for kitchen countertops.
The effect closely mimics the deep, natural veins of marble, available in iconic colors and finishes – matte or glossy – to suit everything from classic to modern or minimalist kitchens.
Plus, the textures in the collections allow you to create kitchens with an eccentric and innovative style, blending different materials and patterns in an original way.
