Porcelain & sintered surfaces. A considered finish.
Houstone offers custom porcelain slab fabrication and installation for walls, fireplaces, showers and feature applications, as well as sintered stone countertops. These are project-specific surfaces: the exact product, installation setting and detailing should be discussed together.
Begin with the intended application
A shower wall, fireplace surround and countertop have different requirements. Describe the surface location, approximate dimensions and the effect you want to achieve. The material and proposed installation should be reviewed against the selected manufacturer’s guidance and the conditions on site.

- Shower slab enquiries
- Fireplace surrounds
- Specified sintered stone countertop projects
Work through the visible details
Large surfaces make the layout of the pattern, openings and corners especially noticeable. Discuss slab sizes, seams, exposed edges and transitions into other finishes. Share the relevant appliance or fireplace specifications where these influence the design. This is also the time to clarify preparation, waterproofing and the responsibilities of other trades for your particular scope.
Approve the complete arrangement
Ask to see the proposed material and layout before fabrication. Confirm which faces, edges, cutouts and installation works are included, along with access and site preparation. Porcelain and sintered stone are distinct product categories, so keep the exact manufacturer and product details with the project records. Follow their specific care and use guidance after installation.

Can every slab product be used for any application?
Do not assume so. The selected product and installation method should be checked for the intended location, dimensions and site conditions.
