Porcelain tiles as counter tops
Have loved some of the finishes you’ve shown using floor tiles as counter tops, and am interested to understand more.
Given the cost savings, and heat/waterproof properties of porcelain, can anyone share a little more on the installation procedure, challenges, and perhaps why this isn’t a more popular choice in general?
I’m particularly struggling to understand if a 20mm tile is simply supported around the edges like a traditional stone worktop would be, or if it needs to sit on top of marine plywood (or something similar)?
Could a tile support the weight of the Kamado for example if only supported around the perimeter?
Maybe it’s strong as an Rhino, and I’m over thinking it 🙂

Porcelain is definitely strong and durable, but when using it for countertops, especially with heavy items like a Kamado, it’s best to add support like marine plywood underneath. While it can be edge-supported, a solid backing ensures the weight is properly distributed and prevents cracking. The main challenge is the installation process, which requires careful cutting and the right adhesives. It’s not as common because of the installation complexity and cost, but when done right, porcelain is a fantastic, low-maintenance choice!
