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 🙂

Hi Wayne,


Porcelain slabs are good for worktops without the cost of granite or dekton.

The pros:

Cheaper to buy

Easy to install (laid on cement base)

Perfect for outdoor use

Hard wearing

Good choice of colours


Cons:

There will be a join where every tile meets

Cut edges don't look great. We try to design the kitchen so that all edges on show are machined.


Installation wise, they sit on top like a normal worktop, they don't need to sit on ply or a base. They are very strong and will support the weight of a kamado. That sais, we normally put a central support under our worktops if there's a kamado going on top.


many thanks
