Porcelain is the best possible material for making kitchen countertops, because of its strength, non-absorbency and aesthetic quality. Drawing on the experience of the world-renowned ceramics group operating under the holding company Iris Ceramica SpA, SapienStone has become the first brand exclusively concerned with kitchen countertops for home and professional use

How to choose the best kitchen countertop? For homes and restaurants in any style, the choice of the best kitchen countertop is a decision of both practical and aesthetic importance.

The kitchen countertop is located in the most dynamic, flexible room in the home, and must always guarantee maximum cleanliness and hygiene.

These considerations lead to the conclusion that porcelain is the best possible material for making kitchen countertops.

Porcelain slabs stand out among all today’s surfaces for their strength and dependability, as well as their status as one of the most important materials in contemporary design.

Advanced technical and aesthetic performance come together in a single product!

SapienStone evolved out of a decade of experience in the Iris Ceramica Group with the aim of making the best porcelain kitchen countertops for the home and for professional use in cafés and restaurants.

The world’s first brand exclusively concerned with kitchen countertops, SapienStone makes a product "composed of ceramic clays and mineral colours which will not fade with time and are immune to the effects of heat, light and chemical cleaning and disinfecting products", without using coloured resins or varnish to add shine.

In terms of technical properties, SapienStone comes in a range of sizes suitable for creating all kinds of countertops, islands and peninsulas in kitchens and restaurants.

The many colours in the range permit use with all kinds of furnishing, and many of the colours are available in a choice of natural, glossy or semi-gloss finish.

The SapienStone kitchen countertop is a hygienic, non-absorbent surface that can be used directly in contact with food, with no need for cutting boards or other surfaces between the food and the counter.

An intrinsic quality of high-tech porcelain is scratch resistance "superior to that of other products such as wood, laminates and quartz surfaces, which scratch more easily".

It is also resistant to high temperatures (such as that of pots and pans and coffee pots), chemicals and acids (such as lemon juice and vinegar).

SapienStone kitchen countertops require no particular maintenance, just cleaning with an ordinary soap or cleaning product.

Other applications of SapienStone include bathroom surfaces and outdoor table-tops, in which the quality of the material remains unaltered over time despite weather and sunshine.
