4 Dazzling Ways to Use Porcelain Outside the Kitchen
4 Dazzling Ways to Use Porcelain Outside the Kitchen
It’s no surprise that Archant Porcelain has become one of the most desirable and sought-after materials for kitchen benchtops, splashbacks, and islands in New Zealand. With unbeatable durability, striking style, and long-lasting value, porcelain has been making big waves in the design industry for quite some time. As European designers will attest to, porcelain can be used in a wide variety of applications that extend beyond the kitchen.
While there’s no shortage of ways to use our large-format porcelain, we thought it would be helpful to list four stellar ideas. As you’ll see, porcelain can be used throughout a home to create a sophisticated aesthetic.

1) Large Format Porcelain for Flooring
Porcelain’s robust durability makes it a fantastic choice for high-traffic areas. Our large format porcelain slabs are strong. Everything made from this material is built to last, including spectacular floors. With less visible seams and minimal grout required, they are easy to clean and maintain. Like all our porcelain products, it’s resistant to stains, scratches, and heat for added peace of mind. The large size of each sheet makes for efficient use of both materials and labour. There’s also no limit to styles, patterns, and colours to choose from.
This stylish and versatile solution offers countless practical benefits. The result is a flooring option that stands apart in all the ways that matter most, durability, style, maintenance, and cost.


2) Stylish Feature Walls
Porcelain can be used throughout a space with stunning elegance. This world-class material makes it possible to create a high-end aesthetic without the exorbitant cost of natural stone. In 6mm thickness, Archant Porcelain is lightweight, and can easily be applied as a unique and beautiful wall covering. This vertical application brings a space to life with a brilliant appeal. Whether you’re looking to add a unique element to a feature wall, or you want to make a bold statement, large-format porcelain can be a game changer. While the overall appearance is luxurious, the space is welcoming and serene.



3) Transform a Bathroom with Porcelain
Porcelain can infuse a bathroom with a hint of luxury. Our large format slabs make for a seamless appearance, offering the best of both form and function. The unique design flexibility of our porcelain sheets makes them an excellent choice for a wide range of applications. It’s projects like these where our decorative porcelain surfaces truly shine. From modern shower walls and flooring to handcrafted vanities, bath surrounds, and more, porcelain can be used to craft the bathroom of your dreams.



4) Outdoor Areas for Dining and Entertaining
Beautiful outdoor spaces can add distinct value to a home while expanding your overall living space. Still, the New Zealand sun can be harsh with damaging UV rays. To prevent outdoor dining and cooking areas from fading and discolouring, there is only one suitable option: porcelain. Unlike most other materials on the market today, porcelain is impervious to ultraviolet rays. It also has a lifetime warranty. Whether it’s positioned in direct sun or shade, you can rest easy knowing your porcelain surface will last for the long term.


How Do You Plan to Use Porcelain?
As a versatile and stylish solution with countless practical applications, it’s challenging to find a better option than porcelain. Your tile can be selected to match an existing space for a cohesive look or to bring bold contrast. Add to this a long-lasting durable finish, and you have a material that’s suitable for all areas. With its ease of maintenance nature and quick clean-up, it’s clear to see why porcelain is a favourite choice amongst thousands of our clients around New Zealand.
