How much does large-format porcelain cost?
As a stone fabricator, one of the most common questions we receive is, "how much does large-format porcelain cost?" The cost of sintered stone can vary depending on several factors, including the brand, color, and application.
Brand: Different manufacturers offer different prices for porcelain slabs. Some brands are more expensive than others, but they may offer unique features such as a wider range of colors, patterns, or finishes. You may find that certain brands are more expensive due to their reputation for quality or their popularity in the market.
Color: The color of the porcelain can also impact the cost. Certain colors may be more popular or in demand, while others may be less common. Rarer colors or patterns may cost more due to their uniqueness and limited availability.
Application: The cost of large-format porcelain can also vary depending on the application. For example, using sintered stone for countertops or flooring may cost more than using it for a backsplash or accent wall. The size and thickness of the slab needed for the application can also affect the overall cost.
On average, porcelain projects can cost anywhere from $85 to $150 per square foot, but this price range is just an estimate. It's important to get a detailed quote from your fabricator that includes the cost of the material, installation, and any additional services or customization that you may require.
In summary, the cost of large-format porcelain depends on several factors such as the brand, color, and application. As a stone fabricator, we recommend that you work closely with a fabricator to determine the best option for your project that fits within your budget.
What are the benefits of large-format porcelain?
Large-format porcelain come with a variety of advantages that make them a popular choice for many residential and commercial applications:
Aesthetic Appeal: Large-format tiles offer a modern, sleek, and seamless look. Because of their size, they have fewer grout lines, leading to a smoother, more continuous appearance that can make spaces appear larger and more open.
Versatility: These tiles come in a wide range of styles, colors, and finishes, allowing you to mimic different materials like wood, stone, or concrete, while benefiting from the properties of porcelain.
Durability: Porcelain is known for its hardness and durability. It is resistant to scratches, stains, and water damage, making it suitable for high-traffic areas and wet environments such as bathrooms and kitchens.
Low Maintenance: Due to their non-porous nature, porcelain tiles are easy to clean and do not require sealing. This makes them an ideal choice for both interior and exterior applications.
Uniformity: The manufacturing process for large-format porcelain tiles ensures a high degree of consistency and uniformity in the design pattern, which is particularly beneficial when aiming for a specific aesthetic.
Installation Efficiency: Due to their large size, fewer tiles are needed to cover a given area, potentially reducing installation time. However, note that their weight and size may require specialized handling and installation techniques.
While these benefits are substantial, it's also important to consider potential challenges, such as the need for a perfectly level substrate, the potential for higher breakage rates during installation due to the tile's size, and the need for experienced installers. As with any material choice, it's essential to balance the advantages with the specific needs and conditions of your project.

Angela ChuJune 21, 2022.Yuri was excellent to work with: Professional and responsive. He took time to show us the huge selection of granite, quartz and marble remnants he has on hand. Installation was smooth and flawless. We installed kitchen counters with a waterfall island, a master bath vanity counter and a fireplace hearth; all looks great.
Zeeshan SayyedFebruary 22, 2022.Surge and the team did a fantastic job of helping us manifest fireplace of our imagination! Surge was very through in asking what we wanted and set us the correct expectations. Although this project was small but they made the whole process very smooth and delivered with great quality. I would highly recommend Avrio Surfaces.
Blake WhickerFebruary 10, 2022.Avrio is the best! My wife and I just remodeled our home, and Yuri and his team took great care of us. Honest pricing, great quality, and fantastic customer service. We initially had our kitchen countertops replaced, but we’re so pleased with the results that we ended up having them replace our laundry room countertops as well. The sales staff was helpful in recommending colors, products, and details like the optimal height of the backsplash, etc. the installation team was fast and friendly. Since the initial installation, the team at Avrio have been available for questions - and even a fantastic repair job after I accidentally dropped some cast iron on the edge of the countertop. Fantastic company - ask for Yuri when you call!
Bonnie SkellyJanuary 23, 2022.I needed a larger cut out for a new stovetop that I bought. Although I bought the same size top as a replacement, it was a different brand and needed a slightly larger cutout. Many of the places I contacted only wanted a full remodel to replace my granite which I did not need. Yuri was awesome. He came to the house and did the work quickly cleaning up the area after the work. I really appreciate contractors that even are willing to do the smaller jobs. This company is number 1 for me and will use them if I decide to do a larger remodel in the future.
Nancy BuckleyJanuary 20, 2022.The countertops look great. We are especially impressed with the quality of the seams...nearly invisible. Daniel and Gabriel did a nice job with the install and were instrumental in getting the countertops installed on Saturday so we could keep the schedule for the remaining steps of the process to have the kitchen remodel finished before Christmas. A real blessing for our family.
Bel-Red PlumbingJanuary 18, 2022.Avrio Surfaces has just completed reconstruction of our kitchen and laundry room/bathroom. The process from the first day we walked into Avrio until today has been incredibly satisfying. We love it! The step-by-step process they use is exactly how we like doing business. They are thorough, detailed, and customer oriented. We enjoyed working with the entire staff. They totally complement each other and work as a team. The entire project was so clean, every day they took great care of our home as they worked. We sincerely recommend Avrio and hope to have them back for other projects! Thanks to the Avrio staff!
Pham LamDecember 15, 2021.It was a wonderful experience working with Avrio. I was able to get quartz countertops installed in less than a month. Arielle was extremely responsive. Pete got measurements done two weeks after I approved the estimate. JJ Aand Daniel took great care to install the quartz and make sure I was completely satisfied. You can’t go wrong with Avrio.
Jo CarpenterNovember 16, 2021.We had Avrio Surfaces help with the countertop in our powder bathroom. It was a small job and at first, I wasn't sure how I felt about the cost but it was well worth it. - Arielle was great in helping us select the right material. She already responded to emails in a timely manner. - Pete was excellent! We had purchased a sink our cabinet guy had told us would work but Pete knew right away it was too big with leaving space for the backsplash and the faucet. He provided suggestions and ultimately we found one on our own but it was great being able to text him the sink and have him verify it would work. He definitely knows his stuff! - The installer Chicho did a wonderful job with the installation. He arrived on time and was quick with the installation. Left the bathroom clean.
Christopher HooperNovember 5, 2021.Just had a chip repaired in our kitchen counter. Yuri came out and was timely, professional and did a great job. I would highly recommend them.
