Why custom porcelain stoneware products have become so popular

Porcelain stoneware is no longer used only as flooring. Thanks to its high density, aesthetics, and wide processing possibilities, it has become a material from which dozens of functional and decorative items can be produced.

Custom manufacturing allows you to create interior elements that perfectly match the dimensions, style, and technical requirements of a specific space. That is why custom porcelain stoneware products are in demand today both in residential and commercial interiors.

Main directions of custom production

Porcelain stoneware is well suited for cutting, polishing, milling, and creating complex geometries. Modern equipment makes it possible to produce almost any element.

More details about the capabilities can be found in the section
production of products from tiles and porcelain stoneware.

Below are the most common types of items ordered for interior projects.

Mosaic: classic, decorative, and mix

Porcelain stoneware mosaics are among the most popular options for niches, shower areas, backsplashes, and compact surfaces.

Available types:

• Classic 30×30 mosaic — a universal option with different processing methods.
• Decorative mosaic — suitable for creating unique compositions.
• Mix mosaic — combinations of shades and textures.
• False mosaic 30×30 — an imitation of a mosaic sheet with minimal joints.

Such solutions work well for modern interiors and create a sense of depth.

Steps: a wide selection of shapes and solutions

Porcelain stoneware is ideal for stairs due to its strength and abrasion resistance. Custom-made stair elements may include:

• Standard step with Antislip grooves
  
  
• U-shaped nosed step
  
  
• U-shaped nosed step with Antislip grooves
  
  
• L-shaped nosed step

Skirting boards: a neat finishing touch

To finish the junction between the floor and the wall, several types of skirting boards are used:

• Straight skirting (without edge treatment)
  
  
• Rounded skirting
  
  
• 45-degree skirting
  
  

Porcelain stoneware skirting boards are durable, moisture-resistant, and match the main flooring perfectly.

Geometric elements: square, hexagon, octagon, strip

For decor, accent areas, and non-standard solutions, various shapes are created:

• Square
  
  
• Hexagon
  
  
• Octagon
  
  
• Strip
  
  

These elements allow you to assemble decorative compositions or modular patterns adapted to the size of the room.

Where custom porcelain stoneware items are used

Porcelain stoneware elements are used almost everywhere:

• in kitchens
• in bathrooms and shower zones
• in corridors and on stairs
• in niches and accent wall panels
• in commercial areas
• in furniture constructions

For example, countertops made from large-format porcelain stoneware are one of the most practical solutions. Installation details are explained in the article
How to Properly Install a Porcelain Stoneware Countertop.

How porcelain stoneware products are manufactured

The production process includes several stages:

1. Measurements — accurate dimensions ensure perfect fitting.
2. Designing — selecting shape, texture, and edge processing options.
3. Cutting and milling — done on professional equipment.
4. Finishing — polishing, chamfering, nosing, grooves.
5. Quality control — checking accuracy and appearance.

This approach ensures millimeter precision and full compliance with the requirements of the project.

Advantages of custom porcelain stoneware products

Custom-made items offer a number of benefits:

• perfect size matching
  
  
• any texture and color available
  
  
• high strength and durability
  
  
• moisture and temperature resistance
  
  
• aesthetic appearance
  
  
• long service life without deformation
  
  

Unlike natural stone, porcelain stoneware does not absorb stains, does not swell, and is easier to maintain.

How to choose the right items for your project

When selecting items, it is important to consider the interior style, dimensions, tile thickness, edge processing type, and the intended installation area. It is recommended to plan the load, lighting, and material combination in advance.
