Don't judge a book by its cover, or in this case a countertop by its thickness.
Porcelain countertops appear to be thin and fragile at a glance but are just as durable as a standard 3CM quartz or granite and even allow for a 14 inch bracket-less overhang! Because porcelain is made from firing a combination of powdered china stone and kaolin clay at about 1450°C, this material ranks just as durable as Dekton if not more.
