Pure porcelain

NZ Panels Group has released the next evolution in benchtop surfaces, a porcelain range designed specifically for New Zealand homes.

Developed in partnership with leading manufacturer Estrella, each slab is created from natural minerals and refined through a high temperature sintering process, producing a surface that’s exceptionally durable, non-porous, and easy to care for.

Equally at home indoors and out, Prime Porcelain is UV stable, making it a versatile choice for kitchens, bathrooms, benchtops, vanities, splashbacks, and even outdoor living spaces. The collection offers a wide array of designs — from timeless neutrals to dramatic veined marble looks, as well as terrazzo and travertine styles.

With Declare certification and sustainability credentials that can contribute towards Homestar and Green Star points, performance sits at the heart of the range: Prime Porcelain is scratch, stain, and moisture resistant, and comes with a 25-year warranty.

Large format samples of Prime Porcelain can be viewed at Residium in Parnell, Auckland, or in Christchurch at the Home Ideas Centre.
