New Tile in Town

Porcelain Panels Pack a Punch of Both Fashion & Function

Move over marble, there’s a new tile in town. Porcelain panels are the latest and greatest choice for any home renovation, packing a punch of both fashion and function.

Chris Kubik, owner of Kubik House, a local tile contracting company, has been working with porcelain panels since 2020. As early adopters to this style in our area, Kubik and his team have collected tools from Italy and skills from hours of training and experience, becoming specialists with the large 5'x10' panels. He recognizes that workmanship is the key to any tile project.

“Tile work is very precision-based work. It needs to look great, and it needs to last,” Kubik says. “The quality of our work is the number one focus.”

The versatility, durability, aesthetic harmony and wide variety of porcelain panels available make it a high quality, low-maintenance alternative for shower walls, bathroom floors, countertops, backsplashes and even fireplace surrounds.

“You can hit it with a hammer,” Kubik explains. “It's impervious to water. You'll never have to seal it. There's no grout. It's just very easy to maintain. It’s twice as durable at half the cost of a full slab of natural stone,” he points out.

The textured designs on porcelain panels recreate the look of natural marble, sandstone, granite or wood.

“It can really warm up a large space, making it feel homey instead of cold and sterile,” Kubik says.
