Stone: Sinter Stone Nile Gold + Snow White + Panda White

Countertop + Full backsplash + Island top + Vanity top + Power room
Whole house renovation project, featuring three different stone colors throughout the house. We cut the slab using a waterjet to achieve a perfectly even and standard curves. Porcelain slab is fragile. We carefully check, clean, reinforce and support during entire process and installation.
In the world of high-end interior design, few materials strike the perfect balance between indestructible durability and breathtaking aesthetics like porcelain slabs. A recent project completed by the Eternal Stone team in Richmond Hill serves as a masterclass in how to utilize Ciot Golden White Porcelain to transform a kitchen into a sophisticated sanctuary.
1. Meticulous Design & Artful Alignment
The hallmark of this installation is “Meticulous Design.” Rather than simply laying the stone, Eternal Stone’s craftsmen carefully planned the layout to ensure the most prominent and elegant patterns of the porcelain were centered perfectly on the stove’s backsplash. This creates a stunning visual “anchor” for the entire kitchen, turning a functional cooking area into a piece of fine art.
2. Seamless Full-Height Integration
The project demonstrates the power of a “total look” by applying the Ciot Golden White across multiple surfaces:
Kitchen Countertops: Providing a sleek, non-porous workspace.
Full Backsplash: Running the porcelain from the countertop all the way to the ceiling, eliminating grout lines and creating a sense of infinite space.
Waterfall Island: Showcasing the bold, flowing veins of the stone as the center of the home.
3. Efficiency Meets Craftsmanship
Beyond the visual appeal, the project highlights Eternal Stone’s technical expertise in material utilization. By strategically mapping out the cuts, the team managed to maximize the beauty of the slab’s natural flow while minimizing waste—a testament to their commitment to both precision and value for the client.
4. Why Ciot Golden White?
Ciot Golden White is celebrated for its striking resemblance to rare natural marble. It features a crisp white background interlaced with warm, dramatic golden-grey veining. As a porcelain material, it offers distinct advantages over natural stone:
Heat & Stain Resistance: Perfectly suited for high-heat cooking environments.
Zero Maintenance: Unlike marble, it does not require periodic sealing or special stone cleaners.
Consistency: Large-format slabs allow for massive, uninterrupted surfaces that natural stone rarely permits.

Porcelain is a hard, resistant and versatile material. A cousin of stone, it can look like the most beautiful marbles, industrial concretes, exotic woods, oxidized metal or, on the contrary, adopt a completely new look.
Porcelain Slab
Large format Porcelain Slabs are manufactured surfaces produced using high amounts pressure and heat. Can be made to look like natural stone, available in countless colors, textures, sizes and thicknesses, porcelain have limitless uses and durability to last a life time.
Porcelain slab can be custom fabricated to suit any style and is a versatile material allowing for a wide range of finishes and thickness levels. Porcelain slab can be made to resemble popular natural stones making them a perfect choice for those who love natural stone but want more durability.
The cost of porcelain slab
Porcelain slabs range in cost based on brand name, finish, thickness, size and color. This allows a more cost-effective option compared to natural stones or quartz but with much better performance.
The fabrication cost is determined based on individual projects with individual requirements. In general, porcelain slab fabrication has a slightly higher cost per project due to the slightly different process of assembly. Porcelain fabrication can cost upwards of 10-15% more than traditional natural stone or quartz.
Since porcelain material is a relatively new trend, fewer fabricators are working with these products despite the popular demand. Follow along with Eternal Stone Group to learn more about porcelain slab and why it is your top choice material in your home project.

UV Resistance: The Porcelain Slab Surface is not affected by UV rays ensuring the surface finish never fades throughout its life. A perfect surface for an outdoor project.
Heat Resistance: The Porcelain Slab Surface does not contain any organic material thus is not affected by high heat. There is no resin present and will not burn under the most extreme heat conditions.
Value: A Porcelain Slab Surface offers home-owners a maximum return on investment due to its longevity and strength. Porcelain will outlive any natural stone or quartz product available.

The edge profile is the final touch of any stone installation, serving as the bridge between functional durability and aesthetic character. At Eternal Stone, we utilize advanced fabrication technology to offer a wide range of edge styles, from clean modern lines to intricate classical curves. Here is a guide to the most popular countertop edges and how they can transform your space:
Modern & Minimalist
Square Edge: The contemporary standard. It features a clean 90-degree angle with slightly smoothed corners to prevent chipping. It is the perfect choice for minimalist, modern designs. Double Square: For those who desire the look of a more substantial, thicker slab, the double square edge provides a bold and sturdy profile. Pencil Round: A subtle variation of the square edge with a more rounded top. It maintains a modern look while offering a more comfortable surface to lean against.
Decorative & Geometric
Bevel (1/2”, 1/4”, or 1/8”): An angular edge cut at 45 degrees. This profile reflects light differently than the countertop surface, creating a gem-like contrast that brings focus to the stone’s texture. Mitered Edge: The master of illusion. By joining two pieces at a 45-degree angle, this edge makes even a standard slab appear as a thick, monolithic block of stone. It is a signature choice for waterfall islands.
Soft & Traditional
Bullnose: A completely rounded, semi-circular profile. With no sharp angles, it is a safe and soft choice for high-traffic family kitchens. Half Bullnose (Demi-Bullnose): Featuring a rounded top and a flat bottom, this profile makes the countertop look thicker than a full bullnose while offering a sophisticated, traditional feel. Ogee: Characterized by a gentle S-curve, the Ogee edge is a staple of elegant, classical kitchen designs. It provides a flowing, intricate look that adds an immediate sense of luxury.
High-End Luxury
Dupont Edge: A bold variation of the Ogee, the Dupont features a short 90-degree vertical drop that flows into a convex curve. It is often regarded as the pinnacle of luxury edge profiles, perfect for traditional or transitional masterworks.
