Marazzi — nine decades of Italian ceramic craft
Founded in Sassuolo in 1935, Marazzi grew from a regional tile workshop into one of the world’s most influential ceramics manufacturers, credited with several of the industry’s key technical innovations. Its large-format porcelain slabs carry that heritage into the kitchen: surfaces designed in Italy, produced with modern sintering technology, and finished with graphics so refined that the marble looks are regularly mistaken for the real stone.
The collection we stock focuses on worktop-grade slabs in 12 mm thickness, alongside thinner formats for splashbacks and wall cladding. Designs range from luminous Calacatta and Statuario interpretations to warm travertines, dark dramatic marbles and calm stone neutrals. Because the material is fully vitrified porcelain, the pattern keeps its depth under daily use, sunlight and repeated cleaning.
See the current slab selection on our Marazzi category page, or compare the look against sister materials in the full ceramic range. Our showroom keeps physical samples, because ceramic graphics deserve to be judged in person and in daylight.

Care and cleaning
A Marazzi porcelain top asks very little. Clean with warm water and mild detergent, dry with a soft cloth, and use a standard non-abrasive ceramic cleaner for anything dried-on. Acidic foods and household cleaners do not etch porcelain, and no sealing or impregnation is ever required — the surface you install is the surface you keep.
As with all sintered surfaces, treat exposed edges with a little respect: a heavy pot dropped on an unsupported corner can chip the ceramic. Good fabrication — proper support, sensible overhangs, reinforced cut-outs — removes most of that risk, and it is exactly the kind of detail our factory controls in-house.
Measurement, fabrication and installation
We laser-template the cabinets on site, machine the slabs on our own waterjet and CNC lines, polish the edges, and install the finished worktop complete with sink and hob cut-outs. Delivery and installation in Finland — 10 working days from measurement. You deal with one team, and the schedule holds because every stage is ours.
Frequently asked questions
Is a Marazzi porcelain worktop durable enough for daily family cooking?
Yes. Porcelain of this grade resists scratching, heat and staining better than almost any natural stone. It is a surface designed for intensive use — the same material family is specified for commercial kitchens and public spaces precisely because it endures.
Do the marble-look slabs really resemble natural marble?
Remarkably well. Marazzi prints and fires the veining with high-definition technology, and on premium designs the pattern flows across the whole slab. From normal viewing distance most guests will assume it is stone — until you tell them it never needs sealing.
Can Marazzi slabs be used for splashbacks and walls too?
Absolutely, and this is one of the range’s strengths: the same design is available in thinner formats, so a worktop can continue up the wall as a seamless splashback. Fewer joints mean easier cleaning and a calmer, more architectural look.
Does the colour fade near a sunny window?
No. The decoration is fired into the ceramic at kiln temperatures, making it UV-stable. Slabs keep their colour beside floor-to-ceiling glazing, in south-facing kitchens and even in outdoor applications where many other surface materials would slowly bleach.
