Does stone break easier than porcelain?
Before installation in some cases, yes. If the stone makes the trip to the installation site without breaking, it will most likely not fail after installation. Porcelain is a mixture of clays and minerals that are fired at high temperatures. This process creates a very strong and consistent bond that offers a durable and predictable finished product. In both cases, the installation techniques used and the surface preparation play a more important roll in the success of the installation than the product itself. The highest quality porcelain will fail if the installation is performed incorrectly.
