Abstract

The present disclosure provides embodiments of a reinforced porcelain panel product such as for renovations or new construction in buildings. In an embodiment, a reinforced porcelain panel product includes a porcelain slab and a structural core board. The porcelain slab includes a top surface with a first surface area. The structural core board includes a core material having a second surface area and a thickness greater than the porcelain slab. A top surface of the structural core board is positioned in contact with a bottom surface of the porcelain slab with an adhesive. A buffer region is defined by regions of the structural core board extending beyond outer peripheries of the porcelain slab. The buffer region enhances protection from cracking when the reinforced porcelain panel product is installed, handled, transported, or cut. The bottom surface of the structural core board is to be attach to a mounting surface when installed.
