At Athena Worksurfaces, we understand the importance of providing high-quality, durable, and sustainable materials that meet the demands of modern living with a service level that’s dependable. 

That’s why we offer Mirage porcelain – a material that not only enhances the look of any kitchen but also delivers outstanding performance and sustainability at prices comparable to quartz. 

Sustainability Meets Modern Living 

With sustainability being a major consideration in today’s housing market, porcelain offers a significant advantage. Unlike quartz, porcelain is made from natural raw materials and is recyclable, making it a sustainable choice that contributes to eco-friendly building practices. By offering a material that aligns with sustainable construction goals, you add a valuable selling point to your developments—one that resonates with environmentally conscious buyers. 

And Mirage offers more advantages over other porcelain; its embedded carbon is 29% less CO2-eq compared to the industry average; they’re LEED compliant; have multiple sustainability ISO certifications; all products have EPD certifications; and they have a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 17 (compared to an industry average of 40). 

Durability That Stands the Test of Time 

When constructing homes, you need materials that are as tough as they are stylish, and Italian Mirage porcelain is just that. This premium product is designed to withstand the rigours of everyday use, making it ideal for homeowners who expect a kitchen that’s both functional and long-lasting. Porcelain is incredibly resistant to scratches, UV, stains, and heat, ensuring that your buyers will enjoy their kitchens for years to come, without the need for costly maintenance or replacements. 

Aesthetic Versatility for Every Style 

Italian Mirage porcelain is a designer’s dream, offering a wide range of textures, finishes, and colours that can complement any style, whether your project leans towards the traditional or the contemporary. It can replicate the look of natural stone, marble, or concrete while offering the superior durability that comes with engineered materials. 

Cost-Effective Luxury 

One of the key advantages of choosing Italian Mirage porcelain from Athena Worksurfaces is its competitive pricing. Despite its luxurious appearance and high performance, we offer porcelain at prices comparable to quartz, allowing you to deliver premium finishes without exceeding budget constraints. 

The Athena Advantage 

At Athena Worksurfaces, we specialise in providing builders with the materials and support needed to create exceptional kitchens. With Mirage porcelain, you can offer your clients premium, durable, and sustainable kitchen worktop upgrades that deliver long-term value and aesthetic appeal. 

Partner with Athena Worksurfaces and see how porcelain can elevate your next project.
