Sarasota Kitchen Inspiration: Infinity Calacatta Oro Polished 2cm Porcelain
Are you looking for the ultimate marble-look inspiration for your upcoming kitchen remodel? Fortunately, if you love the striking gold and grey veining of Italian marble but dread the staining and etching that comes with it, this Sarasota kitchen feature is for you.
For this multi-generational family home, we designed a space that balances luxury design with real-world functionality.

The Power of a Full-Height Slab Backsplash
One of the biggest design trends right now is moving away from traditional tile and extending the countertop material straight up the wall.
For this project, we installed a kitchen countertop and full backsplash using matching Infinity Calacatta Oro slabs. Carrying the gold veining vertically up behind the cooktop creates an incredible sense of height and luxury.
Because these porcelain slabs are massive, the entire wall is practically seamless. The family gets a stunning focal point with zero grout lines to clean, making it a completely hygienic, stainproof, and worry-free environment.

Quick Material FAQs
Where can I see Infinity Calacatta Oro slabs in person?
You can view and select your exact slabs at UMI Stone in Sarasota, the premier local supplier for Infinity Surfaces on the Florida West Coast.
Why choose 2cm porcelain over natural marble for a kitchen?
Natural Calacatta marble is highly porous and easily stained by lemon juice, wine, and coffee. Infinity porcelain slabs give you the exact same luxury look but are completely stainproof, scratchproof, and heatproof… making them ideal for heavy cooking and baking.
Does a full-slab wall splash need special setup?
Yes. Fitting a full-height stone slab on a wall takes great care. First, teams must use lasers to map the space. Then, pros must lift and place the heavy pieces. This ensures the patterns line up beautifully with your counter. It also makes sure the slab fits perfectly around wall plugs and range hoods.
Why do I need a top-tier crew to handle porcelain slabs?
Porcelain and Dekton are not like old-style granite or quartz. In fact, they are very dense and hard. Therefore, they require special tools, heavy lifting gear, and unique cutting methods.
Luz Concept 5 is a proven crew focused only on these modern, high-tech surfaces. Because we do not spend time on old materials, our cutting and seamless pattern matching are completely unmatched.
