More Than a Decade of Porcelain Experience
Porcelain fabrication requires more than sophisticated equipment. It requires experience.
The Porcelain Slab Co. team has been working with large-format porcelain for more than 12 years—long before porcelain slabs became one of the fastest-growing surfaces in the industry.
Over that time, we've learned what works, what doesn't, and where porcelain projects can go wrong. That experience allows us to identify potential problems early, plan installations correctly, and fabricate each piece with the final installation in mind.
You don't want your project to be someone's learning experience.
You want a team that already knows how to do it.
How We Started
Having worked with porcelain slabs since 2014, The Porcelain Slab Co.'s owner Nathan Parsons knew the market needed a solution for qualified labor and skilled leadership to fulfill the needs of the North Carolina market.
"I've seen the growth in porcelain from my first training and sale in 2014. The market has matured. When I looked around and there was no company dedicated to working with porcelain slabs in a way that met the standards and norms required, I saw potential. I was getting too many calls to help so it made sense to start my own business again.." Thus in 2023, he departed his manager role running one of the largest stone countertop shops in Raleigh to embark on growing a porcelain centric operation.
"It was a fantastic decision. The need in the marketplace was huge and it was great to fulfill it," says Parsons. "Knowing we could bring more options, colors, and methods than anyone else at a price point that few could compete has been rewarding."
Further, in January 2025 Parsons was able to achieve CTI Status as he passed his written and physical exam earning badge #1969. "It was 7 years in the making, with nerves galore, but I passed on the first attempt." remarks Parsons. "That was a huge achievement for me personally, to lead by example."
With a permanent location based in Rocky Mount, Parsons knows the future is bright for the niche portion of the surface market. Parsons continues, "Porcelain slabs continue to grow in popularity. The patterns continue to improve but one thing has stayed the same, the need for experienced installers and fabricators. We aim to solve that problem with our shop in Rocky Mount that allows us to service all of North Carolina and eastern Virginia. It doesn't matter if it's countertops, floors, showers, or walls, we will get the job done."
A Commitment to Rocky Mount, NC
For owner Nathan Parsons, seeing the potential has been his professional calling card. "I saw the potential of porcelain slabs back in 2014 and now it's an industry. I look at Rocky Mount North Carolina and I see potential. It is a city that was once the bustling center of the region. We want to help it regain some recognition."
With this view in mind, The Porcelain Slab Co. made the decision to move into a historic well-known warehouse space in Rocky Mount. Parsons adds, "It just made sense. The city wanted us there to bring unique jobs. The buildings fit our needs for growth and expansion. We hope to help Rocky Mount bring unique jobs to the area.."
But even though the business is based in the Eastern part of North Carolina, the business has handled installations throughout the Southeast with projects completed in Charlotte, Asheville, Boone, Raleigh, Wilmington, Richmond, Atlanta, and even Washington DC.
