The Top by Marazzi porcelain worktops comprises ceramic clay and mineral colouring instead of resin colouring in other countertops.

Have you got 1 minute? -The below video shows you Marazzi's manufacturing plant, and its highly automated production process:
These are three main steps for cutting ceramic worktops by Marazzi:
Preparation
- Remove at least 2 cm of Marazzi The Top from each slab edge.
- Plan a sequence that detaches the worktops or panels from the slabs and then makes the cutouts.
- Allow for a minimum 5 mm radius, ensuring the surfaces are flat, level and stable whilst cutting.
Cutting holes
- Mark the cutting point, no more than 5 cm from the slab edge, coring at 75 degrees. You can use a flared drill bit for more even borders.
- Cut along the marking with an angle grinder with a diamond disc.
- Smooth the cutout's edges with diamond polishing pads containing velcro backers
Cutting edges
To create Marazzi worktop edges, follow the below steps:
- First, use a diamond tool device to shape the 45 degrees angle mitred edges.
- Score the slab without stopping with constant speed and pressure to cut straight edges.
- To detach the scored areas, detach the pieces using cutting pliers at both ends.
- You can use a drill or angle grinder containing a diamond disc or a 6-8mm drill to cut rectangular shapes. Them, cut along with the device comprising the diamond bit or drill.
- Shape the edges using a machine fitted with diamond tools.
The below video shows you Marazzi The Top cutting process for creating cutouts and edges:
To install Marazzi The Top worktops, ensure the surfaces are clean. Then, ensure the substrate (kitchen units, bathroom cabinets, etc.) is level and flat.
Reinforce the cutouts and other weak points in the worktops.
- First, prepare the adhesive and place it evenly across the substrate and on the worktops.
- Gently put the panels over the cabinetry during assembly, ensuring aligned joints.
- Allow a minimum 2mm joint, using packers and clamp levellers where required.
- Once the worktops are in place, mix the grout to colour-match it to the tone of the worktops.
- Remove any excess grout with plenty of water and clean in diagonal motions.
- Once the worktop installation is complete, clean all the surfaces thoroughly with a window glass cleaner. Finally, dry with a microfibre cloth.

It is not easy to scratch Marazzi The Top. For example, kitchen worktops, lobby, and shop floors are the most demanding applications for decoration surfaces. Marazzi The Top results 'Class A', CEN/TS 16209, during testing method EN 15186:2012 met B, making it ideal for such applications due to its resistance to wear and tear.
Marazzi The Top surfaces are ideal for outdoor use and offer unmatched UV rays resistance. You can install them on concrete, elevated floors, stone, sand, or lawn. They are available in different colours and textural finishes, with the appearance of marble, concrete, terracotta, wood, stone, and other traditional decoration materials.
Marazzi The Top has a modulus of rupture of a minimum value of 32 N/mm2 (ISO 10545-4). As a result, it creates enough flexibility in the stone, letting you construct curved upstands, curved breakfast bars, circular kitchen islands, and other specific curved designs.
No, Marazzi The Top is a new type of porcelain known as a sintered stone, available in extra-large slabs. It differs from ceramic in terms of the raw materials in its construction, its production procedures, and the finishes and effects it provides.
