1. A reinforced porcelain panel product for renovations or new construction, the reinforced porcelain panel product comprising:
a porcelain slab having a top surface with a first surface area and a bottom surface, the top surface opposite the bottom surface; and
a structural core board including a foam-core material and having top surface and a bottom surface, the top surface of the structural core board having a second surface area greater than the first surface area of the porcelain slab and positioned in abutting contact with the bottom surface of the porcelain slab with adhesive material therebetween and such that regions of the top surface of the structural core board extend beyond outer peripheries of the first surface area of the porcelain slab to define a buffer region, thereby to allow the buffer region to be visible when viewing the reinforced porcelain panel product from a front view of the top surface of the reinforced porcelain panel product and to enhance protection from cracking or chipping when the reinforced porcelain panel product is handled, and the bottom surface of the structural core board to be attached to a mounting surface when installed.
