Countertops are getting sleeker, smarter and more powerful. In recent years, they’ve integrated cooking power with built-in induction hobs, lighting power with hidden switches, and phone power with integrated chargers. The latest power play comes from Porcelanosa, and it’s likely to expand the categories of porcelain slab countertops and kitchen technology even further.

Power to the Kitchen People

What the Spanish home products manufacturer has debuted is integrated power for countertop appliances, now available for the U.S. market. Here’s how the company describes the SmartKitchen by its Gamadecor division in a recent release: “The new invisible induction system for worktops acts as both a hob and charging point for electrical appliances.” (We call “worktops” countertops.) A control panel integrated into the porcelain slab countertop lets the user turn on a compatible blender or other small compatible countertop appliance.

The look of the panel is modern and touch based. The small appliances work through proximity to the hidden power source, (able to deliver up to 2,000 watts, according to the manufacturer), but they need to be compatible with wireless inductive electrification technology. ScienceDirect explains it this way: “Inductive power transfer (IPT) uses a magnetic field to transfer electrical energy…without an electrical connection.”

This type of technology is already in use within the home, and for outside systems too. Small appliance charging is the latest offering, and can be accomplished without batteries, cables or power cords. Anyone dealing with tangled messes and curious, agile tabby cats can appreciate the simplicity of this system in their kitchens.

Industry Reaction

SmartKitchen won a design award at a European show in 2020. This is the first I’ve seen it in the United States. Bringing electrical and plumbing technology across the ocean is complicated by different standards and codes. Now that it’s here, this system has the potential to win American awards too.

Joe Simpson, ceramic tile consultant and editor of Diary of a Tile Addict, calls Porcelanosa’s integrated power source a neater alternative to pop-up power outlets and a “must-have masculine kitchen accessory for high end fitted kitchens.” (Kitchens in Europe and the U.K., where Simpson is based, don’t always have built-in “fitted” kitchens as we Americans know them.)

Caroline Broderick, managing editor at Pro Remodeler, is seeing this category grow, she says, “Integrated power is definitely a newer feature I’ve noticed just within the past two to three years. The product itself has been available, but now we’re seeing surface manufacturers partnering with the manufacturers of hidden induction systems and using it within their products. This just means it’s more reliable and accessible to contractors and their clients, so I’m sure we will see it much more over the coming years.” (As trend watcher for another trade publication, I tend to agree.)

At the same time, Broderick knows that the contractors and other home improvement professionals who read her publication have questions, concerns and skepticism about lifespan and performance for emerging technology. “That comes with anything new, but with it being attached to a pricey and anchoring part of the kitchen, the stakes are higher.” She notes that anything new to contractors and their installers is going to present challenges.

“This means that it will require added time, and likely, education to understand installation. If not, the remodeler would need to seek out someone with knowledge of these projects, which, from my guess, isn’t very common. This also means more money, but if the client is willing to pay that premium, a contractor will happily oblige,” the editor adds.

San Diego area general contractor Sheen Fischer is already familiar with this type of system, he says. “Induction technology has been around long enough that it is tried and proven. There would be the normal manufacturer and product specific concerns regarding warranty and service should the products fail or have issues.”

He sees it appealing to the most affluent end of the market. “Budget is almost always a concern, especially with state of the art, new to the market offerings,” he shares. Given its newness, Fischer expects adoption to be focused on “Perhaps the very high, luxury end of the spectrum, where style takes precedence over functionality.”

(Another challenge to overcome for the SmartKitchen is a lack of online information about which countertop appliances are currently available in the U.S. to work with your new countertops.)

Conclusion

“I think Porcelanosa (Gamadecor brand) SmartKitchen will set the pace in this arena,” predicts Simpson. “This is a company that is marketing and innovation driven, hugely powerful [and] well resourced.”
