An innovative product with never before seen technical and aesthetic features: Lapitec® is the versatile and durable full-bodied sintered stone. It represents the ideal solution for a multitude of applications; indoor and outdoor cladding, paving, kitchen worktops and even for ventilated façades.
Lapitec® is characterized by its large sized slabs – measuring 1500×3365 mm with thicknesses of 12, 20 and 30 mm – and by extremely high physical-mechanical properties which, along with elegance and natural colours, give an excellent result able to meet every taste and style. Nowadays Lapitec® is chosen by architects and interior designers as the material to better express ideas, intuitions and innovations both for interiors and exteriors.
Cutting edge technology, for timeless style
Classic and modern. Retro and futuristic. Lapitec® knows no temporal nor aesthetic constraints. It lends itself to any project thanks to the 113 different colour and design solutions, making it a valuable and versatile alternative for cladding, flooring, stairs kitchen countertop and worktop production.
Lapitec® slabs are planar and have homogeneous thicknesses: these features facilitate installation related work and give a perfectly uniform aesthetic result. The variation in the friction coefficient of different finishes make this stone suitable for many applications, both in furnishing and in architecture.
Lapitec® is impervious to the effects of time and weather, it’s highly impact resistant and completely insensitive to UV rays and acid rain. These features make it ideal for outdoor and indoor cladding in buildings of any shape and size, but also for paving and flooring requirements. It can even be used for swimming pools and spas. Thanks to its improved flexural strength and to its specific weight of 2,4 kg/dm3, this sintered stone is perfect for ventilated façades as well as large suspended floors and kitchen countertops and worktops. Lapitec® is particularly suited for the latter, as its surface do not absorb, stain or scratch, they are easy to clean and absolutely non-flammable.
All collections are subjected to Bio-Care technology that makes Lapitec® a self-cleaning and antibacterial product thanks to the properties of titanium dioxide – a catalyst able to degrade numerous organic compounds through oxidation. This treatment also makes Lapitec® particularly suitable for locations where a high standard of cleanliness and hygiene must be guaranteed, as is the case for kitchens. The treatment also protects external walls against smog, dirt, dust, paint and sprays.
A wide range of colours and finishes
Seven finishes, fifteen monochromatic colours and six veined options, for a wide range of solutions which can be completely customized and allow free-expression to the creativity of designers. The colours are inspired by nature, ranging from lighter shades such as Bianco Polare, Bianco Crema, Avorio and Grigio Cemento, through to Sahara, Tabacco, Porfido Rosso and Ebano, and all the way up to Grigio Piombo, Nero Antracite and the new nuances Moca, Avana and Artico. The six veined options – Michelangelo, Bernini, Donatello, Canova, Perla, Corallo – give each surface a refined effect.
The finishes
Fossil is the ideal choice for both indoor and outdoor cladding and for anti-slip flooring requirements. At first sight it presents a “fossilized” shattered stone effect, with softer colour tones compared to the other collections – due to its sanblasted appearance.
Vesuvio has a gentle, structured surface recalling the power and the vitality of volcanic magma during its descent from a crater. Along with its flamed granite appearance it makes slippery surfaces safer and prevents dirt from accumulating. This finish is the ideal choice for both internal and external cladding.
Satin is the elegant as silk collection that is soft to the touch. Its smooth finish and imperceptible coarseness make it easy to clean and the ideal solution for kitchen worktops and countertops, cladding and for domestic and residential flooring.
Lux is the polished mirrored surface which as the name suggests has the unique property of reflecting and enhancing luminosity, for an effect of absolute elegance.
Arena is a level and sandblasted finish with a regular grain that confers a natural dynamism to the entire slab. This processing of sintered stone makes colours lighter, making the vivacity of colours stand out. Arena expresses its utmost potential on outdoor applications.
Lithos is a finely wrinkled surface. The effect is stunning because it creates soft and natural colours. Thanks to its subtle depressions, the result always provides new perceptions to the touch. Lithos is versatile, velvety and elegant: perfect for kitchen countertops, surfaces and the external walkways of yachts and pools.
Dune recalls the sand of the desert, where the wind gently molds the landscape. It is soft to the touch and new colour vibrations can be discovered with every ray of light. The optical effect is that of a naturally broken stone, very similar to slate: a modern and elegant solution for kitchen countertops and wall coatings.
Urban: a collection to interpret large size surfaces
A new finish, linked in name and mood to an evocative metropolitan horizon. “Urban” is a new collection of full body sintered stone slabs: a celebration of four iconic cities.
Brooklyn is a revolutionary interpretation of colours and shades of iron alloys: a highly evocative and textured result that is reminiscent of authentic Corten weathering steel thanks to the opacity of the surface. London suggests the mood of the buildings in the British capital: ash grey with hues that draw inspiration from the classic shades of London smog. Columns, stately villas and marble form the aesthetic basis that led the company to create Roma, the third proposal, characterized by its warm and impeccably elegant cream colour. Casablanca is an extremely pale and pure ivory finish that recreates the effect of the white buildings of the Moroccan metropolis.
