Lappato tiles

Indecision on the part of the potential buyer or the desire to achieve both visual effects are the most common motives for purchasing such a stoneware. Lappato tiles provide a combination of matt and gloss finishes in a single texture. This is made possible by advanced surface polishing technology. This is what makes the porcelain stoneware almost entirely matt when the light is reduced. It only becomes more brilliant when the light is switched on or the windows are opened.

Main advantages of Lappato porcelain stoneware tiles

The characteristic surface properties of porcelain stoneware and the structure of the raw material used for these finishing materials translate into usable advantages. The most important advantages of Lappato tiles are:

- perfect reflection of natural or artificial light,

- optical enlargement of small or uncluttered interiors,

- easy care,

- easy to clean,

- above-average resistance to streaking,

- material life span.

Of course, like any finish, this porcelain stoneware also has limits to its durability and resistance to use. Hence, it is better not to opt for lining the garage driveway area with it, as the weight of the car will affect damage even with infrequent contact with the tile. However, for standard interior applications, Lappato tiles are highly recommended. Also because of the favourable quality/price ratio.

A similar versatility of use applies to the most popular design styles, such as glamour, modern, Scandinavian or loft. Lappato tiles are the right choice when the flat or house contains furniture with different versions of finishes. This is quite common in the combination of an open-plan kitchen with a dining and living room. Then the porcelain stoneware matches all elements of the furniture set regardless of their specifics. It will be the optimum design decision in case of other difficulties in achieving a consistent design. For example, when no alternative material is available.
