Description
Lapitec comes in various finishes, your quotation will be based on the Arena finish. If you require a quote on another finish, please enquire within.
Lapitec Tobacco is a classic which is indispensable to any atmosphere or style as it provides warmth and harmony due to the soft brown that the stone features. Lapitec Tobacco is inspired by natural landscapes such as beaches with the sandy affect the stone displays. Lapitec Tobacco comes in a Lux, Satin, Lithos, Vesuvio, Fossil, Arena and Dune finish.
Lapitec Tobacco comes in various finishes and is a supreme example of a construction material developed by employing advanced scientific manufacturing techniques. (Patented)
Not a natural stone, neither an artificial quartz stone nor a ceramic or a porcelain but a unique product now defined as a Sintered Stone.
It has only been possible to create such a material by obtaining the most highly refined natural constituents and by controlling the physical and chemical environment of aggregation and crystallisation during manufacture, to a degree not possible heretofore.
Lapitec Tobacco superlative properties and consistency of production imbue this material with qualities unsurpassed for use in a broad spectrum of situations for use in commercial and high end domestic construction projects.
Lapitec Tobacco composition is 100% mineral with no resin or hydrocarbon based binder components. It’s Chemistry and Mineralogy is similar to a granite but with a tight, cryptocrystalline structure similar to Porcelain.
Lapitec Tobacco is inert and tolerant to very high temperatures, frost and unaffected by moisture.
Lapitec Tobacco is resistant to UV light, acids and alkalis.
Lapitec Tobacco extreme hardness makes it particularly resistant to scratching, abrasion and everyday wear and tear.
Furthermore, all slabs are supplied from the factory with Lapitec Bio-Care as standard. This treatment imparts bacterial resistance and self-cleaning properties to the material. In addition, this will enhance its aesthetic appearance, will inhibit staining and simplify the cleaning and maintenance regime.
Lapitec Tobacco slabs are full bodied and as such composition, physical and visual properties are extremely consistent throughout. Contrast this with ordinary porcelain and traditional ceramic tiles which have a layered structure and where the colour, design and surface finish is applied on the face only.
Slab sizes; 3400 x 1500 mm
Slab Thicknesses; 12mm and 20mm
Finishes:
A range of finishes are available that subtly alter the colour tone and reflective qualities of the material as can be seen in the images.
Arena:
Highly reflective polished finish.
Satin:
Flat subtle eggshell sheen.
Vesuvio:
Afine Texted tactile but smooth surface finish similar to a satinato finish on a fine grain granite.
Fossil:
A coarser textured surface finish, imparting a subtle tactile roughness similar to the natural ‘split face’ surface of a natural stone.
