1. LAPITEC SINTERED STONE 1.1. DESCRIPTION Lapitec® is a sintered stone: an innovative material produced in large slabs using exclusive, patented technology, which can be used both indoors and outdoors. Lapitec sintered stone is resistant to wear and tear, weather conditions, UV rays, heat, and frost, as well as being non-porous. Lapitec offers a number of different surface finishes, making it the perfect solution for both flooring and wall cladding. The various surface finishes of Lapitec make it suitable for use both on floors and walls. Lapitec is compatible with a wide range of...

Finishes The high-gloss surface of the slab adds brightness to the material, really enhancing the surroundings where it is installed. LUX A sophisticated matt look that is soft to the touch, bringing to mind the texture and elegance of silk. SATIN A surface with subtle wrinkles, offering different sensations with every touch and a colour effect with soft and natural shades. LITHOS* Structured, soft and dynamic to the touch, with a movement that gives the surface strength and vitality, reducing any slipperiness. VESUVIO* A smooth, sandblasted finish, featuring an even grain that creates a...

1.4. SILICA FREE Biorite® is a patented mineral, non-toxic and crystalline-silica-free, obtained with a particular melting process at about 1600 ° C, starting from a unique blend of 100% natural mineral powders. Lapitec slabs produced using Biorite can be considered “Silica free" as they contain a crystalline silica percentage that does not exceed 1%. Biorite is produced exclusively at the Lapitec plant in Vedelago. This allows for a comprehensive control of the raw materials and the production cycle, further improving the consistency of the technical and surface characteristics of the slabs.

Hygienic and antibacterial Prevents the proliferation of germs and microbes Heat resistant Resistant to high temperatures Easy to clean Non porous and stain resistant Green Not printed and 100% natural UV stable Colour unaffected by sunlight Chemical resistant Unaffected by alkaline or acidic products Scratch resistant High resistance against scratching Frost resistant Resistant to low temperatures

SLAB DIMENSIONS Indicative nominal dimensions Usable dimensions

In order to correctly measure planarity, the slab must be resting on a perfectly horizontal and stable anchor plate; it is therefore necessary to avoid A-frames or measurements when the slab is suspended. Planarity is measured using an aluminium bar and thickness gauges to the centre of each side: 750 mm and 1700 mm.

Gloss grades are measured using a glossmeter on the finished surface. Any gloss variations on the same slab are checked by taking recordings along the sides and in the centre of the slab itself.

SHADE DIFFERENCES Lapitec is suitable for installation on large surfaces such as façades, paving and cladding in general. The Lapitec production process involves sinterisation at over 1200°C, creating slabs that are characterised by minimal shade differences. With the aim of managing even only the slightest shade differences, Lapitec S.p.A.’s R&D department has developed a special device able to accurately measure and record the colour of each slab, reporting the result in the relative QR Code printed on the label. International standards (CIElab2000) allow for shade differences between two...

Note: For the colour Bianco Assoluto the size tolerance is reduced to ^ 0.5 mm for white grains on a black background and for black grains on a white background. We recommend that our customers carefully clean and inspect each slab before use. This ensures that the product can be used in the best way possible and allows for checks into compliance with all quality standards. Please note: this should be standard practice. Complaints will not be accepted regarding material that has been installed with defects that were already present at the time of delivery.

Selecting the right finish involves carefully considering how Lapitec is going to be used, whether for a kitchen worktop, floor, wall, etc. It is therefore necessary to take all the various aspects into consideration, such as personal taste, non- slip properties and ease of cleaning once installed. When designing a floor, the finish must be chosen based on the non-slip performance of the surface. It is necessary to assess how the floor will be used, the surroundings and the weather conditions in the place where it will be installed; however, above all, it is necessary to check the...
