Slate Lappato Crema 60x120 Rectified Porcelain Ceramic

Slate Lappato Crema: Natural Stone Elegance and Modern Porcelain Technology

The unique and timeless layered structure of natural slate stone is reinterpreted in the Slate Lappato Crema collection with the serene warmth of cream tones. Developed for professionals who want to create both a warm and sophisticated atmosphere in architectural designs, this porcelain tile adds depth to spaces thanks to its semi-matte, semi-gloss (lappato) surface finish. The lappato technique, which offers subtle glimmers depending on the angle of light, highlights the natural reliefs of the slate stone, promising a three-dimensional tactile and visual experience that goes beyond ordinary floor coverings.

Design and Visual Variability (V3 Variation)

Slate Lappato Crema features a V3 level of pattern and color tone variation. This feature ensures that each tile coming out of the box is distinguished by elegant nuances, just like stones in nature. Surface graphics that avoid monotonous repetition create a seamless and fluid natural stone floor feel when applied in large areas. The warm cream base color adapts to a wide range of decoration styles, from minimalism to classic lines, by perfectly harmonizing with wood, metal, and glass elements in the space.

Technical Excellence and Physical Durability Values

The product is manufactured in BIa class (low water absorption pressed porcelain tile) quality in accordance with ISO 13006 and EN 14411 standards. Its large 60x120 cm plate structure minimizes grout lines, providing a holistic look in the space. Thanks to the precise rectification (edge grinding) process during production, the tiles can be laid with minimal 1 mm grout intervals, resulting in highly hygienic and seamless surfaces.

Considering its technical performance data, Slate Lappato Crema shows high abrasion resistance even in areas with heavy human traffic. Its surface structure, which ranks high on the Mohs hardness scale, offers an extra protective shield against dragging furniture legs, shoe friction, or pet nail scratches. At the same time, thanks to its high mass density, it exhibits resistance to impacts and heavy loads.

Superior Resistance to Water, Moisture, and Chemicals

Thanks to its water absorption rate of less than 0.5%, the product can be safely preferred in wet areas where moisture and water are intense, such as bathrooms and kitchens, and even in enclosed terrace applications. The extremely low water absorption rate also makes the tile frost-resistant; it does not carry the risk of cracking or hairline fractures during sudden temperature changes. It offers Class 5 stain resistance according to EN ISO 10545-13 and EN ISO 10545-14 standards against household chemicals, staining agents (coffee, wine, oil, etc.), and cleaning acids. This allows stains to be cleaned practically with the help of just a damp cloth.

Usage Areas and Application Flexibility

Slate Lappato Crema offers versatile use in both residential projects and commercial spaces:

• Residential Areas: Living rooms, entryways, hallways, bathroom floors and walls, kitchen backsplashes, and floor coverings.
• Commercial Spaces: Hotel lobbies, restaurants and cafes, shops, office buildings, and exhibition halls.
• Heating Systems: 100% compatible with underfloor heating systems. Thanks to its high thermal conductivity, it spreads heat into the environment quickly and contributes to energy savings.

Maintenance and Cleaning Recommendations

To ensure the lappato surface maintains its first-day aesthetics for many years, it is recommended to use pH-neutral surface cleaners and warm water for daily cleaning. Abrasive powder detergents or hard scouring pads that could scratch the surface should not be used. Cleaning of rectified grout lines can be performed practically with the help of microfiber cloths or soft brushes.
