The world of natural stone inspires the origin of the Lapis mosaic: an eternal world recalling the oldest constructions in history. Resistant, valuable, durable: Appiani chooses stone for its intrinsic qualities and reproduces it in porcelain stoneware, guaranteeing perfect modularity with all the existing collections. The stone effect of Lapis, evoked by the material's natural colours and plasticity, is designed for indoor and outdoor spaces of all kinds and is a natural addition to residential and wellness & pool environment, guaranteeing antibacterial protection with the Appiani Bio Shield+ finish.

The result is as sculptural and unexpected as the most amazing natural stones.

The Essenza sintered stone collection features all the monochromatic colours and its name expresses Lapitec’s identity: solid, linear and firm shades not only on the surface but also on the inside of the sintered stone slab (full-bodied).
The shades available cover the entire palette of colours: from cold shades such as Bianco Assoluto, passing through the warm shades of Avana and arriving to the more urban Grigio Cemento.

YV36B006 full bodied porcelain tile simulates the granulated patterns of granite. In 30x60cm, the tile’s format allows for application on both wall and floor.

Nuovocorso designed an innovative production process for porcelain stoneware, improving the raw extrusion technology. That’s nuovocorso extruded porcelain tiles, provided with an amazing cohesion which combines great strength with outstanding flexibility. These physical characteristics guarantee an easy and safe laying, also available in large formats.

Elasticity and flexibility
The Nuovocorso have a unique characteristic whic h distinguishes them from other porcelain tiles: they are extremely flexible and elastic. In order to transmit these properties to the material, clay with elevated plasticity is used, which maintains the physical characteristics unaltered thanks to the cold extrusion process. This is the reason why the plank can bend, not suffering alterations and it remains flat once installed in position; it is in fact its own weight which levels the floor.
