While Lapitec and vitrified stoneware are both high-performance sintered materials, the primary difference lies in their composition and structural consistency. Let us dig deeper into the different features of these stones now.
What is Lapitec?
It is a full-body sintered stone made from 100% natural minerals that offers a silica-free, high- performance alternative to traditional stone surfaces.
The Properties of Lapitec
- Full-depth natural minerals
- Silica-free mineral build
- Provides a healthier work environment for installers
- Full-body colour and veining
- Easier to handle during complex fabrication.
What is Porcelain?
It is a high-density sintered material crafted from refined clays and minerals. These raw porcelain materials are fired at extreme temperatures to create non-porous and durable surfaces.
The Properties of Porcelain
- Ceramic-core construction with a high-definition overlay
- Contains varying levels of silica
- Patterns do not wrap naturally around the corners
- High internal pressure can lead to hairline cracks or splitting during installation
What Material to Choose
Your priority defines the material. You can opt for porcelain if you seek varied digital designs or elevate your space with Lapitec’s full-body integrity and installer-safe composition. It all depends on your design preferences and practical needs.
