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
