ADVANTAGES OF LAPITEC

Lapitec is mostly used in kitchens, but technically it can be used for almost anything. Its incredibly diverse range of properties means it can be used in bathrooms – either as a countertop or flooring – and even as internal or external wall cladding.

Not only does Lapitec look like natural stone, it’s as ‘workable’ as it too, making it very easy to install. In fact, the installation process may even be easier with Lapitec than natural stone, as it is incredibly light. This doesn’t mean that Lapitec is any weaker; on the contrary, some believe it’s actually stronger than natural stone.

It’s non-porous qualities means Lapitec is very easy to clean, as liquids aren’t absorbed into the surface. Plus, the surface is stain resistant, so you won’t have to scrub at it for hours after you’ve spilt a bottle of wine on it. Even if you leave food residue on it, mould won’t grow and as we stated earlier, the surface is anti-bacterial thanks to the use of Biotech technology. Lapitec even has self-cleaning properties, so really all you should need to clean your worktop is a bit of soap and water – simple!

Similar to granite, Lapitec is built to last. Therefore, it’s not wise to have Lapitec worktop installed if you’re planning on moving house any time soon. Instead, it should be an investment – so be sure to choose and colour and finish you definitely like! The manufacturer claims that the material should not change nor deteriorate over time. Since Lapitec isn’t affected by UV light, its sheen and colour should be retained throughout its lifetime too, meaning it will never turn a horrible shade of yellow.
