LAPITEC: THE MAGIC OF NATURE
Lapitec honours nature and replicates its perfection through sustainable processing of a 100% natural blend. The result is a surface with unique characteristics.
Innovative, natural, pure.
The story of Lapitec is one of Italian excellence, born in 1989 with the revolutionary idea of creating a material identical in every point of its volume, but without using the common surface enamels of ceramics. In summary: a new surface for the project that was totally ecological and ethical.
Lapitec becomes one with the environment that we live in every day. It pays tribute to nature. It is made of nature. Starting from its essence: the minerals it is made from.
Our material is crafted using a unique technology, protected by over 25 patents. Meticulously selected materials, calibrated by our research and development team, determine the slabs’ colouration without the addition of artificial pigments. As a result, the available shades are an ode to nature, a constant source of inspiration.
Lapitec’s vision is to promote a model of architecture and design that is more conscious, respectful of the environment and humanity. In every project, the responsible use of natural resources and the protection of future generations take precedence.

100% SILICA FREE
Prolonged inhalation of silica dust, naturally present in the majority of mineral-based materials such as granite and ceramics, can cause silicosis, a respiratory disorder with severe consequences. Lapitec, with its revolutionary formula, eliminates all these risks. Devoid of crystalline silica, this materialis a safe choice for those working with it, thus promoting more responsible production practices.

PRACTICAL ACTIONS FOR A BETTER FUTURE
A significant portion of the energy required for the production of Lapitec comes from renewable sources. The plant’s 18,000 square metres are now covered with photovoltaic panels. Additionally, the plant employs uses advanced systems for water and raw material recycling, reducing environmental dispersion.
In this way, we promote sustainable materials management and preserve the surrounding ecosystem. The company maintains an environmentally friendly approach throughout the production process, ensuring that the finished product is completely inert and does not release harmful substances.
Lapitec has obtained the most important international certifications, including the Green Guard Gold certification for its absence of VOC emissions, making it ideal foreducational and healthcare buildings. It also holds the NSF certificate, demonstrating Lapitec’s suitability for contact with food.
