Full Lappato
60×60 Porcelain Tiles
Porcelain Tiles are a wonderful and diverse product. They have become more and more popular as a flooring choice in recent years due to the great benefits they bring over other flooring options.
With an easy to clean and strong water proof surface they are a wonderful choice for floors that see a lot of heavy and varied use. The diverse range of finishes and larger sizing means that there is no longer a trade off in appearance and styling for these benefits either.
Produced using the latest Italian and Spanish machinery Apodio Tiles meet will bring a touch of elegance and class to your house.
Lappato tiles have a softly polished finish, featuring a higher shine than matt tiles but a gentler finish than a traditional polished porcelain tile. These tiles create that amazing smooth finish you see so often in house magazines, allowing for a flowing design that makes your house feel alive and creating a sense of flow throughout.
