A partnership between Lapitec® and Franke held its international debut at Swissbau, held from 12th to 16th January with a new catalogue presented to the general public and professionals.
The partnership has co-operated on a new finish called Franke Stone by Lapitec® and it brings all the technical and aesthetic properties of full body sintered stone to the Swiss company’s range.
The Franke countertops are available in four finishes that offer various experiences to the touch while maintaining the high level of usability of kitchens. Dune recalls the sand of the desert and the charm of broken stone, typical of slate; Vesuvio is a more structured surface, with a sandblasted and brushed effect, where the appearance of a flamed granite reduces the slipperiness of its surface; Satin expresses refined elegance and a silky-like look; Lux enhances and amplifies the light of any room in a natural and delicate manner.
The ten colours available cover the entire colour palette and allow you to harmonize the kitchen countertop with all the home environments and aesthetic styles: Artico, Bianco Polare, Tabacco, Moca, Ebano, Grigio Cemento, Grigio Piombo, Nero Antracite, Arabescato Perla and Arabescato Corallo.
Franke Stone by Lapitec is a perfect synthesis of ingenuity and natural elements. The full body sintered stone is 100% natural and without any resins or petroleum derivatives. The patented production process also ensures the utmost mechanical strength of the material and makes it possible to create big slabs (1500mm x 3365mm) that are available in three different calibrated thicknesses: 12mm, 20mm and 30mm.
This makes it possible to reduce joins, as much as possible, and to make elegant and refined kitchen countertops. Franke Stone by Lapitec is also resistant to acids, heat and UV rays, but it is also antibacterial, stain resistant and easy to clean: ideal properties for kitchen materials, where beauty and usability must be on the same level.
