Porcelain possibilities

To complement their premium marble and stone collections, Lapicida also offer new-generation porcelains. These are designed to work alongside natural wall and floor materials but also to act as their perfect alternatives, precisely mimicking the real thing but offering important differences in performance.

Advancing technology and production techniques have transformed porcelain into a true chameleon. Nowadays it can look – and feel – like anything from marble, natural timber, concrete, mirror, or limestone – even antique stone or wood, offering endless design possibilities for your dream bathroom.

A Yorkshire company with a strong international reputation, Lapicida works with top architects and designers as well as individual customers all over the world.

If you want to add a splash of decadent décor to your home, here are some of the key looks to go for.

Semblance

Semblance antibacterial porcelain is manufactured using the latest technology to infuse an antibacterial shield into the tile’s surface, creating a permanent, protective layer which eliminates up to 99.9 per cent of bacteria.

Practical, hygienic, and completely weather resistant, Semblance offers the look and feel of marble with all the benefits of porcelain.

Lapicida operates from an extraordinary three-acre complex in Knaresborough, the perfect place to find inspiration amongst hundreds of products for indoors and out. Here, too, Lapicida’s artisan stonemasons work alongside technicians operating advanced stone-working equipment, enabling it to offer bespoke natural stone alongside brilliant porcelains and ceramics for any situation and budget.
