Discover the secrets of sintered stone
A new natural stone
Lapitec is composed entirely of the following precious natural materials, in a silica-free formulation.
After two decades of meticulous research and development, we have successfully recreated and enhanced the natural wonders that take millions of years to form. From a valuable selection of minerals, we obtain a powder that, when mixed exclusively with water and processed in our facilities in Italy, gives rise to large-format, high-performance slabs.

Why Lapitec?
Lapitec® is:
- Made by Breton (a 60-year-old Stone machinery business) in Vedelago, Italy – just north of Verona, the home of many natural stone quarries.
- Made using the waste minerals from natural stone mining at the local quarries.
- 100% Silica Free – Crystalline Silica free and the only stone product certified by Work Safe Australia, protecting our fabricators from silicosis.
- ‘Full-bodied’ – the colour and veining is all the way through the slab – and not just a photograph on the top of the slab with contrasting non matched core.
- Available in large format slabs of 3440mm x 1540mm – this is the trimmed and usable size, after the de-tensioning cut around the outside of the slab has been done.
- Available in New Zealand in 12mm and 20mm thickness – 20mm for horizontal surfaces and 12mm for vertical applications.
- Fabricated by ‘Lapitec® Approved Fabricators’ only – businesses and people that are highly experienced and have received specific training on this product by APT and Lapitec®.
