Lapidura Wood Essence Oak

If you want to feel the timeless, fresh, and natural texture of oak wood in your spaces, Lapidura Wood Essence Oak is exactly the model you’re looking for. It brings the relaxing yellow-honey tones and elegant grain lines of natural oak to a smooth porcelain surface.

Although it offers the warmth of natural solid oak in appearance, it is actually an Italian porcelain produced with advanced technology. Thanks to this, none of the problems we encounter with real wood, such as swelling from water, scratching, staining, burning, or requiring sanding/polishing over time, will appear with this slab. You can enjoy the aesthetics of oak for many years with zero maintenance effort.

Bring the Warmth of Oak Texture to Every Space

The Wood Essence Oak model is produced in enormous sizes like 162×324 cm. While direct contact with water in a bathroom or kitchen countertop normally poses a great risk for real oak, this porcelain slab allows you to move freely in every area. Kitchen and Island Countertops: We prefer the 12 mm thick version for kitchens. Even if tea, oil, tomato paste spills or a hot pot touches the surface while preparing food on the countertop, the surface remains unaffected. You can wipe it with a damp cloth and finish cleaning instantly. Bathroom and Shower Interior Claddings: You can bring the oak texture directly into the shower where water flows or onto bathroom walls. The thin 6 mm version does not absorb water at all, so it won’t swell, mold, or cause dampness, and cleaning is extremely simple. Living Room Walls and Reception Areas: When applied behind a TV unit in the living room or on a large entrance wall, it creates a wonderful contrast with marble or metal details, adding an extremely warm and architectural atmosphere to the environment.

Why Should You Choose This Porcelain?

Unaffected by Water and Moisture: Unlike real wood, it does not swell, expand, or rot when exposed to water; it can be safely used in wet areas.
Stain Resistant: Thanks to its non-porous porcelain surface, oil, tea, coffee, and acidic liquids do not penetrate the material.
Heat and Burn Resistant: Unaffected by hot pots or oven trays, no burn marks form on its surface.
Hard Surface Against Scratches: Its surface is incomparably harder than solid wood. It does not scratch easily with daily use.
No Polishing or Maintenance Required: There is no need for sanding or applying protective oil/polish over time; it always remains like new.

Questions You Might Have

Will this wood-look slab wear out in the bathroom or shower?

No, it will not wear out at all. Because although the product looks like wood, it is physically high-fired porcelain. Since it has zero water absorption, it does not swell, darken, or cause dampness in wet areas.

Will it be affected by hot pots when used as a kitchen countertop?

Absolutely not affected. Real wood countertops can burn and leave marks from hot pots, but this porcelain slab is fully heat resistant because it is fired at very high temperatures; you can comfortably place hot containers on it.

Will its color fade or its surface scratch over time?

No, it will not. Its surface is very hard and does not scratch easily in the hustle and bustle of daily use. Even if you use it in a kitchen or living room that receives sunlight, its oak-toned color will not fade or yellow.
