Lapidura Wood Essence Almond

If you want to see the warm, natural, and comforting ambiance of wood in your home but don’t want to deal with the difficulties of wood maintenance, Lapidura Wood Essence Almond is exactly the model you’re looking for. It brings the soft and peaceful color of almond tones, combined with the natural grain texture of wood, into your spaces.

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

Utilize It in Different Areas of Your Home

The Wood Essence Almond model is produced in massive sizes like 162×324 cm. While direct contact of real wood with water in the bathroom or on kitchen countertops normally carries a significant risk, this porcelain slab allows you to move freely in every area. Kitchen and Island Countertops: We prefer a solid thickness of 12 mm 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 Linings: You can bring the wood 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 Welcome Areas: When applied behind a TV unit in the living room or on a large entrance wall, it creates a wonderful contrast with stone 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: It is not affected by hot pots or oven trays, and 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 as good as 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. 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 fired at very high temperatures, making it fully heat resistant; 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 will not easily scratch during daily use. Even if you use it in a kitchen or living room that receives sunlight, its almond-toned color will not fade or yellow.
