Lapidura Wood Essence Nut

If you want to see that rich, solid, and warm feeling of dark wood in your spaces, Lapidura Wood Essence Nut is an excellent choice. It brings the captivating grain lines and dark brown tones of natural walnut and hazelnut wood to the surface with a smooth texture.

Although it looks entirely like solid wood, it is actually an Italian porcelain produced with advanced technology. Thanks to this, none of the problems we encounter when using natural wood, such as swelling from water, stain absorption, scratching, or requiring sanding/polishing over time, will appear with this slab. You can use that dark and high-quality wood appearance for years as if it were the first day.

Bring the Elegance of Dark Wood to Every Space

The Wood Essence Nut model is produced in enormous sizes like 162×324 cm. While normally it carries a great risk to expose real dark wood to water in wet areas or on kitchen countertops, thanks to this porcelain slab, you can use it freely everywhere. Kitchen and Island Countertops: In kitchens, we generally prefer the substantial 12 mm thickness. Even if oil, vinegar, or coffee spills on the countertop while preparing food, the material does not absorb it. You can wipe it with a damp cloth and finish cleaning instantly. Bathroom and Shower Linings: You can easily apply the wood texture directly inside showers where water flows or on bathroom walls. The thin 6 mm version does not absorb water at all, so it won’t swell, darken, or cause dampness. Living Room Walls and Reception Areas: When applied behind a TV unit in the living room, around a fireplace, or on a large entrance wall, it creates a wonderful contrast with marble, stone, and metal details, adding a very elegant depth to the space.

Why Should You Choose This Porcelain?

Unaffected by Water and Moisture: Unlike real wood, it does not swell, bloat, 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 like the first day.

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 a high-fired porcelain. Since it has zero water absorption, it will not swell, darken, or cause dampness in wet areas.

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

Absolutely not. Real wood countertops can burn and leave marks from hot pots, but this porcelain slab is fired at very high temperatures, making it fully resistant to heat; 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 scratch easily during daily use. Even if you use it in a kitchen or living room that receives sunlight, its dark brown tone will not fade or yellow.
