Lappato tiles are porcelain tiles and are popular for both floors and walls. “Lappato” refers to the process which manufacturers use to polish the surface of porcelain. The polishing process is simply stopped before the entire surface becomes polished, thus leaving some spots unpolished. This results in a surface that gently reflects light. This surface is more subtle than polished porcelain and a lot more forgiving to high traffic. We at TFO, have one of the biggest ranges of porcelain tiles in Sydney. As well as Italian tiles, timber look tiles, travertine tiles and more. Consequently, we have the largest range of lappato floor tiles and wall tiles all at outlet prices.
