Rapolano

The Rapolano is a porcelain tile with a stone effect finish in a warm Mineral Sand tone. It captures the natural texture and depth of real stone while offering the durability and low maintenance that porcelain is known for, making it a practical yet elegant choice for any home.

The Rapolano comes in a 120x60cm large format, which is ideal for making rooms feel more open and spacious. The generous size means fewer grout joints across the floor, giving a cleaner, more seamless appearance that works particularly well in open plan living areas.

Yes, the Rapolano is well suited to high-traffic areas such as kitchens, hallways, and open plan living spaces. Its porcelain construction is hard-wearing and resistant to everyday wear, and the light Mineral Sand tone helps to brighten spaces that may lack natural light.

For large format tiles like the Rapolano, we recommend a minimum grout joint of 3mm, though many installers opt for 5mm to allow for minor variation in tile dimensions and to ensure a professional finish. Using a narrow joint will help maintain the clean, uninterrupted stone effect look this tile is designed to deliver.

Due to their large 120x60cm format, Rapolano tiles should be laid using a flexible, large format tile adhesive suitable for porcelain. It is important to use the full-bed method, also known as back-buttering, to ensure full coverage beneath the tile and prevent hollow spots, which is standard practice for tiles of this size.
