Description
Lava is a series of unglazed through-body porcelain tiles
created by Apavisa, one of Spain's leading porcelain tile
manufacturers. The Lava pattern simulates the sophisticated
look of our highly popular modernist volcanic stone, Basaltina,
with slightly directional markings.
Colors & Finishes
Lava is offered in four colors: light, medium and dark gray,
plus beige; and four finishes: Natural (matte), Lappato (polished),
Rigato (line textured) and Bocciardato (flamed). In addition,
there are three glazed metallic colors with a line textured
surface, plus mosaics, accents, bullnose
and stair treads.
Sizes
All Lava colors and finishes are available in a 12"x24" tile size.
Other sizes are available, depending on color and finish.
See the size availability chart below.
Applications
Lava is highly durable, easy to maintain, stain resistant
and slip resistent (ASTM C1028: Natural finish - dry 0.70,
wet 0.67; Polished finish - dry 0.72, wet - 0.65;
Flamed finish - dry 0.65, wet 0.61). Tiles are suitable for
interior and exterior walls, exterior paving and interior
floors, including heavy traffic commercial floors.
