Lapotra Granite
Lapotra Granite FAQs: Finish, Applications, Pricing & Buying Guide
The Lapotra finish (also known as Lapato finish) is a semi-polished, leather-like textured surface created through a combination of polished and brushing processes. It results in a dual-level texture — parts of the granite have a soft, matte feel, while selected high points reflect a subtle, controlled shine. This finish brings together the natural anti-slip grip of leathered granite with a touch of visual depth similar to polished surfaces. When light hits the surface, you’ll notice a slight shimmer without the full gloss of polished granite.
Where is Lapotra granite commonly used?
Lapotra finish granite is commonly used in outdoor and indoor flooring, wall cladding, staircases, building entrances, wet areas like porches or bathroom dry zones. Its anti-slip and aesthetic texture make it ideal for high-footfall zones in both residential and commercial spaces.
Is black Lapotra granite a good option for stairs and flooring?
Yes, black Lapotra granite is one of the most preferred choices for flooring and staircases due to its durability and textured, non-slip surface. It offers a rugged, natural look with the practicality of easy maintenance and high wear resistance.
Are Lapotra granite tiles available?
Yes, Lapotra granite tiles are available in standard and custom sizes for both wall and floor use. They are a great choice for areas where slip resistance and texture are important, such as foyers, pathways, stairs and corridors.
How is Lapotra finish different from polished or leathered granite?
A polished finish is glossy and reflective. A leathered finish is fully matte and textured. Lapotra granite blends the two — it has the texture of leathered granite with a soft shine on the upper surface. This finish brings out the natural pattern of the stone while maintaining a non-slip surface, ideal for flooring and staircases.
Are Lapotra granite tiles available for indoor use?
Yes, Lapotra granite tiles are available in a range of sizes and can be used for indoor flooring, wall cladding, and stair treads. Their finish makes them ideal for areas like living rooms, foyers, or office corridors where a low-glare yet stylish surface is preferred.
What are the available Lapotra granite colours?
Most granite color varieties can be made available in Lapotra finish. Common options include black, white, grey, brown, and red granite. The Lapotra process works well across a wide range of granite types, adding a subtle shine and texture while maintaining the natural character of the stone. If you're unsure whether your preferred color is available in this finish, we recommend requesting a sample. Our team can help you confirm availability based on your project needs.
What is the price of Lapotra granite?

What is Lapato Granite / Lapotra Granite?
The Lapato granite finish is a leathered finish that has a subtle shine to it. Typically, a leathered finish has a textured, matte appearance. However, when a shine is added to it, achieves a unique look that combines the qualities of both leathered and polished finishes. It feels like a two-level finish with a polished upper level and a leather-like matte lower level. It is a combination of finishes where a certain level of the stone is polished, and others have a leathered finish.
Lapotra granite, alternatively spelt as lapatra granite or lapatro granite, is commonly referred to as lappato granite.
The Lapato finish offers a distinctive surface that is less reflective compared to a high-gloss finish. It combines both matte and gloss characteristics, resulting in a unique appearance. The finish maintains a certain level of lustre or shine, although it is not as glossy as a typical polished surface. The outcome showcases a fine-grained or subtly textured appearance, offering a more understated and modern aesthetic. Lapato finish is a popular choice for those who want a balance between the sophistication of a polished surface and the subtleness of a matte finish.
