The Stone

See the natural beauty of Rapolano up close — the surface texture, colour depth, and veining that make this porcelain unique.

Warm cream and beige in tasteful Tuscan contrast — a vibrant, tactile marble-effect inspired by the quarries of Rapolano Terme.

Laminam Rapolano brings the character of Tuscan quartry marble to your kitchen with a surface that balances warmth, texture, and visual richness. Its cream and ivory base is contrasted by deeper warm beige and tan areas that create tasteful, natural tonal variation — pale sections emerging in gentle relief against the warmer background. Unlike smoother marble-effects, Rapolano carries a genuinely tactile quality thanks to the Rare collection's DNA finish, which modifies the surface structure to create a three-dimensional stone character. The result is vibrant and alive — a surface that feels handcrafted rather than manufactured. For homeowners seeking a warm, Mediterranean aesthetic that celebrates natural imperfection, Rapolano delivers authentic Italian stone character.

Frequently Asked

Questions About Rapolano

What stone does Laminam Rapolano reference?
Rapolano takes its name from the famous travertine quarries of Rapolano Terme in Tuscany — one of Italy's most historic and celebrated natural stone sources. The porcelain surface captures the warm, layered character of Italian travertine with its characteristic horizontal banding, natural voids, and sun-warmed colouring. Part of the Rare collection, it represents Laminam's most luxurious interpretation of this iconic stone.
Does Laminam Rapolano have the pitted texture of natural travertine?
Laminam Rapolano captures the visual essence of travertine's characteristic banding and tonal variation without the open pores and pitting that can make natural travertine challenging in kitchen environments. The surface is completely smooth and non-porous, so there are no voids to trap food particles or liquids — delivering all of travertine's warmth and visual beauty with none of its practical drawbacks.
What colours dominate Laminam Rapolano?
Rapolano is characterised by warm cream, golden-beige, and honey tones — the sun-warmed palette associated with Tuscan architecture. Horizontal banding in slightly varying tones creates a layered, geological effect that is quintessentially travertine. The overall impression is one of Mediterranean warmth, sophistication, and timeless Italian elegance.
Is Laminam Rapolano heat-resistant?
Yes — like all Laminam surfaces, Rapolano is heat-resistant up to 300°C. You can place hot pans, baking trays, and even oven dishes directly on the surface without causing damage, scorch marks, or discolouration. This is a significant practical advantage over both natural travertine (which can crack under thermal shock) and engineered quartz (which can be damaged by heat above approximately 150°C).
How does Laminam Rapolano look as a full-height splashback?
Rapolano makes an outstanding full-height splashback, particularly when paired with worktops in the same material. The horizontal banding creates a sense of natural geological layering that flows from worktop to wall, and the warm tones glow beautifully under kitchen lighting. Using the thinner 3mm or 5mm format for the splashback allows a seamless visual connection while keeping the installation slim against the wall.
★★★★★
"Excellent Service and Beautiful Results - Highly Recommended! I recently had In2stone install new quartz worktops in my kitchen, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From start to finish, the experience was completely stress-free. The team was not only competitively priced but also incredibly friendly and professional throughout the entire process. They handled everything seamlessly - removing the existing sink, hob, and old laminate worktops before fitting the new quartz surfaces. The finished worktops are absolutely beautiful and have transformed my kitchen into a modern, minimalist space that I love spending time in. The quality of workmanship is outstanding, and the attention to detail really shows. I'm a very satisfied customer and would highly recommend In2stone to anyone considering new worktops. Well done to the entire team - you've exceeded my expectations!"
