Luxury Stone 2.0 is a ceramic slab designed for interior floors and walls. The slab offers two textures within one surface. The convex areas feel warm and smooth, while the concave areas feel naturally rough. Marble patterns are reproduced with digital structure and positioned glue grit technology, which gives a soft and realistic stone feel.
