Lago Quartzite features gluedown installation, allowing for versatile laying patterns including straight lay, brick bond, or offset arrangements.

Add Karndean Design Strips between tiles for authentic grouting effects. Compatible with underfloor heating systems up to 27°C—eliminating the cold sensation of natural stone.
