What Is Soft Matt Finish? The Ultimate Proxy for Honed Stone
Many customers confuse “Honed” with “Lappato” (semi-polished) or “Satin,” but our Soft Matt is a revolutionary, non-mechanical technology. While traditional smooth-grip or matte tiles focus on safety, the Soft Matt finish is the industry’s secret to a seamless, stone-inspired flow.
- Technology: Unlike Lappato tiles which are mechanically ground, Soft Matt is achieved through a specialized satin glaze.
- Reflection: Experience zero glare. The surface absorbs light rather than reflecting it, making it ideal for rooms with large floor-to-ceiling windows.
- Texture: Described as “velvety” or “buttery,” it is indistinguishable from high-quality honed limestone or marble.
- Performance: Achieves a P1 slip rating, focusing purely on interior luxury and tactile comfort.
Key Differences: Soft Matt vs. Lappato (Satin)
- Glow: Lappato/Satin tiles have a faint “shimmer” reflection under downlights. Soft Matt remains completely flat and light-absorbing for a more organic look.
- Authenticity: Soft Matt feels almost identical to a honed piece of Tundra Grey or Crema Marfil marble. Lappato can sometimes feel slightly “processed” or sticky, whereas Soft Matt is consistently silky.
Aesthetic Profile and Architectural Formats
To ensure a seamless design flow throughout your project, the Gold Rush series is available in three sophisticated tones—Light, Medium, and Dark—and two high-demand formats:
- Available Sizes: 1200mm x 600mm & 600mm x 600mm (9mm Thickness)
- Finish: Soft Matt (The Modern Honed)
- Styles: Also available in a Lappato finish for projects requiring a subtle, upscale shimmer.
Design Trends: Honed Porcelain for Natural Stone Continuity
One of the biggest trends in Melbourne’s high-end suburbs like Brighton and Hampton is “Material Continuity.” Designers are now using our honed porcelain floor tiles to match natural stone benchtops and countertop projects. This allows you to achieve a cohesive, stone-look interior without the porous nature or high cost of real stone flooring.
Technical & Performance Specifications
Engineered to outperform natural stone in the Australian environment, the Gold Rush Light range offers:
- P1 Slip Resistance: Specialized for internal living areas, foyers, and master ensuites.
- 9mm Lightweight Profile: Significantly easier and more cost-effective to install on vertical feature fireplace walls than heavy 20mm natural stone slabs.
- Non-Porous: Resists wine, oil, and acidic spills that would permanently stain natural honed marble.
