Stone Alboran Vinyl

Piedra Alborán: soft mineral stone in a balanced mid tone

Piedra Alborán is a technical stone-effect vinyl with a calm mineral aesthetic, inspired by softly layered limestone. Its palette moves through beige greige, dusty sand and warm grey veils, with gentle earthy movement that adds depth without making the surface feel heavy. It does not read as too light or too dark: it sits in a balanced mid tone that is easy to integrate into spaces needing material continuity without visual overload. The overall texture feels matte, refined and architectural, with a natural surface reading suited to real interior applications.

In decorative compositions, it works especially well with wood-effect finishes in light and medium tones, where it supports a bright Mediterranean direction. Combined with soft cement looks, it maintains a restrained and contemporary language. When paired with white marble effects and solid colours in chalk, linen, sand or muted green, the result becomes more pared back. With darker woods, black handles and deeper shades, it moves towards a contemporary luxury mood; and when metallic accents are reduced and fibres, plastered finishes and soft earth tones take over, it naturally fits a warm wabi-sabi setting.

Because of that visual flexibility, Piedra Alborán fits comfortably into Mediterranean, contemporary, minimalist and wabi-sabi interiors. It adds texture without creating visual noise and supports the room without disappearing. This makes it especially effective on full walls, shower areas, kitchen splashbacks and visually continuous countertop surfaces.

Its most common applications are countertops, kitchen walls, splashbacks, shower walls, vanity areas and bathroom floors. It can also be used on islands, bars, tables and selected kitchen furniture, although on furniture it tends to perform best on broad, clean fronts rather than on highly exposed detail areas. It is available in matte, gloss and an R10 anti-slip safety finish for floors, especially recommended for residential bathrooms and areas without frequent furniture dragging.

Technical block

Piedra Alborán is designed to upgrade surfaces without building work while delivering high technical performance. It is waterproof, steam-resistant, suitable for frequent cleaning and visually stable in demanding everyday use. In kitchen settings, two properties are especially important: its fire-rated behaviour and its true waterproof performance, suitable for splashes, constant humidity and intense water exposure. In bathrooms, shower walls and horizontal applications such as countertops, tables or bars, it can be used in situations involving standing water, provided the application is correctly installed. It also includes UV protection, helping preserve its colour both indoors and outdoors. It complies with DIN EN 13501-1 B-s1,d0: B means low contribution to fire, s1 means minimal smoke, and d0 means no flaming droplets.

Durability and manufacturing

Its durability reaches up to 8 years outdoors and more than 10 years indoors. Like the rest of Lokoloko’s stone-inspired designs, Piedra Alborán is an original design created by the Lokoloko studio, manufactured in Spain with German raw material and certified eco inks. It is conceived as a high-performance technical surface rather than a generic print, with a material reading intended for real architectural spaces.

Surface compatibility

Recommended surfaces: smooth well-bonded tiles, flat walls, lacquered or melamine furniture in good condition, even countertops, kitchen fronts, tables, bars and clean compact substrates.

Precautions before installation: avoid heavy textured walls, dusty or greasy surfaces, exposed silicone, flaking paint or unstable substrates. On floors, it is not the best option for areas with constant dragging of heavy furniture.

Micro FAQ

• Can it be installed over existing tiles?
  Yes, as long as the tiles are firm, clean and properly degreased. The flatter and more stable the base, the better the final visual result will be.
• Which finish is recommended for a bathroom floor?
  The R10 anti-slip version is the recommended finish for floors. It is especially intended for residential bathrooms and areas without frequent furniture dragging.
• How should it be cleaned in kitchens or showers?
  Use a soft cloth or a non-abrasive sponge with water and regular cleaning products. Aggressive scouring pads should be avoided to preserve the finish.
• Can it handle frequent cleaning?
  Yes, it is designed for regular maintenance in kitchens and bathrooms. The surface supports repeated cleaning without losing colour stability or its material reading.
• Which surfaces work best?
  It adheres best to smooth, stable and well-bonded substrates. Smooth tiles, lacquered finishes, stable melamine and skim-coated walls usually provide the best result.
