a completely new dimension an all new skin for architectural surfaces.Laminam is a new concept in decorative surfaces with universal potential for the construction industry. Laminam is a truly versatile and flexible solution with high aesthetic appeal and technical performance.

Breaking the traditional concept of surfaces, Laminam is a full body porcelain tile, but in a revolutionary new format. With a sheet size of 3000mm x 1000mm, but a thickness of just 3.5mm, it is possible to use large ceramic surfaces in previously unthinkable applications.

Laminam is a revolutionary new way to skin contemporary architectural surfaces.

large surfaces with exceptional performance.

Laminam has all the benefits of traditional full body porcelain tiles. Laminam is remarkably strong and has very high resistance to scratching and abrasion. The advanced technology used to produce the slabs makes them easy to clean and resistant to frost, fire, mould and UV rays without altering their colour and properties.

Laminam is the first graffiti proof ceramic surface. It’s easy to clean and even the strongest paints can be easily removed.

LOW MAINTENANCE LAMINAM can be easily cleaned using standard disinfectants and detergents without affecting its surface characteristics.

WEAR RESISTANCE LAMINAM is highly scratch and abrasion resistant. The properties of the slab remain unchanged even after intensive use, and frequent cleaning.

HIGH STRENGTH Due to its excellent mechanical properties, Laminam is suitable for demanding applications like flooring.

LIGHT WEIGHT With a weight of just 7kg per square metre, LAMINAM is very light, making it easier to handle, and reducing weight to building structures.

FROST RESISTANCE LAMINAM’s average water absorption is 0.1% so it’s frost resistant and suitable for all weather conditions.

REACTION TO FIRE LAMINAM does not contain organic material so it’s resistant to fire and high temperatures. In the event of fire it does not release smoke or toxic substances.

HYGIENIC SURFACE Because LAMINAM does not allow the formation of mould, bacteria and fungi, it is perfectly suitable for food preparation areas.

UV RESISTANT LAMINAM does not contain organic pigments and is resistant to UV rays. The colours remain stable even when subjected to severe climate changes.

ECO-FRIENDLY LAMINAM is a totally natural product, and does not release any elements into the environment.

ANTI GRAFFITI LAMINAM is the first graffiti proof ceramic surface. It’s easy to clean and even the strongest paints can be easily removed.

CHEMICAL RESISTANCE LAMINAM resists organic and inorganic solvents, providing a very durable stain resistant surface.

Being light and easy to process, Laminam offers an innovative solution for large surface design projects. Laminam is the perfect solution to enrich interior design projects, in both commercial and residential environments.

It can be used to create high visual impact in traditional tile applications such as floors and walls, and give life to new applications in bathrooms, kitchens and furniture.

Laminam can be used in the building sector to cover indoor and outdoor surfaces, new and existing surfaces, in horizontal or vertical applications.

light and durableAt just 7kg/m2, Laminam is an extremely lightweight construction material. This makes it not only easier to install, but suitable for construction in seismic zones.

The durability of Laminam slabs make them the perfect choice for exterior wall cladding, Laminam cannot rot and will not fade in UV light. Laminam is easy to clean, does not require sealing and does not require expensive maintenance.

Over the total building life cycle, Laminam proves to be a very cost effective cladding material.

The durability of Laminam makes it suitable for both residential & commercial building exteriors.

Laminam panels can be installed onto solid substrates using adhesives and standard tile installation methods to provide high impact feature walls.

Alternatively, Laminam panels can be incorporated into ventilated building facades.

The Laminam ventilated facade system provides the ultimate cladding solution for commercial buildings. The entire system is extremely light, meaning installation is easier and reduces load on the building structure. It also reduces the momentum during seismic events. The system allows movement between panels, without relying on sealants to remain weathertight.

Because panels are mounted on individual cassettes, panels can be serviced easily at a later date if required.

The system has a 45mm drainage cavity, to provide excellent ventilation and pressure equalisation. The weatherability of the system has been fully tested according to ASNZS 4284, and the durability of the total system has been independently appraised.

Made from porcelain stoneware, the slabs are produced using innovative technology; compacting the material before firing in a hybrid, dual-supply (gas then electrical) kiln at temperatures of over 1,220°C. This kiln is designed to ensure an even product. Slabs produced in this way are completely flat. Laminam is produced in all types in full size, 1000mm x 3000mm and smaller sizes can be produced by cutting or trimming to ensure accurate sizing.

Laminam 3+ - Stocked in New Zealand in 3000mm x 1000mm slabsLaminam 3+ is made up of the basic porcelain slab with the structure reinforced with fibreglass matting applied to the back surface using special adhesive. The 3000mm x 1000mm slabs can be cut into other tile formats by local installers. All colours and designs are available in Laminam 3+. Uses of Laminam 3+: Normal wall tile applications; Floor tiles for normal foot traffic (not subjected to heavy wheeled traffic); Exterior cladding Nominal Thickness: 3.5mm

Laminam 5: Imported to orderA limited number of colours and designs are available in the Laminam 5 format. This is simply a thicker variant of the basic porcelain slab, without the requirement for fibreglass reinforcement. Uses of Laminam 5: Wall tiles; Floor tiles subjected to heavy wheeled traffic Nominal Thickness: 5mm

Laminam 7: Imported to orderLaminam 7 is a sandwich made of two Laminam 3 slabs with fibreglass matting placed between the two slabs. Using this production method, all colours and designs are available in this format. Uses of Laminam 7+: Heavy duty floor tiles subjected to heavy wheeled traffic; high impact areas for exterior cladding Nominal Thickness: 7mm

Care & Maintenance Laminam surfaces are easy to clean. For everyday cleaning, it is possible to use mild detergents. Please follow manufacturers guidelines and dilute cleaners when required.

To remove particularly tough stains or residues, generally, it is advisable to carry out an initial clean with hot water and mild detergent. If this operation is not sufficient, depending on the nature of the staining agent, it is possible to use increasingly stronger cleaning techniques, using products such as Jif®, Aquakleen™ or Fila® tile cleaners.
