Benefits of Laminam
Easy to clean and maintain
Laminam is simple, fast and easy to clean. Laminam has no special maintenance requirements as time goes by; generally speaking, all you need to clean the surface is warm water and a neutral detergent.
Suitable for contact with foodstuffs
Laboratory tests have proven that Laminam is totally compatible with foodstuffs, as it does not release elements in solution.
Impervious surface
Laminam surface porosity is 0.1% average.
Dimensional stability
Laminam is not subject to dimensional variations of any significance, as it has a low coefficient of thermal expansion.
Resistant to heat and high temperatures
Laminam does not contain any organic, materials therefore it is resistant to fire and high temperatures. In the event of fire, does not release smoke or toxic substances. Used as a kitchen benchtop, it is suitable for direct contact with hot surfaces, such as pots and pans.
Resistant to detergents and cleaning products**
Laminam is not affected by prolonged contact with normal household detergents, including products to eliminate grease or lime scale. It is extremely easy to clean while maintaining unaltered the characteristics of the surface.
Resistant to thermal shock
Sudden changes in outdoor temperature will not damage Laminam.
Resistant to UV rays, no alteration to colours
Laminam surface is not affected by exposure to UV light and will preserve its original good looks throughout its lifetime.
Resistant to scratches and abrasions**
Laminam is resistant to scratching and deep abrasion. Its properties do not change even if it is subjected to intensive use and frequent cleaning.
Hygienic surface
Laminam surfaces are ideal for application in places where maximum hygiene is needed.
Resistant to mould and fungi
Laminam does not allow mould, bacteria or fungi to grow.
Resistant to freeze-thaw
Laminam is frost resistant and suitable for any weather condition, thanks to its low average water absorption (0.1%).
Suitable for indoor and outdoor applications
Laminam can be used both for interior and exterior décor. Weathering exposure does not damage or alter surfaces.
Resistant to staining**
Laminam is not affected by prolonged contact with products commonly found in the kitchen that can cause staining, such as wine, coffee, olive oil or lemon juice, and its colour or shine will not be affected permanently.
Resistant to chemicals, acids, alkalis and solvents**
Laminam is not affected to organic and inorganic solvents, chemical and disinfectants. The only chemical that can damage porcelain is hydrofluoric acid.
Resistant to humidity
The porcelain surface of Laminam is not affected by long-term humidity.
Resistant to deflection
Laminam has a high modulus of rupture.
Graffiti proof
Laminam is the first graffiti proof porcelain surface; it is easy to clean and even the strongest paints can be easily removed.
Eco-friendly and recyclable
Laminam is a product made of 100% natural materials. It does not release any elements into the environment and can be easily milled and recycled in other manufacturing processes.
** Not guaranteed for Laminam Lucidato as it is more sensitive than other Laminam surfaces. However, Laminam Lucidato surfaces still offer a similar or a better performance than other worktop materials.
