Laminam is a ceramic based surface that is increasingly being used for kitchen countertops, flooring, and even for outdoor walls. This material was first created in 2001. The idea was to create a material that would be strong and versatile, while not being too bulky and thick. As with many other beautiful stones, it was in Italy the county in which the surface was originally developed. Some years after its creation, Laminam kitchen worktops and other Laminam surfaces have become commonly seen among residential and commercial spaces across the world. Are you wondering what makes this material so popular for kitchen worktops and flooring? Let’s find out.
You may take something out of the fridge and place it on the granite countertops, then put it back in the fridge and place a hot pan on the same area.
Large Slabs
A smooth and seamless look is what everyone desires for their kitchen worktops and floor. And, Laminam provides just that. Laminam tiles are available as large slabs which require fewer, or no joints. A unique feature of Laminam worktops is that they look like they have been cut out of a single slab. Even when used for floor tiling, the joints are not that apparent. This gives a luxurious look to the home, office and workplace. Similarly, Laminam wall cladding results in a graceful application. It can turn heads of both visitors and onlookers.
Durability
The process of creating Laminam makes it very durable. It is made by wet grinding granite, raw clay materials, metamorphic rocks, and ceramic pigments. The resulting material is then shaped using a compactor that helps it reach the desired thickness and cured at 1200 degree Celsius. Finally, the slab is reinforced with an inert material such as fibreglass blanket which is bonded to the back of the slab. All of this makes the Laminam tiles very durable and almost at par with granite in this respect.
Hygienic
Laminam ceramic tiles are made to undergo many tests to make sure that they don’t release any harmful elements. Even if you place food items directly on the surface, Laminam will not react to it in any way. This is an essential property for any material to be used as a kitchen worktop since this area is constantly in contact with food. In addition, the non-porous and non-absorbent nature of the material avoids the proliferation of bacteria. This is one of the reasons as to why more and more restaurants, hotels and high-end establishments are using these decorative surfaces.
Easy to Clean
Not only do Laminam tiles not react to food, but they also do not react to chemical cleaners as well. Since they are non-porous, they don’t retain any stains. Whether it is a kitchen worktop or a floor, a material that is easy to clean is always what you should go for.
Resistant to Heat and Temperature Variations
Kitchen worktops are constantly subjected to heat and cold. You may take something out of the fridge and place it on the counter top, then put it back in the fridge and place a hot pan on the same area. This is a very common scenario in any kitchen. Laminam can handle these huge temperature deviations and not get damaged in any way because of it. The ability to handle temperature variations is a valid consideration while selecting ceramic tiles for the floor as well.
