Fire-Rated, Slip-Resistant, and UV-Proof: The Benefits of Laminam for Cladding and Flooring.
At Studio Porcelain, we’re proud to be the NSW distributor of Laminam—a revolutionary surface designed for both interior and exterior wall cladding and flooring. Whether you’re designing a residential space or a high-traffic commercial project, Laminam offers unmatched durability, beauty, and environmental responsibility.
What is Laminam?
Over 25 years ago, Laminam pioneered the production of large-format porcelain slabs, transforming the way surfaces are designed and applied. Today, they remain at the forefront of innovation with a patented, mould-free manufacturing technology that eliminates internal tension—ensuring greater stability, flexibility, and performance than conventional porcelain products.
Laminam is available in a variety of finishes and colours replicating the look of marble, concrete, metal and other surfaces. Without the maintenance of natural surfaces.
Why Choose Laminam for Wall Cladding and Flooring?
From interior feature walls to external facades, Laminam delivers exceptional performance in all environments. Here’s why it’s the ideal choice.
- Fire Rated: Laminam is non-combustible, making it ideal for use in both residential and commercial applications.
- High Slip Ratings: With multiple surface textures available, Laminam meets required slip ratings, making it suitable for both walls and floors in wet areas or public spaces.
- Graffiti Resistant: Its non-porous surface means graffiti can be easily wiped away, making it perfect for urban or high-traffic settings.
- UV and Weather Resistant: Laminam withstands exposure to sun, rain, frost, and pollution without fading, warping, or degrading over time. This makes it an ideal solution for external wall cladding in Australia’s harsh climate.
- Stain & Scratch Resistant: Whether installed externally or in a kitchen, or bathroom, Laminam is designed to maintain its beauty even with heavy daily.
Laminam surfaces are lightweight, making them far easier to handle and transport than traditional, bulkier flooring materials
Versatile & Practical
Using ceramic as a flooring solution is both practical and efficient—especially with Laminam slabs. Thanks to their slim profile, these slabs can be installed directly over existing flooring, reducing overall thickness and simplifying installation. This not only speeds up the process but also minimises on-site downtime.
Laminam surfaces are lightweight, making them far easier to handle and transport than traditional, bulkier flooring materials. They’re also ideal for use with underfloor heating systems, offering excellent heat conduction while remaining resistant to thermal shock.
Beyond performance, Laminam ceramic surfaces are highly resistant to moisture and adverse weather conditions, making them a dependable choice for both indoor and outdoor applications. Their non-porous structure prevents water absorption and helps inhibit the growth of mould, mildew, and fungi—ensuring a cleaner, healthier, and more hygienic environment.
Perfect for bathrooms, swimming pools, outdoor staircases, wellness spas, and other humid spaces, Laminam offers a durable and elegant solution for a wide range of flooring and cladding needs.
Sustainability at the Core
Sustainability is built into the DNA of Laminam. Manufactured using natural raw materials and produced through a low-emissions process, Laminam is an environmentally conscious solution from start to finish.
- Eco-Friendly Production: Laminam slabs are made with up to 100% natural raw materials and made up of 60% recycled material, which is why Laminam can easily be recycled and recovered.
- Low Impact on the Environment: Thanks to its thin, lightweight form, Laminam, 2mm, 3mm and 5mm requires less raw material and energy to produce and transport.
- Long Lifespan: Its durability and timeless aesthetic mean less replacement, repair, and waste—supporting circular design principles.
Design Without Compromise
Whether you’re looking to create a seamless floor-to-wall transition or a striking architectural facade, Laminam offers designers the freedom to achieve their vision without compromise.
- Available in various slab sizes 3240x1620mm and 3000x1000mm, perfect for cladding entire walls with minimal joins.
- Lightweight yet strong, ideal for high-rise and large-scale commercial applications.
- Suitable for interior and exterior cladding, wet areas, kitchens, and even furniture.
One of Laminam‘s greatest strengths lies in its ability to deliver seamless lines with minimal joins, especially when using large-format slabs. This not only creates a cleaner, more elegant aesthetic, but also makes cleaning faster and easier, particularly in wet or high-use areas.
For installers, Laminam‘s 2mm, 3mm, and 5mm thicknesses can be snap-cut and scored directly on site, making the process more efficient and reducing the need for heavy cutting equipment. The result? Quicker installs and a more cost-effective outcome—without compromising on quality or design impact.
