LAMINAM unveils its new series of extra-large slabs 1600x3200 mm at Marmomacc

LAMINAM, world leader in the production of large-sized, ultra-thin ceramic slabs for architecture, interiors and design, will be present at Marmomacc in Verona with a 160 sq.m. stand designed by art director Alessandra Stefani: a minimal futurist setting revealing all the latest news and the jewel in the brand's crown, the new series of extra large slabs.
With its turnover growing by 30% thanks to the variable thickness 1000x3000 mm slabs, reaching 40 million EUR in 2014 and in line with the forecasts of 50 million for this year, the company founded in 2001 by Franco Stefani is unstoppable, and ever ready for new challenges and ideas, it is launching a new product on the market, 1600x3200 mm slabs with thickness from 6 to 20 mm, hot off the fourth production line which was added to the previous 3 in July 2015.
These new large surfaces, which remain perfectly regular and defect-free even in the oversize versions, are made using the new Gea press system, the strength and beating heart of the Laminam production, with a cutting-edge pressing technology based on the laying of the powders directly on the belt without the use of specific trolleys: the slab therefore has no tension and is free to expand, reducing energy consumption by 50% compared to conventional pressing systems and a production process that recovers all the materials used in the cycle.
Innovation and environmental sustainability thus blend with the creative energy and sophisticated language that marks all of Laminam's collections: for the new extra-large series 5 families of textures have been created, inspired by elements such as concrete, marble, wood, iron and solid beams, in a range of colours with a total of 14 finishes, the evocative power of which is enhanced to the full by the sculptural size of the slab.
Functionally, the new 1600x3200 mm series increase the freedom of use of the material, further broadening the range of possible applications, targeting both the building sector for ventilated facades, where the larger size reduces the number of joints between the panels and therefore the risk of rainwater infiltration, as well as improving visual continuity, and the furnishing and design sector, particularly that of large, top-of-the-range island kitchens, where these extra-large ceramic slabs offer an alternative to other materials such as marble and stone slabs, which have a higher cost and greater environmental impact.
Bearing witness to the desire to enter this market segment is the company's decision to take part in Marmomacc, the international materials, design and technologies trade fair held from 30 September to 3 October in Verona. Here the Laminam exhibition area focuses on the high-tech impact of the new slabs, positioned horizontally on metal “A Frame” supports, the same containers used at the end of the production cycle, created specifically to allow the slabs to be layered without compromising on their integrity. An abstract technical perimeter that encompasses two interior “island” settings, a reception area and a kitchen area, showing the material as it could be used in contract or residential settings thanks to the main characteristics and great value of the Laminam material: hygiene, easy cleaning, heat resistance, wear-and scratch-proof, inalterable slab colour over time, which make them ideal in both interiors, blending design and performance, and exteriors, where they withstand the effects of atmospheric agents.
At first glance, the stand design choices reflect the experimental DNA and unique philosophy of LAMINAM: the brand that is a byword for innovative material - a revolutionary ceramic slab, the results of a unique production technology - continuously seeking new destinations and new incentives, to discover the new possible faces of ceramics, a blend of reason, will, passion and expressiveness.
