Laminam offers many of the aesthetic qualities of natural stone — particularly marble-effect and stone-effect finishes — while significantly outperforming it in practical terms. Unlike natural marble, Laminam is non-porous (no sealing required), stain resistant, heat resistant, UV stable, and consistent in colour and pattern across slabs. Natural stone is prone to etching from acidic liquids, staining from oils and wine, and cracking under thermal shock. Laminam is also available in larger slab formats than most natural stone, allowing truly seamless installations. For Melbourne homeowners who love the look of marble but want a more durable, lower-maintenance surface, Laminam is the ideal alternative.
