Laminam is completely non-porous, which means it does not absorb liquids, oils, or staining agents. Coffee, red wine, cooking oil, and most household chemicals can simply be wiped away with a damp cloth and mild detergent — no sealing required, ever. This is a significant advantage over natural stone surfaces like marble or granite, which must be regularly sealed to prevent staining. For Melbourne families with busy kitchens, Laminam’s ease of maintenance makes it a highly practical and hygienic choice for benchtops, bathrooms, and other surfaces.
