Laminam Cristallo

Laminam Cristallo takes inspiration from the famous Brazilian Crystallo quartzite offering a highly polished surface with a translucent look and superior performance features compared to the natural stone. Crystallo is a natural stone presenting natural fissures and cracks that making challenging to fabricate. During the cutting phase, these natural fissures are susceptible to impact or abrupt actions, making them likely to create cracks on their surface. But with Cristallo, you can now enjoy the untouched beauty of the golden and ivory veins without having to worry about the flaws of the natural stone.

Laminam Spa was the first company to create a  new unseen large size ceramic worktop with minimal thicknesses in 2001. With Italian design and manufacturing blended with stunning materials, the 324 x 162 cm extra-large surface offers a modern and industrial feel without compromising excellent performance.

Description & Features

Cristallo by Laminam has a characteristic white crystal aspect, with stunning natural fissures and veins over its surface. It is often a foggy white hue, with occasional gold or deep red Ivory from natural minerals that comprise it. The stone resembles cracked ice, with beige linen, light grey, and golden veinings enhancing the depth softly, whilst displaying crystalline transparency looks that make it ideal for special interior projects.

Sustainable Worktop

Because Cristallo is an Eco-Friendly brand, it uses 94 per cent of organic products. Therefore, the remaining 6% comprises enamels, glass and colouring ( 4% of the total). Similarly, the surface uses only 2% adhesives and fibres.

Laminam Cristallo provides four main advantages.

• Non-absorbent: It gives a surface with zero water absorption easy and quick to maintain. You can check its highly resistant attributes by ordering a sample.
• Natural material boasts an intelligent manufacturing system that recycles raw materials such as granite, glass, and marble. Therefore, it is a 100% recycled worktop surface.
• Versatile Surface: The brand looks for richer natural resources, comprising over 1,000 samples in its design database. But it only uses the best surfaces as a base for its designs. 
• Durable worktop: Before using the raw materials, several laboratory tests undergo. Not only that it certify its styling appeal, but it also ensures its superior technical characteristics. In addition to testing, the manufacturer offers a 25-year warranty on its Laminam worktops.

Caring for your Laminam surfaces

You can clean Laminam quickly. Therefore,  you won’t have to spend time deep-cleaning your counters. Instead, follow these three easy steps to ensure your kitchen and bathrooms remain germ-free and pristine:

• Daily cleaning: Use hot water and a neutral detergent with a soft cloth or sponge. Then, rinse thoroughly with warm water and dry with a clean, soft towel. But avoid using wax-containing products to avoid matte streaks. Stains that you don’t clean quickly may leave traces on the surface. But, again, it depends on the tolerance of the individual type of finish.
• Tough Stains: To remove stains or extremely stubborn residues from LAMINAM Cristallo, start by cleaning them with hot water and a neutral detergent.
  If this does not remove the stain, employ more abrasive cleansers. For example, you can use non-abrasive neutral pH detergents or slightly abrasive detergents. Similarly, you can use acid or alkali detergents or solvent-based detergents. Contact your worktop supplier for further instructions if you are still in doubt.
• Disinfecting: Generally, it becomes clean and sterilized when scrubbing the surface with water and a neutral detergent. You can use disinfecting wipes, alcohol, or diluted bleach for deep disinfection. Please ensure you follow the instructions on the cleaning product’s label.

Laminam Cristallo Material Attributes

Cristallo porcelain’s main characteristic lies in its high resistance to wear, with a high level of scratch, abrasion and stain resistance properties.

• Eco-Surface: Laminam is relatively simple to care for. Because it has virtually zero water absorption, it does not require extreme care, such as sealing the surface from time to time, as you may do with other stone worktops.
• Recycled Materials: Each Laminam surface comprises 20 and 40% pre-consumer recycled material, depending on the finish. In addition, you can quickly grind and recycle it into various other products. 
• Incredibly Resistant to Stains: The worktops offer a non-absorbent surface. Therefore, Laminam is simple to clean without changing its properties. All you will require is soapy water and a cloth. On the contrary, the only agent that can damage the slabs is hydrofluoric acid.
