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.
- Natural Product: Cristallo by Laminam uses clays, feldspars and silicon are the primary materials to create its countertops. They have all been carefully put together and chosen. Therefore, the first objective is to ensure an even, impurity-free composition.
- Varied Thickness: Laminam provides surfaces in various thicknesses, ensuring the same surface qualities across all product thicknesses. You can choose from thicknesses of 3 mm, 5 mm, 12 mm and 20 mm.
- 25-year manufacturer's warranty: Laminam boasts a 25-year manufacturer's warranty that you can quickly register upon your project's completion.

Laminam, a pioneer in manufacturing porcelain worktops for building and decoration, has two locations in Italy: Fiorano and Borgotaro (Parma), dedicated to 1620x3240 mm size slabs.
LAMINAM is simple to clean and keep in good condition. Use a soft cloth or sponge to clean your LAMINAM surfaces on a regular basis. If necessary, use hot water and a mild detergent. Follow the directions on the detergent's bottle or label. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and dry with a microfibre cloth.
You can cut Laminam using machinery designed for natural and synthetic stone, granite, glass, and marble. However, the cutting operator should conduct initial testing on samples before making cuts or beginning the fabrication. It is so to effectively test and configure the machine and tools in question.
If the cut quality is poor or the procedure breaks the slab, the cause might be an incorrect feed rate, incorrect pressure, or incorrect tool rotation speed.
Laminam is a refined porcelain stone produced by Laminam SPA, a leading ceramic brand in the ceramic industry. It is also known as a sintered stone of excellent quality and superior features. It is non-porous, practical and easy to clean, meaning you don't have to maintain it or use marble cleansers on its surface.
Cristallo is an entirely natural food-safe material since it does not emit components in its mixture (even in the case of a fire) and does not enable moulds and fungus to grow.
Laminam is an innovative Italian ceramic surface comprising sand, feldspars, clays other natural materials.
Its 0.1% liquid absorption rate makes it suitable for kitchens and bathrooms because of its stain, heat and scratch resistant properties. In addition, the material boasts nine globally recognized systems and products certificates, making it perfect for both residential and commercial settings.
LAMINAM is simple to clean and keep in perfect condition. Use a cloth or sponge to clean your LAMINAM surface regularly. If needed, use hot water to remove grease marks and a mild detergent quickly. Then, rinse thoroughly with warm water and dry with a towel.
Laminam is extremely strong and durable: its virtually zero water absorption feature makes it highly resistant to scratches and stains whilst ensuring that the surface does not degrade over time. A 10-year manufacturer's warranty is a testimony to the resistance and durability of LAMINAM.
The two key differences between these materials are that quartzite is a natural stone presenting porosity and natural fissured, making it prone to cracking. On the other hand, Laminam Cristallo is non-porous, making it impervious to liquids whilst making its surface highly resistant to impact and cracks.
