Laminam

Laminam +3 and 5.6 is suitable for exterior cladding. Large lightweight panels can help reduce loadings on foundations and perimeter columns. Non-combustible and in the event of a fire will not realise smoke or toxic substances. Laminam tiles are frost and U.V resistant and graffiti proof. Suitable for all environments in both commercial and residential settings.

TILE SIZE

Largest format recommended 3000mm x 1000mm vertical wall application.

TILE THICKNESS

+3mm and 5.6 are used for floor or wall application.

INSTALLATION

Must be performed by one of our approved fabricators and installers under Designer Surface.

CS45 CAVITY SYSTEM

Panels mounted on to individual cassette - the system has a 45mm drainage cavity, allows ventilation and equalised pressure. Movement between panels reduces momentum in seismic environments. This weatherproof system is tested according to ASNZS 4284

STANDARD INSTALLATION

Laminam tiles can be installed onto solid substrates using adhesives and standard tile installation. Laminam +3 and 5.6 is suitable for exterior cladding. Large lightweight panels can help reduce loadings on foundations and perimeter columns. Non-combustible and in the event of a fire will not realise smoke or toxic substances. Laminam tiles are frost and U.V resistant and graffiti proof. Suitable for all environments in both commercial and residential settings.

TILE SIZE

Laminam’s technically advanced porcelain tiles and contemporary designs is ideal for interior spaces with scratch and abrasion resistance. Non-combustible Laminam’s heat resistant technology makes it a great option for framing and backing fireplaces.

TILE SIZE Largest format recommended 3000mm x 1000mm vertical wall application. Largest format recommended 1000mm x 1000mm floor application.

TILE THICKNESS +3mm a fibreglass mesh backed tile used for floor or wall application. 7mm used for high traffic floor application.

SUBSTRATE Apply over many substrates new or pre-existing, tiles, concrete, timber, compressed fibre cement and gypsum.

Existing tiled floors must be in good condition. Timber floors require a minimum of 6mm fibre cement overlays, such as tile and slate underlay or Villaboard. All floor substrates must be completely level with a maximum deviation of 3mm per 2 metres.

JOINTS Standard grout joints are to be a minimum of 2mm with movement joints to be a minimum of 8mm. All joints should follow BRANZ good practice guide.

INSTALLATION Must be performed by one of our approved fabricators and installers approved under Laminex.

HEAT Laminam is non-combustible however heat transfer through Laminam should be considered in areas behind fires. Thermal insulation is recommended to minimise heat transfer, and fire manufacturers’ recommendations must be followed.

RESTRICTIONS Horizontal application of the Filo range (as in floors) is not suggested due to the heavily textured surface as more cleaning would be required.

FULL SPECIFICATIONS A full specification for Laminam wall and floor tiles can be found in Masterspec, Section 6211L.

Laminam’s universal application is embellished in bathrooms and wet areas. This multi-purpose surface can be applied to walls, floors, ceiling, vanities and custom made sinks. The hygienic properties do not allow the formation of bacteria and mould. Large sheets allow a more seamless design with up to 80% less grout joints compared to a standard tile. Used by designers for pools and sinks this revolutionary tile is continuously expanding into new spaces.

JOINTS AND EDGES A variety of joint and edge details are possible.

Laminex have entered into a cooperative agreement with Toto who is highly regarded for their innovation and high standards of sanitary ware. The Japanese company has formulated a revolutionary coating that can be applied to Laminam tiles (see colours for available application). The result is the innovative self-cleaning, anti-pollution, bacterial fighting Hydrotect tile.

Laminex Hydrotect is an eco-compatible product that triggers a chemical and biological reaction (with a positive impact) to light and moisture. Hydrotect tiles use a hybrid photocatalytic coating that contains nontoxic titanium dioxide. This surface utilises the abilities of light, water and oxygen - making a material that improves environmental conditions.

The self-cleaning technologies naturally wash away dirt and pollutions, purifying atmospheric conditions, breaking down nitrogen oxides and greenhouse gases. The environmental impact is recognised in both exterior and interior spaces.

The clear coating and its advanced technological attributes will last a lifetime (unless physically removed from tile) requiring no electrical or energy renewal.
