Environmental
Laminam slabs are produced with sustainable technology that respects the

minimum and limit the use of resources. The use of hybrid kilns that
combine gas and electricity significantly reduces CO2 emissions to the
atmosphere.
The slabs, created with natural materials like quarry clays, granite
rocks and ceramic pigments, do not release any substance into the
environment.
