Laminam Launching New Slate Collection in North America During KBIS 2025
Laminam reinvents the timeless beauty of natural Slate stone, offering an unmatched organic look with unparalleled durability
Toronto, ON. (January 27, 2025) – Laminam, the global Italian leader in large-format porcelain slabs, will officially launch its new Slate Collection in North America during the Kitchen and Bath Industry Show (KBIS) taking place in Las Vegas from February 25-27, 2025, in booth #N2663. An exceptional addition to its growing portfolio of premium surfaces, the new collection draws inspiration from the timeless beauty of natural metamorphic slate stone. It is crafted using Laminam’s cutting-edge technology to perfectly replicate the stone’s authentic texture and organic appearance.
Featuring a blend of earthy tones, subtle veining, and intricate details, each slab captures the natural imperfections of slate, offering a strikingly realistic surface that can be used for both interior and exterior projects. The collection is comprised of five striking colors — Alaska, Amazzonia, Ankara, Burgundy, and Vulcano — ranging from soft, light creams to rich, deep grays.
“We are excited to introduce the first porcelain Slate Collection as part of our ongoing commitment to pushing the boundaries of design and innovation. There’s nothing like it in the category,” said Philip Eeles, President and CEO of Laminam North America. “This collection embodies the beauty of nature while delivering the durability and sustainability that are at the core of Laminam’s values. We look forward to seeing how designers and architects bring these beautiful surfaces to life in their projects.”
In addition to the 5mm thickness for cladding applications, and 12mm for countertop applications, the Slate Collection also comes in Laminam’s new twO series, offering an ultra-slim 2mm thickness, almost as thin as wallpaper but as durable as porcelain with high resistance to scratches, stains, and heat. The 2mm slabs can be installed directly over existing tiles, making them an ideal solution for renovation projects. With exceptional versatility, the 2mm format is perfect for vertical applications such as curved structures, walls, furniture cladding, and cabinetry fronts.
Laminam’s twO series is not only lightweight but also highly sustainable. Composed of up to 60% recycled and new natural minerals, the 2mm format reduces the consumption of raw materials compared to traditional slabs. This results in a significant reduction in CO2 emissions per square foot during transportation. True to Laminam’s commitment to sustainability, the twO series is produced using eco-friendly processes, responsibly sourced materials, and a focus on minimizing environmental impact at every stage of production.
Laminam’s Slate Collection redefines the aesthetic potential of modern interiors and exteriors, offering architects, designers, and homeowners a sustainable, innovative solution with a timeless appeal. The collection will be featured in Laminam’s booth #N2663, offering attendees a first-hand look at the new surfaces that are poised to set new standards in architectural design.
