Laminam: products, uses, and EPD coverage

Who Laminam is, in one look

Laminam S.p.A. is a pure‑play manufacturer of large‑format porcelain slabs. The portfolio centers on thin to thick slabs in multiple sizes and finishes for walls and floors, exterior façades, and horizontal surfaces like kitchens and casework. Their site maintains a sustainability section and annual reports worth a skim for context (Sustainability).

The product map: formats, finishes, applications

Think of Laminam as a matrix. Rows are thickness families from ultra‑thin to 20 mm. Columns are collections like I Naturali, In‑Side, Oxide, and more. Add two size platforms and several surface finishes and you are looking at hundreds of individual SKUs when colorways and formats are counted. Applications span interior walls and floors, ventilated façades, worktops, furniture cladding, and specialty elements.

EPD coverage today

Publicly available program listings show product‑specific EPDs for Laminam’s porcelain slabs that group models by thickness. One EPD in EPD Italy covers ceramic slabs produced in Fiorano Modenese and Borgo Val di Taro and is valid through June 18, 2026 (EPD Italy, 2021) (EPD Italy, 2021). We also see Laminam slabs recorded in national databases used by specifiers in Europe, which signals continued coverage across common thickness families. For teams working in France, remember FDES records in INIES carry five‑year validity and are the format used in RE2020 LCAs (INIES, 2025) (INIES, 2025).

What this means in practice. For mainstream interior and façade uses, Laminam’s core slab families are generally covered by current EPDs from reputable operators. That reduces the risk of being swapped out when transparency is a gate to selection.

Possible gaps worth closing fast

Laminam introduced a 2 mm series in 2024 for ultra‑light cladding, marketed as twO by Laminam. As of December 19, 2025, we did not find a dedicated EPD clearly scoped to that 2 mm line in major public operator libraries. If this thickness becomes a bestseller for furniture OEMs or retrofit façades, a product‑specific EPD would remove doubt for LCA modelers and avoid conservative defaulting that can hurt specfication.

Two more checks we’d run. First, confirm whether all slab thickness families map one‑to‑one to active EPD documents across plants. Second, verify that façade system configurations commonly sold with partners are represented at the system level when needed, since substructure and anchors are usually outside the slab maker’s scope.

Where they compete, and who they see across the table

On façades and interior tile, Laminam bumps into Italian porcelain heavyweights like Florim, Iris Ceramica Group, Marazzi, and Porcelanosa. In countertops and furniture, they often face sintered stone or ultracompact surfaces such as Cosentino’s Dekton and Neolith. Both publish product‑specific EPDs that are current in leading registries, so they are “spec‑ready” out of the box for teams scoring transparency credits (Dekton valid to December 8, 2026, EPD International, 2026) (EPD International, 2026) and (Neolith valid to February 3, 2027, EPD International, 2024) (EPD International, 2024).

Why that matters. LEED v5 was ratified on March 28, 2025, and materials transparency remains a well‑traveled path in the rating system’s credits. Having product‑specific, externally verified EPDs removes friction and keeps Laminam in contention when owners or GCs set disclosure bars for finish packages (USGBC, 2025) (USGBC, 2025).

Rough size of the catalog

Laminam lists dozens of named collections on its site and each collection spans multiple colors, finishes, and sizes. Net result is a catalog in the hundreds of SKUs. That breadth is a strength with designers who want consistent looks across rooms and elevations. It also raises the bar internally to keep EPD coverage tidy by thickness and manufacturing site.

What a manufacturer’s team should do next

Treat EPDs like a playbook, not a paperwork chore. Map every thickness family to an active EPD and check remaining shelf life so you are not renewing in a scramble. If 2 mm gains traction, prioritize an EPD scoped to that line. For France, convert or publish as FDES in INIES so your specific values are used in RE2020 modeling, not generic estimates that can add hidden penalties (INIES, 2025). Finally, make data collection painless across plants. The faster you gather utility, mass‑balance, and scrap streams, the faster a partner can turn around high‑quality LCAs that land in the right program.

Bottom line for specability

Laminam is focused and widely applicable. Their slabs cover many applications with a unified look and strong technical performance. EPD coverage is good for the core, and tightening it around newer thicknesses would close the last gaps that can nudge a project toward a competitor. Keep the EPDs current, publish where your customers actually model, and the work of winning specs gets lighter.
