Design Considerations
Applications Ideal for:
• Walls • Floors • Splashbacks • Benchtops (12mm only) • Countertops (12mm only) • Indoor and Outdoor furniture • Fireplace surrounds
Installation on Wall
Laminam® 3+ and Laminam® 5+ can be installed as both indoor and outdoor tilings. Laminam® 3+ is always recommended for areas containing “L”-shaped cuts or frequent drilling. Irrespective of the type of substrate, check the flatness of the substrate using a 2m rod, rested on the screed in all directions. The permitted tolerance is 3mm.
It is always advisable to use the Easy Frame when installing the Laminam® 3+ 1000x3000mm size. When selecting a size for indoor applications take into account the possibility of movement that the rooms to be covered pose. In the case of outdoor coverings, it is recommended to use the size 1000x3000mm only for limited heights and only when the conditions of the site allow the installer to obtain the best results.

Specification Considerations
Floor Application
Laminam® 3+ and Laminam®5 are designed to be installed on any newly-built or pre-existing building substrate, provided that this substrate possesses suitable mechanical strength and finishing for the installation.
Flatness
For all types of substrate flatness must be checked with a 2m-long rod, rested on the screed in all directions. The permitted tolerance is 3mm.
If the substrate is not flat along the majority of the surface to be installed, level the entire area using suitable products.
If the base is not flat only in certain areas, correct this by removing or scraping away excess parts and filling any holes using the same adhesive as the subsequent installation.
Before making any adjustments to the substrate, always carry out all procedures required to ensure that the materials used adhere to the existing substrate.
