Craft safer, healthier and more durable living spaces with Lamitak’s thoughtfully engineered laminates, designed with sustainability and low toxicity in mind

Today’s discerning homeowners and designers are elevating their focus beyond mere beauty, prioritising health, wellness and sustainability in their living spaces. Laminates purveyor Lamitak is redefining these standards by engineering low-toxicity, sustainable laminates that effortlessly marry health-conscious and environmentally friendly functionality with style.

Exposure to formaldehyde is a growing concern for many homeowners, often stemming from carpentry, adhesives and substrates that emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs) post-renovation. These emissions can impact indoor air quality and, by extension, the health of those living in the space.

For families with young children, the elderly and pets, minimising exposure to harmful toxins such as formaldehyde is essential. Learning more about indoor air quality, VOCs and safe material options is the first step towards a healthier and safer home, allowing you to select materials that are certified to be environmentally friendly and low in toxins.

Lamitak’s products adhere to strict standards, significantly reducing these emissions and thus creating safer indoor spaces. The brand’s laminates and Newedge series are Greenguard Gold-certified for meeting the highest environmental standards, making them safe for sensitive environments such as schools, healthcare facilities and, of course, your home.

These surfaces also adhere to the guidelines under the Singapore Green Labelling Scheme and have earned the Singapore Green Building Product 4-ticks leader certificate from the Singapore Green Building Council, reflecting a commitment to sustainable practices and eco-conscious manufacturing.

By proactively selecting certified, low-emission laminates, homeowners can create spaces that promote well-being, helping to reduce the risks associated with indoor pollutants.

While all homeowners are encouraged to think beyond aesthetics when designing their interiors, not every household will have the same needs. For instance, a growing family may prioritise anti-bacterial surfaces, while pet owners might seek scratch-resistant materials.

Lamitak’s innovative Protak range is designed with these needs in mind, featuring six crucial qualities: it’s anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-glare, anti-fingerprint, and scuff and stain-resistant, thus ideal for high-traffic areas.

In one recent project, Lamitak’s Corrado Roma Noce and Ibiza Nogal laminates were used to transform the library of a private school in Singapore. Here, the goal was not only to create a visually inspiring reading space but also to ensure a safe environment for young children.

By selecting materials with inherent anti-microbial properties, the designers at ATDR&Co crafted a low-maintenance, child-friendly environment that naturally inhibits the growth of harmful microbes.

For a recent residential project by D-Comma, a couple with pets opted for Lamitak’s Cavalli Viola Noce laminates to create a spacious, pet-friendly living area. These laminates provided peace of mind, fulfilling all of the couple’s requirements by letting them design a cosy space that met their functional and aesthetic needs.
