LAMINAM Ankara is a large-format ceramic surface in a soft, neutral grey with a calm slate character. At ROSSITTIS we carry it as a slab wherever a matter-of-fact, versatile surface for interior fit-out and furniture design is wanted.
LAMINAM Ankara is built for calm and balance. The colour lies in a soft, neutral grey that tips neither cold nor brown. To this comes a restrained slate look that gives the surface materiality without making it decorative. That is precisely why Ankara works very well in minimalist kitchens, wall surfaces, furniture and working areas. Compared with grey concrete looks the surface appears somewhat softer; compared with heavily figured stone images, considerably more controlled.
Like all Laminam surfaces in this line, Ankara is not a natural stone but a porcelain large-format surface. Its strength lies in predictability, large formats and robust technical use in interior architecture and architecture. For planners this is particularly interesting where a calm grey surface with little variation is wanted that is at the same time technically hard-wearing and easy to care for.
Ankara is positioned within the Slate collection as a durable decorative surface for architecture and interiors. Its restrained colour makes it a passe-partout between timber, black, brass or light white tones. In modern rooms in particular, where material quietness matters more than effect, this works very well. For worktops, furniture fronts, wall claddings and niches, Ankara is therefore a very sensible choice.
The existing surface is read in stock as riven and corresponds to the slate-like character of the product. It brings a light texture into the grey and prevents sterile smoothness. At ROSSITTIS, LAMINAM Ankara is currently held as a slab and is therefore suited to made-to-measure interior applications in furniture and surface construction.
The honest assessment: Ankara is not an effect décor and not a marble substitute with show character. Its strength lies in restraint, versatility and technical predictability. Anyone looking for exactly a calm grey ceramic surface is in the right place here.
LAMINAM® Ankara is available in a range of finishes. The finish affects appearance, feel and the care it needs.
A spacco spaltrau
Inspiriert von der natürlich gespaltenen Oberfläche von Schiefer — die Keramikoberfläche bleibt durch das Brennen geschlossen, weist aber eine charaktervolle Rauigkeit auf. Wirkt durch die spalt-imitierende Strukturierung nahezu natürlich. Pflegeleicht, fleckenresistent — eine charaktervolle Wahl für gestaltete Wand- und Bodenflächen.
Care & fabrication
As a ceramic surface, LAMINAM Ankara is easy to care for, but should be cleaned and cared for regularly so that the calm grey surface stays clean. For everyday use, water, mild cleaners and soft cloths are sufficient.
pH-neutral household or ceramic cleaners, water and microfibre cloths are suitable for cleaning and care. On kitchen and furniture surfaces, grease, limescale and colourants should nevertheless be removed promptly.
Avoid unnecessarily aggressive specialist cleaners and strongly abrasive pads. Even a sintered surface is easier to clean and care for if it is treated gently.
On furniture fronts, walls and worktops, clean and care for the surface regularly and do not let films of dirt build up. In this way the neutral grey stays calm and even over the long term.
