Slimtech is the solution that completes Lea Ceramiche’s product range by offering slabs of laminated porcelain in record sizes (100x300 and 120x260 cm) due to extraordinary lightness resulting from a thickness of only 3,5mm, 5,5mm and 6mm.

It’s the result of a laminating and porcelain compacting technology that has revolutionised the traditional productive process and as a result a completely new, resistive, light, flexible, pliable and versatile product is obtained. Slimtech fully satisfies the most up-to-date needs for modern planning for both internal and for expansive external areas of modern buildings.

THINk ZERO. CO2-neutral ceramic slabs. Sustainable from the start.

Slimtech ultra-thin slabs are born sustainable right from the start: from the ingredients used to produce them - only water, earth and fire - to the lower water and energy requirements, to the less pollution produced in transport. All this has made them among the most sustainable materials available to designers!

But we did not settle for that. We have made them CARBON NEUTRAL.

After having reduced the emissions generated by production as much as possible, we decided to calculate all the residual emissions from the entire life cycle of the sheets and offset them through carbon credits related to projects with a real impact on the environment. To help make the world better, more liveable and more sustainable. So we created the ultra-thin 100% CO2 offset slabs: our most sustainable ceramic surface.

Because we cannot wait any longer to design a different future
