Wednesday, April 1, 2009
Definition: Lamination, lam, lammed edges. When you hear a designer here in at our granite showroom talk about ‘lammed edges,’ they are not referring to sheep of any sort. Instead, this is fabrication slang for lamination, the process of placing two materials immediately against each other in a sheet. For granite, this refers to the process of [...]
