Product catalog summary
Technical Information Overview
This document provides comprehensive technical details on ceramic and glass mosaics, focusing on production techniques, testing, and applications.
Single Press-Firing Technique
The single press-firing process is a method to produce ceramic products with unique characteristics. It involves combining atomized glazes and clays through dry pressing, followed by firing at temperatures over 1,200°C. This enhances the aesthetic qualities, durability, and resistance of the products, making them suitable for various applications, including indoor and outdoor flooring and wall tiling.
Bond Strength Testing
Bond strength tests evaluate the adherence of mosaics to standardized mortar under controlled conditions. Higher bond strength values indicate better performance. Various mosaics, including ceramic and vitreous glass, are tested, showing different levels of bond strength.
Comparison of Vitreous Glass and Ceramic Mosaics
The document compares vitreous glass mosaics with ceramic mosaics, noting differences in grip and adhesion. Vitreous glass mosaics have limited contact surfaces for gluing and may adhere with difficulty due to vinyl glue residue on the back of the tesserae.
Design and Planning Services
Appiani offers design and planning services for wellness centers and pools, emphasizing the importance of hygienic maintenance facilitated by the smooth texture of their ceramic mosaic tiles.
Technical Charts and Installation Guidelines
Technical charts provide detailed specifications for various mosaic products. Installation guidelines include instructions for environments with underfloor heating and personalized compositions.
Why Choose Appiani Products?
The document concludes with reasons to choose Appiani products, highlighting their unique production process, aesthetic appeal, and suitability for diverse applications.
Overview: The document outlines services provided by designers in the architectural environment, focusing on virtual creation and installation planning using formats like AUTOCAD's .dwg and .dxf. It also discusses the design and installation of wellness and pool centers, emphasizing the use of Appiani products for pool edges.
Specifications: The document specifies the use of Finnish and Skimmer type spillways for pool edges, highlighting the benefits of Appiani ceramic mosaics, such as smoothness, ease of maintenance, and resistance to detachment. It also details construction specifics, including the flatness and rounded edges of the tiles.
Procedures: Guidelines for selecting adhesives are provided, considering factors like material type, size, mounting, surface type, treatments, and environmental conditions. The importance of adhering to surface preparation rules to ensure proper adhesive application is emphasized.
Recommendations: Recommendations include using Appiani products for their aesthetic and functional benefits, ensuring proper adhesive selection based on detailed analysis, and following manufacturer guidelines for adhesive application.
Key Data: The document includes multilingual descriptions of Appiani products and their applications, emphasizing the importance of proper installation techniques to maintain the integrity and appearance of pool installations.
Specifications:
The document outlines specifications for ceramic tiles, focusing on their physical and chemical properties. It includes details on the coefficient of friction, water absorption, breaking strength, thermal shock resistance, crazing resistance, and frost resistance. The tiles are tested according to various standards such as DIN 51130, DIN 51097, ASTM C373, ASTM C648, ASTM C484, ASTM C424, and ASTM C1026.

Procedures:
The document describes the single press-firing process used to produce the tiles, which involves dry pressing and kiln firing to achieve low water absorption. Guidelines for installation in areas with underfloor heating are provided, emphasizing reduced thickness, good thermal conductivity, minimal adhesive use, and cement-based grouts.

Standards:
The tiles comply with international standards for slip resistance, chemical resistance, and stain resistance. Certificates are available upon request to verify compliance with these standards.

Recommendations:
The document recommends Appiani mosaics for both indoor and outdoor applications due to their adaptability to various architectural forms, modularity, and resistance to impacts, stains, and chemicals. The tiles are designed for easy maintenance and are available in a wide range of colors with non-slip surfaces.

Key Data from Tables:
- Coefficient of friction (dry and wet) exceeds the minimum requirements, ensuring slip resistance.
- Water absorption is between 0.5% and 3%, classifying the tiles in Group B I b according to EN 14411.
- Breaking strength is greater than 250 lbf, indicating durability.
- The tiles are frost-resistant and suitable for environments with temperature fluctuations.
