Product catalog summary

Overview

This document is the 2014 collection catalog from Bisazza, an Italian company specializing in mosaic tiles and decorative surfaces. It serves as a comprehensive technical and design reference for architects, designers, and installers, detailing product specifications, color options, installation guidelines, and artistic decoration choices.

1. Product Collections and Variations

The catalog presents multiple mosaic tile collections characterized by different sizes, finishes, and color blends. Key collections include Colors 20, Colors 10, VetriColor 20, Canvas, Flow, Opera 15, Opera 25, Smalto 10, and Opus Romano. Tile sizes range from 10x10 mm to 20x20 mm, with finishes available in glossy or matte. Artistic decorations and borders (fregi) are detailed in collections such as Decori 5x5, Decori 10, Decori 20, and Opus Romano decorations. Specialty tiles include pool tiles and brick formats (2x5), each with specific technical and aesthetic features.

2. Technical Specifications

Each tile type is specified with precise dimensions and weight per square meter or square foot to aid in planning and installation. Mounting methods are clearly indicated: tiles are either back mounted on mesh or face mounted on paper backing, with the latter facilitating installation. The catalog emphasizes the use of "Fillgel plus," Bisazza's proprietary colored grout, matched to each tile color code to ensure both aesthetic harmony and technical compatibility.

3. Installation and Usage Guidelines

An epoxy installation kit is recommended for optimal adhesion and durability. The document includes important warnings about color reproduction accuracy, noting that photographic samples are indicative and actual tile colors may vary slightly. Special care is advised for "Oro" gold tesserae, which are handcrafted with natural irregularities requiring expert handling during installation.

4. Product Formats and Dimensions

5. Product Codes and Grout Matching

Products are identified by codes such as "Fillgel plus" followed by numeric identifiers (e.g., 8804, 7704, 1104). Each tile color and type is paired with a specific grout color code (GM or VTC values ranging approximately from 10.01 to 10.99) to maintain design integrity and ensure color consistency.
