Product catalog summary

Overview: This document serves as a technical guide for Casalgrande Padana's BETON series of fine porcelain stoneware tiles, covering specifications, colors, sizes, technical features, installation, and maintenance procedures.

Specifications: The BETON series is classified under ISO 13006 Group B1a as fully vitrified porcelain tiles. They feature very low water absorption (<0.1%), high flexural strength (>45N/mm²), and excellent resistance to frost, chemicals (excluding hydrofluoric acid), wear, and stains. Available in various sizes and thicknesses, the tiles have rectified edges for uniformity.

Colors and Designs: The series offers a range of colors including Pearl, Dark, Mud, Sand, and Ivory. Decorative inserts and mosaics in these colors provide design flexibility.

Sizes and Thicknesses: Tiles come in multiple formats, such as 75.5x75.5 cm and 75.5x151 cm, with a thickness of 9-10 mm. Special trims and accessories like bullnose and step treads are also available.

Technical Features: Designed to withstand various environmental conditions, the tiles guarantee frost resistance and no color change under sunlight. They have a slip resistance rating of R10 for natural surfaces.

Installation Guidelines: Proper installation requires attention to the substrate, binding layer, and expansion joints. Both traditional cement mortar and adhesive methods are suitable. It is important to ensure the batch of tiles is adequate in quantity and calibration before installation. Protective measures should be taken post-installation to prevent damage.

Maintenance and Cleaning: Initial cleaning should remove all cement or grout residues using recommended detergents. Regular cleaning involves water and standard ceramic surface cleaners. The tiles do not require wax or silicone products, which could alter their natural properties.

Additional Applications: The tiles are suitable for external wall cladding and raised floors due to their high mechanical resistance. The technical department offers support for these applications.

Cleaning and Maintenance of Floors and Facings: Casalgrande Padana surfaces, whether natural, lapped, lucida, or polished, are known for their beauty, strength, and longevity. They require low maintenance, primarily involving cleaning as outlined below.

Installation and Maintenance: First Clean: This is typically done once before using the floor or facing and is mandatory after installation. The goal is to remove any concrete or plaster left on the joints. The process involves sweeping, wetting the surface to protect joints, applying a recommended detergent, scrubbing stubborn dirt, and rinsing thoroughly. Specific detergents are recommended based on the type of grout used.

Routine Cleaning: Regular cleaning involves washing with water mixed with a common ceramic detergent. Protective waxes or silicone products should not be used as they can alter the surface's natural features. For stubborn stains, a more concentrated detergent may be necessary.

Installation Guidelines: The quality of the flooring depends not only on the tiles but also on the installation process, including the substrate, binding layer, and expansion joints. The architect should determine the appropriate tile type and installation method based on the location and use. Traditional cement mortar or adhesives can be used for installation. It is crucial to ensure the tiles match in quantity, color, and size before starting. After installation, avoid walking on the floor for 2-3 days, and protect it until construction is complete.

Exterior Facings and Technical Floors: Casalgrande Padana offers technical support for exterior facings and technical floors, such as Granitogres, Pietre Native, and Granitoker, known for their mechanical resistance and suitability for technical flooring.

Maintenance and Cleaning of Floor and Wall Coverings: Casalgrande Padana coverings are synonymous with beauty, durability, and require no special maintenance, just adherence to cleaning guidelines. The first cleaning is essential to remove cement or adhesive residues. Routine cleaning involves using water and suitable ceramic surface detergents. The surfaces are resistant to chemicals except for hydrofluoric acid, which should never be used.

POSA IN OPERA La riuscita di un pavimento e dovuta non solo alla qualita delle piastrelle, ma a tutto un insieme di elementi (sottofondo, strato legante, giunti di dilatazione, ecc.) che costituiscono un vero e proprio sistema. Ecco perche le operazioni di posa sono da considerarsi importanti tanto quanto la scelta delle piastrelle. E comunque compito del progettista stabilire, in funzione della struttura e della destinazione d’uso del piano di calpestio, il corretto modo di applicazione delle piastrelle e il tipo di piastrella da utilizzare. Le piastrelle Casalgrande Padana non si differenziano,...

PRIMA PULIZIA Si esegue normalmente una sola volta prima dell’utilizzo del pavimento/rivestimento e deve essere obbligatoriamente eseguita dopo la posa in opera e prima dell’uso del pavimento/rivestimento. Ha lo scopo di eliminare ogni traccia di cemento o stucco conseguente alla chiusura dei giunti. Procedere nel modo seguente: - Spazzare il pavimento/rivestimento raccogliendo lo sporco grossolano. - Inumidire con acqua la superficie affinche le fughe vengano impregnate e pertanto protette dall’azione corrosiva del detergente sotto indicato; evitare che il detergente acido venga a contatto con...

INSTALLATION The successful installation of floors depends not only on the quality of tiles but on a combination of factors (bedding, binding layer, expansion joints, etc.] that constitute a real system. That is why installation operations are to be considered as important as the choice of tiles. However, based on the structure and purpose of the flooring surface, the designer is still responsible for defining the correct procedure to lay the tiles and selecting the ones to be employed. When it comes to installation operations, Casalgrande Padana tiles do not differ from any other type of ceramic:...

FIRST CLEAN Usually done just once before using the floor/facing and mandatorily after the installation of the floor/ facing. The aim is to remove any concrete or plaster that may have been left on the joints. Proceed as follows: - Sweep the floor/facing to remove the coarser dirt. - Wet the surface with water until the joints are soaked so they are protected from the corrosive effect of the detergent indicated below; avoid any contact between the acid detergent and any steel, aluminium or natural marble surface near the floor/facing. - Use the detergent in the recommended concentration (mixed...

POSE Un bon sol dépend non seulement de la qualité des carreaux, mais aussi de toute une série d’éléments qui constituent un seul tout (couche de fond, couche d’un agent liant, joints de dilatation, etc.). C’est pourquoi les opérations de pose sont tout aussi importantes que le choix du carrelage. Il appartient à l’architecte d’établir le type de carrelage à utiliser en fonction du lieu et de l’utilisation du sol ainsi que la meilleure méthode de pose des carreaux. En ce qui concerne les opérations de pose, les séries Casalgrande Padana ne sont pas différentes des autres carreaux céramiques et...
