Visual Inspection and Quality Assurance: A visual inspection is necessary before use to check for imperfections. The company reserves the right to evaluate quality based on documented analysis.

Installation Guidelines: Successful installation depends on substrate and expansion joints. Both cement mortar and adhesive systems can be used. Ensure the substrate is stable, clean, and dry. Protect the surface during construction and avoid walking on newly installed floors for 2-3 days.

Cleaning and Maintenance: Initial cleaning should remove cement or grout residues using acid-based detergents. Regular cleaning involves water and suitable detergents, avoiding waxes or silicones. For persistent stains, use concentrated detergents. Tiles resist chemicals except hydrofluoric acid.

Product Dimensions and Packaging: Detailed tables provide tile dimensions, thickness, and packaging information for various sizes, specifying the number of tiles per package, total area covered, and weight.

First Cleaning Procedure: Initial cleaning removes cement or plaster residues post-installation. Steps include sweeping, dampening, applying detergent, scrubbing, and rinsing. For surfaces used before first cleaning, use alkaline detergents before acid cleaning.

Routine Cleaning: Daily maintenance involves washing with water and neutral detergents. Avoid waxy substances. For stubborn stains, use concentrated cleaners. Porcelain stoneware resists chemicals except hydrofluoric acid.

Installation Guidelines: Successful flooring depends on tile quality and installation elements like substrate and expansion joints. Use traditional cement mortar or adhesives. Ensure substrate stability, cleanliness, and dryness. Follow guidelines for substrate preparation, adhesive mixing, and joint placement. Protect the floor during installation.

Recommended Detergents: For cement plaster joints, use acid detergents like Deterprimo Plus or Deterdek. For epoxy plaster joints, use alkaline detergents like Fuga-Soap Eco or Kerapoxy Cleaner.

Cleaning Recommendations: For removing residues from surface treatment abrasives, specific cleaning agents are recommended. For cement grout residues, use acid-based cleaners. For epoxy grout residues, use alkaline cleaners. Follow manufacturer's instructions.

Regular Cleaning: Daily cleaning can be done with water and standard ceramic surface cleaners. Avoid waxes or silicone-based products. For stubborn stains, use concentrated cleaners. Porcelain stoneware resists chemicals except hydrofluoric acid.

Public Area Cleaning: Clean after closing hours to ensure the floor is dry upon reopening. If not possible, restrict access until dry. For large spaces, use cleaning machines.
