BALTIC

Product catalog summary

Overview: The document is a technical sheet for the Baltic series by Ceramica Rondine, which replicates the English Burlington stone. It highlights the versatility and aesthetic appeal of the stoneware collection, available in various colors and sizes.

Specifications: The Baltic series includes rectified sizes of 60x120, 100x100, 60x60, and 30x60 cm, available in colors such as Dark Grey, Grey, Light Grey, White, Beige, and Taupe. The 60x120 size features a Grip finish for indoor and outdoor continuity.

Technical Properties: The stoneware has a water absorption rate of ≤ 0.5%, bending strength of R ≥ 35 N/mm², and is frost resistant. It has a Mohs hardness of ≥ 5 and a stain resistance class of > 3. The slip resistance is rated with a Dcof of > 0.42, indicating low slipping risk.

Applications: Suitable for both residential and commercial environments, the collection can be combined with materials like wood, metal, and concrete.

Pricing and Packaging: Prices vary based on size and quantity, with specific rates for orders below and above one pallet. Additional packing charges apply.

Technical Specifications and Tolerances: The document outlines permissible deviations in tile dimensions, thickness, straightness, squareness, planarity, and curvature. These deviations are expressed in percentages or millimeters relative to the work size (W). Variations from these values are not grounds for complaints.

Laying and Cleaning Recommendations: The document references the UNI EN 14411 standard for high-quality ceramic tiles. Before laying tiles, the tiler should verify the shade, size, and material choice. Tiles should be taken from multiple boxes to ensure a consistent color mix. The surface must be stable, dry, and at an appropriate temperature. Suitable adhesives should be used, and the application should prevent gaps between the tile and the surface. Special care is needed for products with smooth surfaces to avoid marking them. Colored fillers should be tested before use, especially on smooth surfaces due to microporosity. Excess grout should be removed immediately, and thorough cleaning with buffered acids should follow a few days after laying. Proper rinsing is crucial to avoid residue marks. Rondine recommends using FILA Deterdek for cleaning, and epoxy mortar for waterproof grouting, following manufacturer instructions closely.

Standard Maintenance: For smooth surfaces, daily cleaning with Fila Cleaner is recommended, along with regular anti-stain treatments to protect against damage from various substances.

Introduction: The document outlines the standards and procedures for the installation and maintenance of ceramic tiles produced by Rondine S.p.A., in accordance with the UNI EN 14411 standard. This standard defines the terms, classification, characteristics, and markings for first-choice ceramic tiles.

Specifications and Standards: Rondine S.p.A. conducts all tests required by the UNI EN 14411 standard using accredited laboratories. Internal procedures are also implemented to ensure product quality.

Installation Procedures: Before installation, the installer must check the shade, size, and material choice. During installation, tiles should be taken from multiple boxes to achieve an ideal color mix. The installer must ensure the substrate is stable, dry, and not excessively hot or frozen. Appropriate adhesives should be used, and the manufacturer's instructions followed. For polished, satin, or honed surfaces, marking with pencils or indelible markers should be avoided. Joint widths vary based on tile format and installation angle. A minimum joint of 3 mm is recommended for non-rectified products and 2 mm for rectified products. In large spaces, expansion joints should be regularly placed, while in smaller spaces, a slight gap between the tiled surface and walls is sufficient.

Grouting and Post-Installation Cleaning: Colored mortars or grouts should be tested before use. For polished surfaces, contrasting colored grouts are not recommended due to microporosity. Excess grout should be removed immediately with a sponge and water. A thorough cleaning with buffered acids is recommended a few days after installation to remove residues. Rondine recommends using Deterdek by FILA for cleaning, following the dilution instructions. For waterproof grouting, epoxy mortar can be used, but it requires skilled application to avoid aesthetic damage.

Maintenance: For polished surfaces, daily cleaning with a neutral detergent like Fila Cleaner is recommended, along with regular stain-resistant treatments. FILA products are recommended for ongoing maintenance.

Recommendations for Special Products: Special trims and decors are available only in full boxes. For tiles larger than 60 cm, the use of Raimondi levelling spacers is recommended to ensure a flat surface and reduce installation time. A demonstration video is available on the Ceramica Rondine YouTube channel.

Specifications: The document outlines various types of tiles offered by Ceramica Rondine, suitable for different applications such as flooring, wall coverings, residential areas, low and heavy traffic public areas, and outdoor applications. Each type of tile is described with its specific use case.

Tile Categories: - Floor Tiles: Specifically designed for flooring applications. - Wall Covering Tiles: Suitable for interior wall coverings. - Residential Tiles: Intended for use in dwelling houses. - Low Traffic Public Area Tiles: Suitable for areas with light foot traffic. - Outdoor Tiles: Especially suitable for outdoor applications. - Heavy Traffic Public Area Tiles: Designed for areas with heavy foot traffic.
