Product catalog summary

Overview of Cruda Brick: The Cruda Brick series is part of the Brick Generation collection, blending traditional ceramic craftsmanship with modern design. It features a delicate structure with imperfect, undulating edges, offering an artisanal charm. The series includes seven plain-colored tiles in a 4.8x20 cm format, with neutral and natural shades reminiscent of earth and clay. A distinctive feature is the engraved golden mark that shines on the semi-matt finish of the bricks.

Color Variants: The Cruda Brick series offers various color options including Antracite, Grigio, Ice, Bianco, Beige, Tortora, and Sabbia, each with unique aesthetic appeal and potential applications in interior design.

Technical Specifications: Made of glazed porcelain stoneware with a thickness of 9.5 mm, the tiles comply with ISO 13006 standards, ensuring high quality and durability. They exhibit excellent resistance to water absorption, bending, thermal shock, and frost, making them suitable for various environments.

Installation and Maintenance Recommendations: Proper installation guidelines emphasize checking the tone, caliber, and material selection before laying the tiles. Appropriate adhesives should be used, and the substrate must be stable and dry. Maintenance recommendations include avoiding marking tiles with graphite pencils or permanent markers and using specific tools for cutting and shaping.

Appendix: The appendix includes a series summary and a technical sheet detailing product codes for each color variant and additional technical properties such as dimensional characteristics, surface quality, and resistance to chemicals and stains.

Foreword: The document outlines the UNI EN 14411 standard, defining terms, requirements, and marking criteria for first-choice ceramic tiles. Italcer S.p.A. SB conducts necessary tests using accredited laboratories and maintains internal quality control procedures.

Installation: Installers must verify shade, size, and material choice before installation. Mixing tiles from different boxes for color consistency and checking for defects is advised. Suitable adhesives must be used, and the substrate should be stable, dry, and properly cured. Special care is needed for polished, satin-finished, or lapped surfaces to avoid marking them. Joint size varies based on tile size and installation angle, with recommended minimums of 3 mm for non-ground products and 2 mm for ground products. Expansion joints are necessary in large rooms.

Grouting and Cleaning After Installation: Grouts or fillers with pigments should be tested beforehand. Contrasting colored grouts are not recommended for certain surfaces. Excess cement grout should be removed immediately with water and a sponge. A thorough cleaning with buffered acids should be done 3-10 days post-installation to remove residues. Recommended detergents include Keranet, Detrerdek, and others. Epoxy grout requires quick cleaning with alkaline detergents. Avoid products containing hydrofluoric acid as they damage tiles.

Routine Maintenance: Daily cleaning with a neutral detergent is advised, adhering to dilution instructions. For more information, several websites are recommended, including those of FILA, KERAKOLL, and MAPEI.

Tile Installation Guidelines: In large rooms, regular installation of expansion joints is necessary, while in smaller rooms, a small gap between tiles and exterior walls is sufficient, covered by the skirting board. When laying rectangular tiles, it is recommended not to stagger them by more than 6-10 cm. Suggested joint widths are a minimum of 3 mm for non-rectified products and 2 mm for rectified products.

Grouting and Cleaning: Use of pigmented mortars should be preceded by a preliminary test. For polished, satin, or honed porcelain stoneware surfaces, contrasting colored grouts should not be used due to microporosity. Excess mortar should be removed with a sponge and water before drying. A thorough cleaning with buffered acids should be done 3-10 days after installation to remove construction residues. Recommended cleaning products include Keranet (MAPEI), Detrerdek (FILA), and others. For epoxy grouts, cleaning should be done promptly with alkaline cleaners.

Maintenance: Daily cleaning with a neutral detergent is recommended, adhering to dilution percentages on the bottle. For more information on ceramic cleaning products, refer to websites like FILA INDUSTRIA CHIMICA and MAPEI.

Special Production and Purchase: Special trims and decors are available only in full boxes and require a minimum order quantity, with production taking 3-4 weeks.

Levelling Systems: For tiles larger than 60 cm, the use of Raimondi levelling spacers is recommended to ensure a flat surface, maintain tile position, and reduce laying time. A demonstration video is available on the Ceramica Rondine YouTube channel.

Tile Suitability: Tiles are categorized for specific uses such as floors, wall coverings, residential areas, low traffic public areas, outdoor applications, and heavy traffic public areas. The variation index indicates the degree of shade and graphic variation in tiles.
