Product catalog summary

Introduction
The document outlines the adherence to the UNI EN 14411 standard by Rondine S.p.A., which ensures high-quality ceramic tiles through continuous testing and quality control.

Laying Procedures
Before laying tiles, verify shade, size, and material. Use tiles from multiple boxes for color consistency. Ensure the surface is stable, dry, and at an appropriate temperature. Use suitable adhesives and apply them professionally to avoid gaps. For smooth surfaces, avoid marking with pencils or permanent markers. Use diamond cutters for precise cuts, especially with porcelain stoneware. Recommended joint sizes are 3 mm for non-rectified and 2 mm for rectified products. In large rooms, use expansion joints regularly; in small rooms, leave a slight gap between tiles and walls.

Grouting and Cleaning
Test colored fillers before use. Avoid contrast-colored fillers on smooth surfaces due to microporosity. Remove excess grout immediately with water and a sponge. Clean thoroughly with buffered acids a few days after laying to remove residues. Use liquid extractors to remove dirty water.

Maintenance
For polished surfaces, use neutral detergents like Fila Cleaner for daily cleaning and periodic stain-resistant treatments. Avoid products containing hydrofluoric acid as they damage tile surfaces. Proper post-laying cleaning is crucial to avoid residue-related issues.

Product Specifications
Various tile sizes and thicknesses are available, with specific packing and weight details provided. The document includes detailed product codes and pricing information for different tile formats and finishes.

Specifications and Standards
The document references the UNI EN 14411 standard, which defines terms, standards, and criteria for first-choice ceramic tiles. Rondine S.p.A. conducts all tests required by this standard using accredited laboratories and implements internal quality control procedures.

Installation Procedures
Before installation, the installer must check the shade, size, and material choice, ensuring an ideal color mix by taking tiles from multiple boxes. The installer should use appropriate adhesives and follow manufacturer instructions, ensuring the substrate is stable, dry, and not excessively hot or cold. For polished, satin, or honed products, avoid marking the surface with pencils or permanent markers. Use diamond discs and specific equipment for cutting and profiling, especially for porcelain stoneware.

Jointing and Post-Installation Cleaning
Colored mortars or jointing products should be tested before use. For polished surfaces, avoid contrasting colored mortars due to microporosity. After jointing, excess mortar 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. Use a liquid vacuum to remove dirty water.

Recommendations for Cleaning and Maintenance
For daily cleaning of smooth surfaces, use Fila Cleaner, adhering to dilution recommendations. Regular anti-stain treatments are advised to protect tiles from damage. Avoid detergents containing hydrofluoric acid as they can permanently damage tile surfaces. Proper post-installation washing is crucial to remove residues and prevent complaints.

Special Applications and Products
For waterproof grouting, epoxy mortar can be used, following manufacturer instructions. Consult expert tilers for epoxy applications to avoid compromising tile appearance. Rondine recommends FILA Deterdek for cleaning, which is an acid descaling agent without harmful fumes.

Additional Recommendations
For rectangular tiles, stagger them by no more than 6-10 cm. Suggested joint widths are 3 mm for non-rectified products and 2 mm for rectified products. For large spaces, regular expansion joints are necessary, while small spaces require a slight gap between tiles and walls, covered by skirting boards.

Special Production and Ordering
Special trims and decors require a minimum order quantity and are produced in 3-4 weeks. Leveling spacers are recommended for tiles larger than 60 cm to ensure a flat surface and reduce installation time.

Tile Installation Recommendations
Ceramica Rondine recommends using Raimondi levelling spacers, such as the Levelling System and AndalSystem, for tiles with sides over 60 cm. These spacers help ensure a flat surface, maintain tile position, and reduce installation time. A demonstration video is available on the Ceramica Rondine YouTube channel.

Technical Specifications
The document outlines various technical properties and standards for tiles, including frost resistance, stain resistance, and abrasion resistance. Key standards mentioned include UNI EN ISO 10545-12 for frost resistance and UNI EN ISO 10545-14 for stain resistance, with specific class requirements for each property.

Dimensional Tolerances
The permissible deviations for tile dimensions, thickness, straightness, squareness, and planarity are specified. These tolerances are expressed in percentages or millimeters relative to the work size.

Usage Recommendations
Tiles are categorized based on their suitability for different environments, such as residential areas, low or heavy traffic public areas, and outdoor applications. The variation index (V1 to V4) indicates the degree of shade and graphic variation in the tiles.

Company Information
ITALCER S.p.A. is the company responsible for the production and distribution of these tiles, with contact information provided for further inquiries.
