VALSERTAL STONE

Product catalog summary

Introduction
Ceramica Rondine has launched a new line of porcelain stoneware inspired by the ancient quartzite of the Swiss Alps, known as Pietra di Vals. The collection is available in three sizes and three natural colors, emphasizing the timeless beauty of quartzite.

Product Specifications
The Valsertal Stone collection features full-body porcelain stoneware with a thickness of 9.5 mm for most sizes and 20 mm for the 60x100 size. The tiles come in various patterns and formats, including mosaics and triangles, to accommodate different design needs.

Technical Sheet
The tiles comply with UNI EN 14411 standards, ensuring high quality. They have a DCOF of ≥ 0.42, suitable for both dry and wet conditions, and are available in different packaging options with specific pallet quantity recommendations.

Laying Recommendations
Before installation, verify the shade, size, and material choice. Use appropriate adhesives and ensure the surface is stable and dry. A minimum joint of 3 mm is recommended for non-rectified products, while rectified products require a 2 mm joint. Expansion joints should be used in large rooms.

Grouting and Cleaning
Test fillers or mortar before use. Avoid contrast-colored fillers on smooth surfaces. Remove excess grout immediately and clean thoroughly with buffered acids. FILA Deterdek is recommended for effective and safe cleaning.

Maintenance
For daily cleaning, use a neutral detergent like Fila Cleaner. Periodic treatments with stain-resistant products are advised to protect against damage from markers or rust.

Specifications and Standards
The document references the UNI EN 14411 standard, which defines the terms, classification, characteristics, and marking of first-choice ceramic tiles. Rondine S.p.A. ensures compliance through systematic testing in accredited laboratories.

Installation Procedures
Before installation, check the shade, size, and material choice, and ensure tiles are taken from multiple boxes for a consistent color mix. The substrate must be stable, dry, and at an appropriate temperature. Proper adhesives should be used according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Jointing and Cleaning
Test colored mortars before use. Avoid contrasting colored mortars on polished surfaces due to microporosity. Remove excess mortar immediately and clean thoroughly with buffered acids a few days after installation.

Recommendations
For tiles larger than 60 cm, use Raimondi levelling spacers to ensure a flat surface and reduce installation time. The document advises on the appropriate joint width for rectified and non-rectified products.

Conclusion
Proper installation and maintenance are crucial to preserving the aesthetic and functional qualities of ceramic tiles. Following Rondine S.p.A.'s guidelines will help prevent common issues and ensure long-lasting results.

Levelling Systems
The document discusses the use of Raimondi's Levelling System and AndalSystem for tile installation, which help in perfectly leveling the surface and reducing installation time. A demonstration video is available on Ceramica Rondine's YouTube channel.

Technical Properties
The document outlines various technical properties and standards for tiles, including frost resistance, stain resistance, and abrasion resistance. It specifies the required standards and permissible deviations for tile dimensions, thickness, straightness, squareness, planarity, and curvature.

Ceramic Material Benefits
Ceramic is highlighted as a safe, natural, and recyclable material. It is strong, durable, easy to clean, and resistant to chemicals. Ceramic is versatile, suitable for floors, walls, countertops, and tables, and is environmentally friendly, complying with European and American standards.

Tile Variations and Applications
The document describes different tile variations (V1 to V4) based on shade and graphic variation. It also specifies the suitability of tiles for various applications, including residential, low traffic public areas, heavy traffic public areas, and outdoor use.
