VINTAGE

Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document introduces the 'Vintage' series by LA FORESTA DI GRES, which draws inspiration from traditional herringbone parquet floors. It combines the aesthetic appeal of wood with the durability of glazed porcelain stoneware, emphasizing eco-sustainable production.
Specifications
The Vintage series offers three shades: Cendre, Brune, and Doré, each featuring realistic wood veining and chromatic nuances. The tiles are available in sizes 7.5x40.7 cm and 7.5x45 cm, designed to mimic aged wood.
Installation Procedures
The document details installation techniques such as the classic herringbone and chevron patterns, highlighting the Hungarian Point method. This involves laying strips perpendicularly with a 60° head joint cut, creating a fishbone-like pattern. Frames and borders enhance visual appeal and can make small or medium-sized floors appear larger.
Design Recommendations
For a modern and joyful living space, pastel tones for walls and furniture are suggested to complement the warm shades of Vintage Doré. The versatility of wood-effect porcelain stoneware is emphasized for its ability to blend with modern interiors.
Tools and Resources
Ceramica Rondine provides a digital calculator to assist in determining the necessary quantities of materials for installation, accessible via their website.
Conclusion
The Vintage series by LA FORESTA DI GRES offers a modern reinterpretation of classic parquet, combining elegance with practicality and sustainability. It caters to the needs of even the most demanding clients with its high-quality and versatile design options.
Introduction to Chevron Pattern
The Chevron pattern, also known as the Hungarian point or French Herringbone, gained worldwide popularity from the floors of the Palace of Versailles. It is characterized by its elegant and sophisticated design, making it a popular choice for both residential and commercial spaces.
Installation Tools and Resources
Ceramica Rondine offers a digital calculator accessible from any device to help installers determine the necessary material quantities for installation. A QR code is provided for a step-by-step video guide on Chevron installation, and a printed instruction booklet is included in the packaging.
Design and Aesthetic Options
The alternating use of Vintage Brune and Doré tiles can enhance the elegance and personality of an entrance hall. The alternating row installation method allows for striking color contrasts, adding a unique touch to traditional herringbone patterns.
Commercial Applications
For commercial spaces, the traditional Chevron installation combined with the warm grey melange shades of Vintage Cendre creates an environment rich in personality and charm. This method is ideal for spaces that aim to be both attractive and welcoming.
Material Characteristics
Vintage stoneware is noted for its natural wood-like appearance, capturing the realistic veining and imperfections of traditional parquet wood. It combines this aesthetic with the durability of porcelain stoneware, making it suitable for various home environments.
Thermal Conductivity and Economic Benefits
Traditional wood parquet floors have low thermal conductivity, making them poor heat conductors. In contrast, Ceramica Rondine's stoneware floors have high thermal conductivity (1 to 1.3 Watt/m°K), making them ideal for underfloor heating systems, resulting in economic savings.
Specifications
Traditional wooden parquet floors have a low thermal conductivity coefficient, typically below 0.17 W/m*K. Ceramica Rondine's porcelain stoneware floors have high thermal conductivity, ranging from 1 to 1.3 W/m*K, suitable for underfloor heating systems.
Procedures
When laying tiles, check the shade, size, and material choice before installation. Use suitable adhesives and ensure the surface is stable and dry. For cutting and shaping, use appropriate diamond cutters. A minimum joint of 3 mm is recommended for non-rectified products and 2 mm for rectified products.
Standards
The document references the UNI EN 14411 standard, which defines the terms, requirements, and marking criteria for high-quality ceramic tiles. Rondine S.p.A. conducts regular tests in accredited laboratories to ensure compliance.
Recommendations
For grouting and cleaning, use fillers or mortar only after testing. Avoid contrast-colored fillers on smooth surfaces due to microporosity. After grouting, remove excess grout immediately and clean thoroughly with buffered acids. Use FILA Deterdek for cleaning.
Key Data from Tables
The document provides dimensions and specifications for various tile formats, including recommended joint sizes and packaging details. It advises on laying techniques to avoid excessive staggering of tiles.
Technical Specifications
The document outlines specifications for tiles used in various applications, including floor tiles, wall coverings, residential areas, and low-traffic public spaces. It provides details on tile dimensions and recommended usage.
Standards and Testing
The document references the UNI EN 14411 standard, which defines terms, classifications, characteristics, and markings for first-choice ceramic tiles. Rondine S.p.A. conducts systematic testing of its tiles in accredited laboratories.
Installation Procedures
Before installation, check the shade, size, and material choice, ensuring an ideal color mix by using tiles from multiple boxes. Use appropriate adhesives and follow manufacturer instructions. The substrate must be stable, dry, and at an appropriate temperature.
Jointing and Post-Installation Cleaning
Colored mortars or jointing products should be tested beforehand. For polished surfaces, contrasting colored mortars should not be used due to microporosity. Excess jointing product should be removed immediately with a sponge and water.
Maintenance Recommendations
For polished surfaces, daily cleaning with a neutral detergent like Fila Cleaner is recommended, along with regular anti-stain treatments. The use of FILA products is advised for standard maintenance.
Key Recommendations
Proper washing after installation is crucial to remove residues and prevent claims. The document emphasizes the importance of using qualified installers, especially when applying epoxy jointing products.
Cleaning and Maintenance Recommendations
Rondine recommends using Deterdek by FILA for cleaning, a powerful acidic cleaner that does not emit harmful fumes. For applications requiring waterproof grouting, epoxy mortar is suggested, but it should be applied by experienced professionals.
Daily Maintenance
For polished surfaces, daily cleaning with Fila Cleaner is recommended, adhering to dilution instructions. Regular treatment with impregnating agents is advised to protect against stains.
