Product catalog summary
Introduction
LA FORESTA DI GRES is a conceptual exploration of technological innovation, merging the aesthetic warmth of parquet with the durability of ceramic tiles. It focuses on eco-sustainable production, offering wood-like beauty without deforestation.
Product Overview
The Woodie series from the Ceramica Rondine collection features wood-effect glazed porcelain stoneware in exclusive formats: 7.5x45, 7.5x40.7 Chevron, and 24x120. It caters to discerning customers with its quality, variety, and innovative style.
Design and Aesthetics
Woodie combines classic and contemporary styles, offering the authentic feel of wood in traditional parquet shapes. The collection's diverse colors and patterns allow for endless combinations and visual appeal.
Installation Techniques
The document describes the Hungarian Point or Chevron installation method, laying strips at a 60° angle to create a fishbone pattern, ideal for small to medium floors to enhance visual space.
Color and Style
Woodie surfaces come in colors like beige and blue, each offering unique aesthetics. Beige provides a warm, contemporary feel, while blue offers a relaxing ambiance.
Conclusion
LA FORESTA DI GRES and the Woodie series blend elegance, minimalism, and innovation in ceramic tile design, providing eco-friendly solutions with wood-like beauty.
Specifications
Woodie surfaces feature blue tones that brighten spaces, inspired by Italian walnut for a unique aesthetic compared to common oak reproductions.
Procedures
Wood-effect porcelain stoneware is made through a thermal/mechanical process compacting clay and sand, with a water absorption coefficient below 0.5% per UNI standards.
Standards
UNI standards require stoneware to have a water absorption coefficient below 0.5%, ensuring high tensile strength and environmental resistance.
Recommendations
Wood-effect stoneware is recommended for its abrasion, frost, impact, scratch, and chemical resistance, suitable for public and private spaces, indoors and outdoors. It requires minimal maintenance and can be cleaned with neutral detergents.
Advantages
Compared to traditional parquet, wood-effect stoneware is less expensive, has superior mechanical properties, requires less maintenance, is easier to clean, more impact and scratch-resistant, and eco-friendly.
Design and Aesthetics
Woodie surfaces accommodate various styles, from classic to modern, with chevron tiling layouts modernizing historic Italian flooring designs.
Laying Procedures
Before laying tiles, check shade, size, and material choice. Use tiles from multiple boxes for color consistency. Ensure the surface is stable, dry, and at the right temperature. Use proper adhesives and avoid gaps between tiles and surfaces. Special care is needed for smooth, glazed, or lapped surfaces.
Grouting and Cleaning
Grouting should be done carefully, especially on smooth surfaces, to avoid contrasting colors highlighting microporosity. Remove excess grout immediately and clean thoroughly with buffered acids a few days after laying. Use liquid extractors to prevent spreading dirty water. Epoxy mortar can be used for waterproof grouting but requires expert application.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance involves daily cleaning with a neutral detergent like Fila Cleaner. Periodic anti-stain treatments protect against markers, ink, and rust. Proper post-laying cleaning prevents over 90% of site complaints.
Recommendations
For tiles larger than 60 cm, use Raimondi levelling spacers for a flat surface and reduced installation time. Avoid detergents with hydrofluoric acid, which can damage tile surfaces.
Levelling Systems Overview
The Levelling System and AndalSystem by Raimondi are recommended for tiles larger than 60 cm, ensuring a flat surface and reducing laying time. A demonstration video is available on the Ceramica Rondine YouTube channel.
Tile Laying Recommendations
For rectangular tiles, stagger them by no more than 6-10 cm. The joint width should be a minimum of 3 mm for non-rectified products and 2 mm for rectified products. Check shade, caliber, and grade before laying, and mix tiles from different boxes for color consistency. Ensure the substrate is stable, dry, and properly cured.
Grouting and Cleaning
Test grouting before use, especially for colored fillers. Clean cement-based grouts immediately with a sponge and water. Use buffered acids a few days after laying to remove residues. Rondine suggests using Deterdek by FILA for cleaning, following dilution instructions strictly.
Technical Specifications
Technical specifications include bending strength, frost resistance, stain resistance, water absorption, slip resistance, chemical resistance, abrasion resistance, and Mohs hardness, in accordance with UNI EN ISO standards.

Technical features provide average values across production runs. Minor discrepancies in quality figures for specific batches are not considered production failures.
