Croatia
The document introduces 'Croatia', a porcelain stoneware inspired by the rocky landscapes of Istria, Croatia. It highlights the natural beauty and strength of stone, emphasizing fine fossil components and marble inclusions.
Specifications
The stoneware features delicate color tones and utilizes innovative digital ceramic technologies for realistic graphics and textural effects, ensuring excellent technical performance and aesthetic consistency.
Product Range
The product offers various sizes and thicknesses, with a range of decorations and trims suitable for residential and commercial use, both indoors and outdoors.
Design and Aesthetics
The design includes nuances, veining, and mineral inclusions, maintaining its beauty over time with realistic and harmonious chromatic trends.
Technological Innovations
Safe Technology is introduced, providing non-slip surfaces with a high dynamic coefficient of friction (R11 A+B+C), meeting international slip resistance standards while maintaining cleanability and aesthetics.
Environmental Considerations
The 20mm slabs contain over 40% recycled material, suitable for residential and commercial use, integrating with the environment and offering multiple outdoor laying solutions.
Collaborations
The document mentions collaboration with street artist Fabio Schirru, known as Tellas, who incorporates nature into urban art.
Conclusion
'Croatia' stoneware is presented as a durable, versatile, and aesthetically pleasing option for architectural and design projects, combining innovative technology with environmental sustainability.
The document details slip resistance for barefoot areas per DIN EN 16165:2021, with classifications A to C. It also outlines static and dynamic coefficients of friction (C.O.F. and D.C.O.F.) for different tile types under dry and wet conditions, following ASTM C 1028 and ANSI A326.3 standards. Static C.O.F. ranges from 0.60 to 0.96, while dynamic C.O.F. exceeds 0.42 in wet conditions.
Tiles are classified under EN 14411 BIa annex G, UGL, with thicknesses from 6mm to 20mm. Key properties include water absorption (≤0.5%), breaking strength (>700 N for Matt, >5000 N for Grip), modulus of rupture (>35 N/mm² for Matt, >50 N/mm² for Grip), and resistance to deep abrasion (≤175 mm³).
Tiles resist thermal shock and frost, with a linear thermal expansion of 6.6 (10-6 °C-1). They also show chemical resistance (classified as A) and stain resistance (classes 3 to 5).
For tiles larger than 60 cm, leveling spacers are recommended for a flat surface and reduced installation time. A 2 mm joint is advised, and polished products require careful handling. Detailed instructions for cutting, handling, and adhesive application emphasize double spreading techniques and a full adhesive bed.
Tiles should be handled with appropriate tools, such as suction cups and handling bars, especially for sizes over 100 cm. Cutting should be on a stable surface using professional guides and diamond tools, with wet cutting preferred to avoid dust exposure.
Cerdomus provides detailed instructions for laying tiles, especially those over 60 cm. Leveling spacers ensure a flat surface and reduce laying time. Alternating tiles from different boxes manages shade variations. A 2 mm grout joint is recommended, and caution is advised when handling polished tiles.
Laying Instructions for Large Formats
Before installation, verify material conformity and color match with the worksite. Compliance with UNI 11493-1 regulations is necessary, ensuring the screed is flat, clean, and has a humidity value below 3% to prevent efflorescence. Cracks should be sealed before laying.
Slab Handling and Installation
Slabs larger than 100 cm require handling by two installers using appropriate equipment like handling bars with suction cups to ensure safety and material integrity.
Slab Cutting
Cutting should be done on a stable surface using professional guides. The process involves marking, etching, and using special pliers for clean cuts. Wet cutting is recommended to avoid harmful dust.
Gluing
The double coat technique is required, applying adhesive on both the substrate and slab. A C2F (E) S1/S2 class adhesive is recommended. Ensure surfaces are clean and even, and use a toothed spatula for application. Leveling spacers should be used for large slabs, maintaining a minimum adhesive layer of 4 mm.
General Recommendations
Protect the floor after laying until construction is complete. Clean tiles quickly after grouting with special detergents to maintain their appearance. Cerdomus disclaims responsibility for defects from incorrect laying.
