Product catalog summary

Specifications:
Ceramic materials are noted for their health benefits, being free from plastic, asbestos, and formaldehyde, and not emitting hazardous organic substances. They are hygienic, easy to clean, non-absorbent, stainproof, and resistant to aggressive detergents. With a Class A1 reaction to fire, ceramics do not ignite or emit smoke or toxic gases during a fire. They are durable, resistant to foot traffic, scratches, stains, dents, and color fading from sun exposure. Ceramics are versatile, suitable for walls and floors, and excellent thermal conductors, ideal for underfloor heating. The production process complies with strict EU environmental standards.

Procedures:
The document details the creation of tiles using "sharp-edge" technology for jointless installation, resulting in smooth, continuous surfaces that are easy to clean and aesthetically pleasing. The tiles are rectified with a slightly diagonal cut for flush laying, facilitating grout penetration and preventing dirt accumulation.

Standards and Norms:
The document references compliance with EN 14411 and ISO 13006 standards for ceramic tiles, ensuring dimensions, thickness, orthogonality, straightness of edges, flatness, and surface quality meet specified requirements. Water absorption, breaking strength, bending strength, thermal shock resistance, and crazing resistance are also in accordance with ISO standards.

Recommendations:
Ceramic tiles are recommended for medium walking commercial environments with non-direct outside access, such as restaurants, bars, shops, hotels, libraries, business lounges, and banks, as well as residential settings. Matching grouts are advised for aesthetic consistency.
