Product catalog summary

Introduction
The document "The Composition Balance and the Harmony in Shapes" by Geologica Innovative Marble discusses the aesthetic and technical aspects of marble varieties, focusing on their timeless elegance and environmental considerations.

Marble Varieties
The Marble Lab collection includes ten ultra-pure marble shades, each with unique veining patterns: Taxos, Calacatta Statuario, Premium White, Bianco Striato, Quarzo Greige, Calacatta Elite, Noble Ecrù, Glam Bronze, Pietra Grey, and Nero Portoro. These are available in polished and semi-polished finishes and in sizes of 120x60 cm, 60x60 cm, and 60x30 cm.

Technical Characteristics
The marble slabs are 8 mm thick, reducing energy consumption during production and logistics, and allowing higher load capacity during transportation, aligning with environmental sustainability goals.

Specific Marble Descriptions

Taxos: Bright white surface with subtle clouding, from the northern Aegean.
Premium White: Delicate, faint streaks, compared to silk and pearls.
Calacatta Statuario: Ivory-white with grey veins, historically used for statues.
Calacatta Elite: Custard-yellow and grey veins on an ivory-white surface.

Environmental and Maintenance Information
Includes advice on grouting, cleaning, and maintenance of marble surfaces, and information on color change and environmental considerations.

Conclusion
The document emphasizes the balance between aesthetic appeal and environmental responsibility in marble production, showcasing the Marble Lab collection's beauty and innovation.

Recommendations

Careful selection of sealants for joints, matching the tone of the tiles.
Follow technical data sheets and adhere to recommended application times.

Additional Notes
Fiandre reserves the right to make technical and formal modifications to the data in this catalogue. The tiles are suitable for various applications, offering durability comparable to natural marble and granite.

General Advice for Grouting
Choose the right sealants for joints by checking technical sheets and matching the tile color. Conduct a test patch before application. For polished surfaces, fill gaps with sealant diagonally and remove excess grout immediately.

Technical Notes
GranitiFiandre collections may have color and vein variations due to their natural and man-made origins. Special pieces are sold in full boxes, and materials can be squared and rectified upon request with an additional cost.

Environmental Information
Products with a specific symbol contain at least 40% recycled material and comply with LEED requirements for recycled content.

Cleaning and Maintenance
Fiandre materials are easy to clean and maintain. Initial cleaning is crucial to remove mortar and adhesive residues using an acid decalcifying product. Regular maintenance involves using low-concentration detergents, avoiding waxes, and protecting surfaces post-installation. For heavily trafficked areas, use automatic cleaning machines to prevent film formation.

Introduction
Fiandre materials are designed for easy cleaning and maintenance, enhancing their aesthetic qualities and providing exceptional shine to floors.

Initial Cleaning
Initial cleaning is crucial and should be performed immediately after installation to remove cement, adhesive, and epoxy residues. An acidic descaling product is recommended, followed by vigorous scrubbing and thorough rinsing with water to remove detergent traces.

Maintenance and Care
Due to the production process, Fiandre surfaces are nearly impermeable, preventing dirt from penetrating. Wax-containing detergents are discouraged to avoid greasy layers. After installation, surfaces should be protected with suitable materials to prevent damage from subsequent construction work.

General Recommendations
For large surfaces like airports and hospitals, automatic cleaning machines with liquid suction are essential to prevent dirt films. All market detergents can be used on Fiandre materials, except hydrofluoric acid (HF) and its compounds. Detergent concentration should be minimal for cost efficiency and maintenance speed.

Detergents
Detergents are necessary for preparing the base for new installations or removing residues from installed materials. For non-polished materials, regular maintenance with a mild alkaline detergent solution is sufficient. Waterproofing treatments are not recommended for non-porous surfaces to avoid uneven deposits.

Relief Materials
The cleaning procedure for matte and glossy materials applies to relief surfaces, with additional recommendations: clean along the relief pattern, scrub vigorously with appropriate brushes, and rinse thoroughly.

General Sales Conditions
These conditions govern all sales contracts unless modified in writing. The supply includes only the items specified in our order confirmation. Partial order execution does not imply full approval. Delivery terms are indicative and not essential, with force majeure events suspending deadlines.

Dallo studio dell’equilibrio compositivo e della ricerca delle armonie delle forme, deriva quella perfezione dell’arte classica che l’ha resa immortale; il marmo riporta alla mente i leggeri panneggi e le forme flessuose della classicità, la cui bellezza e compiutezza sono esaltate dal fascino delle lievi venature e dalla delicata robustezza della pietra marmorea. La collezione Marble Lab si compone di dieci tonalità purissime, scelte tra le varietà di marmi più raffinati, le cui venature, talvolta lievi e talvolta più intense, ne costituiscono l’elemento caratterizzante e ne determinano l’elegante...

Originario dell’Egeo più settentrionale, il candore della sua superficie è attraversato soltanto da pallide nuvolature appena accennate; Se è vero che il termine marmo deriva dal geco antico marmareos –splendente, luccicante – si potrebbe quasi pensare che esso sia stato coniato alla vista di questa superficie bianchissima, luminosa e compatta. Sourced from the northern-most part of the Aegean Sea, the whiteness of its surface is broken only by pale, barely perceptible clouding; since the term marble comes from the ancient Greek word marmareos – meaning shiny, sparkly – we could almost state...

PREMIUM WHITE | MARBLE LAB La pietra chiara è appena sfiorata dalle tenui striature formate dal tempo che si è stratificato. Delicato come una seta preziosa e pregiato come una perla naturale, ma solenne e possente come solo i marmi bianchi sanno essere. The pale stone is barely touched by the faint streaks formed over time and subsequently stratified. As delicate as precious silk and as valuable as a natural pearl, yet sound and mighty like only white marbles know how. Der helle Stein sieht sich von dünnen, geschichteten Streifen berührt, die von der Zeit geschaffen wurden. Fein wie kostbare...
