Overview: The document discusses the use of a ventilated coating system for wall cladding in residential and commercial areas, both indoors and outdoors. It highlights the ease of installation and handling due to the lightweight nature of the materials used.

Specifications: The ventilated coating system utilizes Granitech technology, which involves the use of specially designed profiles for project-specific features. The system is designed to reduce on-site assembly operations by manufacturing cells in a controlled environment. These cells are made of fine porcelain stoneware and are assembled to form a continuous wall structure.

Procedures: The assembly of the ventilated coating involves connecting porcelain stoneware elements to system profiles to create self-supporting cells. These cells are interconnected mechanically and anchored to the building structure using aluminum or galvanized steel brackets. The system allows for adjustments to accommodate construction tolerances.

Standards and Recommendations: The document emphasizes the importance of controlled manufacturing to ensure optimal structural sealing. It recommends limiting on-site operations to the positioning of pre-constructed cells, which reduces installation time and labor requirements. The system is designed to withstand various loads and stresses, including wind forces.

Ventilation and Insulation: The system includes a ventilation gap between the external cladding and the building's insulated wall structure. This gap facilitates continuous moisture removal, maintaining the insulation in optimal condition. The ventilation is achieved through a chimney effect, with air movement facilitated by openings at the base and top of the system.

Technical Characteristics: The ventilated facade system is characterized by its modular design, allowing for easy assembly and mechanical interconnection of cells. The system is designed to absorb differential thermal expansions and includes specific seals to reduce air and water penetration.

Product Overview: The document provides detailed specifications for various ceramic tile products under the MAXIMUM Fiandre Extralite brand. These tiles are characterized by their large formats and thin profiles, available in thicknesses of 3 mm and 6 mm, and are suitable for both flooring and wall applications.

Specifications: The tiles come in various sizes, including 300x150 cm, 300x100 cm, 300x50 cm, 150x150 cm, 150x75 cm, 100x100 cm, 75x75 cm, and 75x37.5 cm. They are available in a semi-polished finish and are designed for both aesthetic appeal and technical performance. The tiles are lightweight, with the 3 mm version weighing approximately 37 kg per slab and the 6 mm version weighing about 66 kg per slab.

Applications: MAXIMUM tiles are suitable for both interior and exterior applications in residential and commercial settings. The 3 mm tiles are ideal for wall coverings, while the 6 mm tiles can be used for both walls and floors, including high-traffic areas.

Installation and Handling: Due to their thinness, MAXIMUM tiles are easier to handle compared to traditional stone slabs. They can be stored vertically or horizontally, with precautions to ensure the surface is clean and free from debris. Installation requires a dry, clean, stable, and level substrate.

Cutting and Drilling: The tiles can be easily cut using glass cutters or continuous diamond blades. For drilling, tungsten carbide bits are recommended, with water cooling to prevent overheating. For larger holes, hole saws are advised.

Environmental and Technical Standards: The production of MAXIMUM tiles adheres to high technical and ecological standards, ensuring quality, innovation, and environmental respect.

Specifications and Procedures: Before installation, ensure the substrate is flat, stable, and free from cracks or moisture. For external plaster applications, the substrate must withstand various stresses, including weight, thermal expansion, and weather conditions. Use the double spreading technique for adhesive application, ensuring full contact between the slab and substrate.

Floor Installation: MAXIMUM 6 mm slabs are suitable for indoor residential and commercial areas with high pedestrian traffic but not for heavy concentrated loads. Ensure the substrate is flat, clean, and free from debris. Use specific adhesives compliant with EN12004 and apply using the double spreading technique. Leave a 1-2 mm gap for grout penetration.

Expansion Joints: For surfaces up to 40/50 m², maintain a 2 cm clearance from perimeter walls. For larger areas, use flexible expansion joints, dividing the surface into 5x5 m sections with elastomeric sealants.

Cleaning and Maintenance: Initial cleaning is crucial to remove mortar, adhesives, and epoxy residues. Use an acid product like FIANDRE CLEAN in a 1:1 concentration, followed by thorough rinsing. Regular maintenance involves using alkaline detergents and avoiding wax-containing products to prevent greasy layers.

Handling and Cutting: MAXIMUM slabs are lightweight and easy to handle. For cutting, use glass cutters or diamond discs, and for drilling, use Tungsten tips cooled with water. Avoid strong pressures and use hollow cutters for larger diameters.

General Recommendations: Protect surfaces from construction debris post-installation. Use appropriate cleaning machines for large areas with heavy dirt loads. Avoid using hydrofluoric acid and its compounds as per UNI-EN 176 standards.
