Product catalog summary

Introduction
This document serves as a 2013 product guide and price list for ceramic manufacturing, emphasizing environmental sustainability and advanced technology.

Environmental Commitment
The company is committed to the safety and comfort of production staff, environmental respect, and construction site worker safety. Packaging is designed for easy handling and is fully recyclable. The production process complies with European environmental standards, featuring soundproofed machinery areas, low-emission lighting, and real-time environmental monitoring.

Product Innovation
The introduction of a 4.8 mm thin slab marks a significant advancement in energy-saving technology, enabling high-quality porcelain stoneware production with reduced energy consumption for firing and transportation.

GIGACER Service
The GIGACER Service offers technical and commercial support for various needs, including product laying solutions, cleaning, and custom designs. Customers can seek information on laying 4.8 mm products, large formats, and more.

Surface Finishes
The document details various surface finishes such as bush hammered, honed, and polished, each offering different aesthetic and functional properties suitable for various applications.

Product Specifications
A detailed table of product specifications is included, covering color, thickness, and available decors for different product lines like KREA and CONCRETE.

Production Process
The production process involves creating large porcelain slabs (120x120 cm) that can be cut and finished in various ways. The innovative "CONTINUA" technology allows for decorative effects without glazes, using colored porcelain powders.

4.8 mm User Manual
The 4.8 mm slabs are described as durable, lightweight, fire-resistant, frost-proof, and eco-friendly, ideal for both interior and exterior applications, especially in renovations where they can be applied over existing surfaces without demolition.

Conclusion
The document emphasizes the company's commitment to innovation, quality, and environmental responsibility in ceramic manufacturing.

Specifications and Standards
The document outlines the stain resistance of ceramic tiles according to ISO 10545-14 and the coefficient of friction as per DIN 51130 and DIN 51097 standards. Specific products like 'bercy bocciardato' and 'luserna bocciardato' have R12 A+B+C ratings, indicating their slip resistance.

Substrate Preparation
The substrate must be robust, planar, mature, and free from contaminants to ensure proper adhesion of ceramic tiles. For reinforced concrete, cracks should be sealed with a two-component epoxy adhesive. If the surface is dusty, a low-VOC resin primer should be applied. Similar preparation steps are necessary for screed coats, ensuring the surface can bear the weight of the tiles.

Installation on Existing Floors
Existing ceramic or stone floors must be checked for solid attachment and planarity. Cracks should be sealed, and any removed tiles should be filled with leveling compounds. The surface should be cleaned with a caustic soda solution and may require abrasion for better adhesion.

Tiling and Adhesives
Adhesives should be selected based on the substrate type and environmental conditions. Recommended adhesives include various Mapei and Ardex products. A double spreading technique is advised for thin slabs to ensure complete wetting and adhesion.

Grouting
Joints should be 2mm for multi-format and 2-4mm for single-format tiles. Grouting should occur after the adhesive has set, with specific times for fast and regular set adhesives.

Cleaning and Maintenance
Initial cleaning is crucial for long-term maintenance. Residues from installation should be removed with acid-based detergents. Regular cleaning should use neutral detergents to avoid residue build-up. Protective measures for grout lines are recommended to prevent staining and facilitate cleaning.

Recommendations
Avoid using rust removers or spray cleaners containing hydrofluoric acid, as they can cause irreparable damage. Protect grout lines with products like FUGAproof to maintain their appearance over time.

Cleaning and Maintenance Procedures
Initial cleaning after laying is crucial to prevent staining and ensure easy future maintenance. Use an acid detergent like È cosÌ cherodal diluted in water (1:2) and rinse thoroughly until the water is clear. If residues remain, repeat the process. For routine cleaning, use a neutral detergent like È cosÌ velvet diluted 1:200. Avoid using dirty water or excess detergent to prevent film formation.

Product Recommendations
Gigacer recommends using specific cleaning products from È CosÌ for maintaining their floors. For initial cleaning, use È cosÌ cherodal. For routine cleaning, È cosÌ velvet is suggested. For extraordinary cleaning, products like È cosÌ mic one are recommended.

Packaging and Handling
Gigacer has developed a special packaging system for large format tiles to ensure stability and easy handling. The packaging uses minimal recyclable materials and allows for product inspection before opening. The tiles are packed horizontally to prevent damage during transport.

Certifications
Gigacer has achieved ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 14001 certifications, ensuring high-quality standards. The products are regularly tested by international certification bodies.

Bocciardato Bush Hammered Lappato Honed Bocciardato Bush Hammered Lappato Honed La superficie è ruvida. L’ideale per ambienti esterni o che si bagnano spesso, per via del suo elevato grado di antiscivolosità. (R10, R11, R12 A+B+C=) Superficie naturale: il materiale risulta opaco, satinato ed omogeneo; la superficie non subisce ulteriori lavorazioni dopo la cottura. La superficie è più lucente e morbida al tatto rispetto alla versione MAT. Viene ottenuta spazzolando lievemente la superficie. The surface is rough and wrinkled. It is ideal for outdoor floors or which get often wet because of its...

SUPERFICI SURFACES Levigato Polished Levigato Polished La superficie viene spazzolata nella parte superiore, in modo da ottenere zone più lucide in contrasto con zone in bassorilievo più opache. Il prodotto MAT viene levigato con delle mole che ne asportano lo strato superficiale, rendendo il materiale lucido e riflettente. La nostra superficie levigata non è perfettamente piatta, ma è leggermente ondulata, e conserva un movimento naturale che riproduce la levigatura in opera dei pavimenti di pietra naturale. The surface is brushed on the top, to obtain more shiny parts which contrast with more...
