Introduction to H&CTiles Technology
H&CTiles is a ceramic tile technology that incorporates Hydrotect technology, which uses a titanium dioxide coating to reduce environmental pollution. This technology provides self-cleaning, antibacterial, and odor-neutralizing properties. The process is activated by ultraviolet radiation, which initiates a photocatalytic reaction that generates active oxygen to decompose dirt, making it easy to remove due to the hydrophilic nature of the surface. This coating is applied directly to ceramic tiles, ensuring long-lasting, self-regenerating effects without compromising the aesthetic and technical qualities of the tiles. Grespania emphasizes its commitment to health, comfort, and sustainability in architectural spaces.

Applications of H&CTiles
H&CTiles are suitable for both interior and exterior applications, including health centers, facades, gyms, spas, and high-traffic restrooms. The technology purifies the air by eliminating nitrogen oxides (NOx), contributing to healthier environments.

CarvedTechnology
CarvedTechnology is a technique used to create ceramic tiles with a highly realistic natural appearance. It achieves this through a synchronized low-relief effect that mimics the veins and textures of natural materials like marble and stone. This technology enhances the sensory experience of ceramic tiles, elevating their design to a new level.

3DTechnology
3DTechnology allows for the creation of relief effects that are perfectly aligned with the graphic design of the tiles. When polished, these tiles reveal attractive matte/gloss finishes. This technology can replicate the look of aged marble or stone, providing extremely realistic stone reliefs and visually striking decorative textures.

Porcelain Tile Specifications
The document provides detailed specifications for various types of porcelain tiles, including throughbody porcelain tiles, wall tiles, and mosaics. It includes information on available sizes, finishes, and anti-slip properties. The tiles are available in a range of colors and textures, such as natural, polished, and relief finishes.

Tile Collections

Tile Sizes and Formats
Tiles are available in multiple sizes including 60x60 cm, 30x60 cm, 80x80 cm, and 120x120 cm. The document also mentions specific formats like peldaño (step), escuadra (corner), and rodapié (baseboard).

Finishes and Textures
Tiles come in various finishes such as natural, anti-slip, and polished. The document emphasizes the full-body porcelain nature of the tiles, ensuring durability and uniformity.

Technical Specifications
Each tile type is associated with codes for easy identification. The document includes technical details like thickness, slip resistance, and surface technology (e.g., 3DTechnology).

Applications
The tiles are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, with specific recommendations for areas requiring anti-slip surfaces.

Critical Information
The document highlights the importance of selecting the right tile finish and size for specific applications, ensuring both aesthetic appeal and functional performance. It also underscores the versatility of porcelain tiles in various architectural and design contexts.

Packaging Specifications
The document outlines the packaging specifications for various tile products, including dimensions, number of pieces per box, square meters per box, and weight. It also details the number of boxes per pallet and the total weight per pallet.

Product Specifications
The document lists different types of tiles, including porcelain tiles and mosaics, with specific measurements and packaging details. It highlights the unique characteristics of the MUSA series, which should only be used as wall coverings and not in wet areas.

Installation Recommendations
For products with shade variations, it is recommended to mix tiles from different boxes to achieve a natural look. A minimum joint width of 3mm is advised.

Tile Layout Patterns
Various tile layout patterns are provided, showing different combinations of tile sizes to achieve specific aesthetic results.

Technical Standards
The document references several technical standards, including resistance to thermal shock and breaking strength, as per ISO standards.

Specifications and Testing Procedures

Bending Strength (ISO 10545-4): This test involves applying a force at a determined speed to the center of the tile, ensuring contact with the visible surface.
Crazing Resistance (ISO 10545-11): Tiles are subjected to high-pressure steam in an autoclave and examined after applying a coloring substance to determine resistance to fine cracks.
Frost Resistance (ISO 10545-12): Tiles are impregnated with water and subjected to freeze/thaw cycles between +5ºC and -5ºC for at least 100 cycles.
Stain Resistance (ISO 10545-14): Tiles are exposed to various staining agents, cleaned, and examined for irreversible visual changes, classified from 1 (persistent stain) to 5 (stain removed).
Chemical Resistance (ISO 10545-13): Tiles are exposed to test solutions and visually inspected. Classifications for cleaning products, weak acids/bases, and strong acids/bases range from A (no visible effect) to C (visible effects).
Water Absorption (ISO 10545-3): The boiling method is used to calculate the water absorption rate by measuring the difference between wet and dry tile weights.
Abrasion Resistance (ISO 10545-7): Glazed tiles are subjected to a rotating abrasive load, with wear assessed visually. Classifications range from V (visible defect at over 12,000 rev) to 0 (visible at over 100 rev).
Deep Abrasion Resistance (ISO 10545-6): For unglazed tiles, the material loss in mm3 is determined using a rotating disc with abrasive material.
Reaction to Fire (UNE-EN 13501-1): European classification of materials' reaction to fire according to RD 312/2005 and UNE EN 13501-1:2002 standards.
Impact Resistance: A steel ball impacts the tile center from a specified height, and the bounce height is measured.
Slip Resistance (BS-EN 16165 and ANSI-A326.3): Various tests measure slip resistance, including barefoot and shod ramp tests, and the PTV pendulum method, classifying risk levels from high to low.
