Product Range and Dimensions

The document details various ceramic and stone tile collections including SM Chianca, SM Ardesia Mix, SM Borgogna, and SM Porfido. These collections feature multiple formats and finishes suitable for indoor and outdoor applications. Common tile sizes include 40x80 cm, 60x60 cm, 30x60 cm, 20x80 cm, and mosaics of 30x30 cm (5x5 cm pieces). Thicknesses vary primarily between 10.3 mm and 20 mm, with specific outdoor tiles having a 20 mm thickness for enhanced durability.

Surface Finishes and Applications

Tiles are available in natural (nat.), rectified (rett.), and grip finishes, with grip surfaces designed for outdoor use to improve slip resistance. The collections include decorative series and special trims such as battiscopa (baseboards) and gradone (steps), available in all colors to match the tile ranges.

Technical Standards and Compliance

The products comply with European standards UNI EN 14411 Appendix G and ASTM ANSI 137.1, ensuring quality and performance. Key technical characteristics include:

• Frost Resistance: Certified to resist freezing conditions (UNI EN ISO 10545-12, C1026).
• Water Absorption: Very low absorption rates (≤ 0.5% or ≤ 0.1%) ensuring durability and suitability for wet environments.
• Bending Strength: High mechanical strength with values ≥ 35 N/mm² (standard) and ≥ 45 N/mm² (enhanced).
• Chemical Resistance: Resistant to swimming pool salts and domestic additives (Class GB minimum). Resistance to low concentration acids and bases is declared by the manufacturer; high concentration resistance is supported by available test methods.
• Surface Hardness: Mohs hardness scale ≥ 6 for non-glazed tiles, indicating good scratch resistance.
• Thermal Properties: Linear thermal expansion ≤ 9 x 10⁻⁶ K⁻¹ and resistance to thermal shocks (UNI EN ISO 10545-8 and 10545-9).
• Stain Resistance: Rated ≥ 3 or ≥ 4, suitable for various environments.
• Deep Abrasion Resistance: Non-glazed tiles have abrasion values < 150 mm³, indicating strong wear resistance.

Slip Resistance Ratings

Slip resistance is classified according to DIN standards:

• R10 (B) for dry and wet conditions with D.C.O.F. ≥ 0.40.
• R11 (C) for grip finishes and 20 mm thick tiles, also with D.C.O.F. ≥ 0.40.

This ensures safety for both indoor and outdoor applications.

Packaging and Weights

Packaging details include the number of pieces per square meter, weight per piece, and total weight per package. For example, 40x80 cm tiles at 10.3 mm thickness come in packs covering 0.96 m² with a total weight of approximately 28 kg. Thicker 20 mm tiles have fewer pieces per pack and lower total weight per square meter due to size and thickness variations.

Additional Notes
