Technical Specifications and Standards

The tiles comply with the European standard EN14411 Annex G, Group BIa, and are classified as fully vitrified technical porcelain tiles with double loading.

Dimensional Characteristics

• Linear dimensions tolerance: ±0.6% (max ±2 mm).
• Orthogonality, straightness, and flatness tolerances: ±0.5% (max ±2 mm or ±1.5 mm depending on parameter).
• Thickness tolerance: ±5% (max ±0.5 mm).

Physical and Mechanical Properties

• Water absorption: ≤ 0.5% (actual ≤ 0.08%).
• Breaking strength (flexural strength): ≥ 35 N/mm², with higher values depending on tile thickness (e.g., ≥ 2600 N for 10.5 mm thickness).
• Deep abrasion resistance (unglazed tiles): ≤ 175 mm³ (actual 130 mm³).
• Surface abrasion resistance (glazed tiles): Classified per reference.
• Linear thermal expansion: ≤ 7 x 10⁻⁶ K⁻¹.
• Thermal shock resistance: Resistant.
• Frost resistance: Must not show surface damage or breakage; resistant.
• Resistance to hairline cracking: Guaranteed for glazed tiles.

Chemical Resistance

• Resistance to household cleaning products and swimming pool additives: Minimum Class B, guaranteed.
• Resistance to low/high concentrations of acids and alkalis: Classification to be confirmed case by case.
• Stain resistance: Minimum Class 3 for glazed tiles, ≥ Class 2 for unglazed tiles, guaranteed.

Safety and Environmental

• Cadmium and lead release: Tested upon request, especially for special surfaces like kitchen countertops.
• Slip resistance: Anti-slip properties tested upon request according to standards DIN 51130, DIN 51097, ENV 12633, BS7976-2; results available from certified external laboratories.
