Product catalog summary

1. Product Lines and Tile Types

The catalog presents three main tile categories: Aguarela (ceramic wall tiles, white body paste, 197x197 mm, 7 mm thick, glossy and satin finishes, multiple colors), Arte Nova (glazed white body vitrified mosaics, single-fired, sizes 97x97 mm to 297x297 mm, matte finish, mesh-mounted options), and Technical Porcelain Stoneware (fully vitrified, unglazed, fine grain, multiple colors with specified minimum recycled content percentages).

2. Tile Formats and Thickness

Tile sizes range from small mosaics (97x97 mm) to large formats (up to 597x597 mm). Thickness varies by product line and format, generally between 6 mm and 14 mm, ensuring suitability for diverse applications.

3. Finishes and Surface Treatments

Finishes include glossy, satin, matte, polished, and structured surfaces. Anti-slip treatments are available, classified under DIN 51130 standards with R11 and R12 ratings, featuring textures like diamond point and rice grain. Some tiles have special matt stamps enhancing grip and aesthetics.

4. Accessories and Special Pieces

Complementary installation pieces include skirting boards (pressed, cut, curved, rounded edges), internal and external angles, glazed cove bases for corners, and cut step treads with anti-slip finishes.

5. Technical Standards and Certifications

Tiles comply with European standards EN ISO 10545 series covering dimensional tolerances, water absorption, mechanical strength, abrasion resistance, thermal properties, frost resistance, chemical resistance, and anti-slip properties. PEI ratings indicate wear resistance for glazed tiles. Recycled content percentages support environmental compliance.

6. Dimensional Characteristics and Tolerances

Strict tolerances ensure quality and ease of installation: linear dimensions ±0.5% to ±0.6% (max ±1.5 to 2 mm), thickness ±5% (max ±0.5 mm), and tight controls on orthogonality, straightness, and flatness.

7. Physical and Mechanical Properties

Water absorption varies by tile type: ceramic wall tiles >10%, glazed mosaics 0.5%-3%, porcelain tiles ≤0.5%.
Breaking strength thresholds depend on thickness and type, e.g., porcelain tiles ≥700N (<7.5mm) and ≥1300N (≥7.5mm).
Superior abrasion resistance for porcelain tiles (deep abrasion ≤175 mm³).
Thermal expansion coefficients below 9 x10⁻⁶ K⁻¹; thermal shock resistance guaranteed.
Frost resistance mandatory for technical porcelain and glazed mosaics.

8. Chemical and Stain Resistance

Minimum class B resistance to household products and swimming pool additives.
Mandatory classification for low concentration acid/alkali resistance; high concentration resistance optional.
Stain resistance minimum class 3 for glazed tiles.

9. Safety and Environmental Considerations

Cadmium and lead release testing available on request, especially for kitchen surfaces.
Anti-slip testing per DIN 51130, DIN 51097, ENV 12633, and BS 7976-2 standards, with results from accredited labs.

10. Cleaning and Maintenance Recommendations

Immediate post-installation cleaning is critical to remove residues. Acid-based detergents recommended for initial cleaning; neutral detergents for daily maintenance. Specific stains require targeted cleaning agents (e.g., solvents for paint, specialized removers for graffiti). Safety precautions must be observed when handling strong chemicals.

Polished tiles have anti-stain sealers but still require proper cleaning to maintain appearance.

11. Slip Resistance Classification

Slip resistance is classified by inclination angles for evaluation purposes only, not actual ramp slopes. Standards include DIN 51130 (R9-R13), DIN 51097 (classes a-c for barefoot areas), UNE EN 12633 (classes 1-3), and BS 7976-2 (wet slip resistance values). Surface finishes correspond to specific slip resistance classes.

12. Installation and Quality Control

Pre-installation verification of tile model, quality, batch, and shade is essential. Claims are not accepted after installation. Shade variations may occur due to production processes. Manufacturer reserves rights to modify specifications.

13. Notable Applications

Tiles have been used in international projects such as Northwich Memorial Court (UK), Pinhal Novo Station (Portugal), O.R. Tambo Airport (South Africa), Hospital Geral de Mavalane (Mozambique), Intermarché supermarkets (France), Novotel Hotel (Algeria), and public facilities in Hong Kong and Mexico.

14. Contact and Manufacturer Information

Contact details for manufacturer and distributors in Portugal are provided, including phone, fax, email, and GPS coordinates.

Summary

This comprehensive technical catalog details ceramic and porcelain tile product lines, formats, finishes, accessories, and critical technical specifications aligned with European and international standards. It emphasizes quality control, safety, environmental compliance, and proper installation and maintenance practices to ensure durability and performance in diverse architectural applications.
