Product catalog summary

Slip Resistance: The document emphasizes the importance of slip resistance in flooring for safety, recommending a dynamic slip coefficient of µ>0.40. It notes the absence of an international standard, with various national methods for measurement.

Technical Characteristics: It outlines the technical specifications of porcelain stoneware, stressing the need for proper installation elements like sub-bases, binding layers, and expansion joints.

Laying Recommendations: Successful installation requires careful tile selection and adherence to manufacturer instructions for adhesives. It advises against laying tiles without gaps, especially outdoors, and specifies gap sizes for different tile types.

Installation Procedures: Key steps include selecting tiles based on aesthetic and technical requirements, ensuring proper gap sizes, and following designer and site manager instructions. Materials should be checked before installation, and a waiting period of 48-72 hours is recommended before normal use.

Grouting: Detailed instructions for grouting emphasize using appropriate colors and cleaning methods to avoid staining tiles.

Cleaning and Maintenance: Post-installation cleaning is critical, with acid-based cleaners recommended for residue removal. Regular maintenance should use neutral detergents, avoiding abrasive tools, especially on glossy surfaces.

Special Considerations: For metallic and polished tiles, only neutral pH products should be used. The document warns against hydrofluoric acid-based cleaners due to their damaging effects.

General Recommendations: It stresses informing installers and users about guidelines to prevent issues during or after installation and provides references to specialized cleaning product manufacturers.

Laying Operations: The document provides a detailed procedure for laying tiles, including selecting tiles based on requirements, avoiding edge-to-edge laying without joints, and specifying joint sizes for different products.

Guidelines for Laying Rectified Materials: It recommends maintaining a minimum 2 mm joint for installations and avoiding closed joint tiling.

Cleaning Procedures: The cleaning process involves using an alkali-based cleaner for oil and grease, followed by an acid-based cleaner, with thorough rinsing. Post-construction cleaning should occur after the cement grout is dry.

Regular Maintenance: Neutral detergents with water are recommended, avoiding acid, alkaline, wax, impregnation agents, and metal sponges. Glossy surfaces require careful handling to prevent scratches.

Extraordinary Maintenance: Specific cleaners are recommended for resistant dirt.

Metallic Materials: Only neutral pH products should be used, and products should be tested on uninstalled tiles before use.

Recommendations: Avoid cleaners containing hydrofluoric acid due to permanent damage risks. Manufacturer guidelines should be followed, with pre-tests on uninstalled materials.

Liability Disclaimer: Serenissima disclaims responsibility for issues from improper installation, negligent cleaning, or unsuitable material selection. The information is non-binding, and further details should be sought from cleaning product manufacturers.

Polished and Honed Materials: Polishing increases surface porosity, complicating cleaning. An acid-based cleaner is recommended post-installation to maintain tile integrity.

Cleaning Products Table: A table lists types of dirt, corresponding detergents, and manufacturers, emphasizing the importance of following packaging instructions and conducting pre-tests.

Verlegung und Reinigung La resistenza allo scivolamento è una caratteristica che ricade su sicurezza e salute degli utilizzatori, ovviamente nel caso di pavimentazioni. Le superfici scivolose sono potenziali cause di infortuni, anche gravi sia in ambito civile che negli ambienti di lavoro. La grandezza che quantifica la resistenza allo scivolamento è il coefficiente di attrito (statico o dinamico), al quale è proporzionale la...

Verlegung und Reinigung Con il lavaggio acido dopo posa si eliminano i residui di posa e il normale sporco di cantiere come: malta, colla, pittura, sporco da cantiere di varia natura. E’ bene sapere che oltre il 90% delle contestazioni in cantiere è dovuto ad un cattivo, o addirittura inesistente, lavaggio con detergente acido dopo posa. Per evitare che un prodotto a base acida usato per la prima pulizia vada ad intaccare il riempimento a base cementizia delle fughe, è necessario, prima dell’operazione di pulizia, bagnare il pavimento affinché...

POSA E PULIZIA Laying and cleaning . Pose et lavage . Verlegung und Reinigung peinture, ciment, etc. ... Nous vous rappelons que 90% et plus des litiges sur les chantiers sont dus à de mauvaises applications de produits de nettoyage à base d’acides, ou encore à la complète absence de traitements après la pose. Pour éviter que le lavage après la pose à base acide puisse détériorer le ciment des joints, il est nécessaire de mouiller la surface pour permettre l’absorption d’eau et donc la protection contre l’action érosive sur les joints. Si le premier nettoyage après la pose doit être fait après...
