Product catalog summary

Friction Coefficient and Slip Resistance
The document highlights the significance of both static and dynamic friction coefficients in assessing slip resistance. A higher friction coefficient suggests reduced slipperiness. There is no standardized international method for measuring this, with reliance on national regulations. Optimal dynamic friction coefficient values are µ>0.40, R≥R9, and µ≥A. Slip resistance is measured using the angle of inclination (R) and resistance values (A.B.C.) for wet and barefoot conditions.

Technical Characteristics and Installation Recommendations
The effectiveness of a porcelain stoneware floor is contingent on its technical and aesthetic qualities, alongside proper installation. Key components include the substrate, bonding layer, and expansion joints. Adhesive selection and application should adhere to manufacturer guidelines. It is essential to ensure grout products do not stain tiles and that stains are easily removable. Consulting technical experts is advised for specific environmental conditions.

Installation Procedures
1. Select tiles based on aesthetic and technical needs, including formats, layout, and grout color.
2. Avoid installations without grout, especially outdoors. Use 2 mm grout for rectified products and 4-5 mm for non-rectified products.
3. Specify if the material is for multi-format installation when ordering.
4. Serenissima porcelain stoneware can be installed with traditional mortar or adhesive.
5. Follow designer and site manager instructions for installation.
6. Adhere to material processing times per manufacturer guidelines.
7. Inspect materials before installation; complaints about installed materials will not be accepted.
8. Lay out a few square meters to check the overall effect, using tiles from multiple boxes for consistency.
9. Leave at least a 3 mm gap between tiles due to slight size variations.
10. Do not mark the top surface with pencils or markers.
11. Wait 48-72 hours before allowing normal foot traffic.
12. Recommended staggered installation should not exceed 25% of the tile length.

Grouting and Cleaning
1. Use grout colors that match the tiles, avoiding dark colors on light tiles.
2. Fill grout lines only when the floor is walkable, removing any debris beforehand.
3. Follow designer and site manager instructions for grouting.
4. Grout small areas at a time and remove excess with damp sponges or cloths.
5. Clean cementitious grout residues with a damp sponge at the end of the day.
6. For epoxy or additive grouts, follow manufacturer instructions carefully due to rapid hardening.

Post-Installation Cleaning and Maintenance
Post-installation cleaning is crucial for maintenance. Acidic cleaning removes installation residues and construction dirt. Wet the floor before cleaning to protect grout from acid damage. Use alkaline detergents for greasy substances before acidic cleaning. Rinse thoroughly after cleaning. Regular maintenance should use neutral detergents, avoiding acidic or alkaline products. For stubborn dirt, use appropriate detergents based on the type of dirt. For metallic tiles, use only neutral pH products.

Warnings and Recommendations
Avoid using hydrofluoric acid-based products as they can cause irreparable damage. Cleaning characteristics vary based on installation, usage conditions, and surface types. Increased slip resistance can make cleaning more challenging. Professional maintenance personnel should conduct preliminary tests on uninstalled material. Serenissima is not responsible for damages due to incorrect installation or maintenance.

Specifications and Recommendations
Serenissima emphasizes the importance of post-installation cleaning using acid-based detergents to maintain the aesthetic and technical features of porcelain stoneware. It is recommended to apply certified stain protection products after cleaning to prevent absorption of stains.

Laying Suggestions
The success of a porcelain stoneware floor depends on both the material's features and the correct laying operations. The choice of adhesive and application method should follow the manufacturer's instructions, and the design should be entrusted to an expert. Key considerations include the dimensions of the sub-base, cement layers, and the entire laying system.

Laying Operations
1. Choose tiles based on aesthetic and technical requirements.
2. Avoid edge-to-edge laying without joints, especially outdoors.
3. Specify if materials are for multiformat laying when ordering.
4. Use traditional mortar or adhesive for laying.
5. Follow professional standards and instructions from designers and site managers.
6. Check materials before laying; claims on installed materials are not accepted.
7. Ensure a minimum grout line of 3 mm between tiles.
8. Avoid marking tiles with pencils or pens.
9. Wait 48-72 hours before walking on the floor.

Grouting
Use grout with matching color shades and fill joints only when the floor is safe to walk on. Grout small areas at a time and remove excess with sponges or machines. Cement-based grouts should be cleaned with acid-based detergents after 4-5 days.

Cleaning and Maintenance
Initial cleaning after installation is crucial for long-term maintenance. Use neutral detergents for routine cleaning and avoid acid or alkaline products. For heavy dirt, use suitable detergents and rinse thoroughly. For metallized tiles, use only neutral pH products.

Warnings
Cleaning characteristics vary based on laying method and conditions. Serenissima is not responsible for issues arising from incorrect laying or cleaning. Always test cleaning methods on a non-laid piece first.

Treatment of Honed and Polished Products
Post-laying washing with acid cleaners is necessary, followed by stain protection to maintain the tile's features. Any pre-laying treatment will be removed by acid washing.

CARATTERISTICHE TECNICHE Technical characteristics . Caractéristiques techniques . Technische daten . Texнические характеристики. 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 forza, parallela alla superficie di contatto, che occorre applicare...

POSA E PULIZIA Laying and cleaning . Pose et lavage . Verlegung und Reinigung La totale riuscita di un pavimento in gres porcellanato di Serenissima è dovuta, oltre alle qualità tecniche e estetiche del materiale, a un insieme di elementi (sottofondo, strato legante, giunti di dilatazione, ecc.) che costituiscono un vero e proprio sistema. Anche le operazioni di posa, eseguite nella loro corretta successione, sono da considerare importanti tanto quanto la scelta delle piastrelle. Nella scelta dell’adesivo più indicato e per le modalità di applicazione si consiglia di attenersi alle istruzioni...

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 le fughe vengano impregnante e pertanto protette dall’azione corrosiva dell’acido...

POSA E PULIZIA Laying and cleaning . Pose et lavage . Verlegung und Reinigung LAYING SUGGESTIONS The success of a porcelain stoneware floor by Serenissima is due to the technical and aesthetical features of the materials as well as to a combination of elements (bed, binding layer, expansion joints, etc.) which build up a real system. The laying operations, carried out in the correct sequence, are also as important as the choice of tiles. When choosing the most suitable adhesive and the application method refer to the instructions of the manufacturer. However, the designers has to establish the...
