Ensure proper bonding when laying over existing tiles.
Incorporate necessary expansion and perimeter joints.
Use suitable adhesive for low porosity tiles like porcelain.

Recommendations for Laying Patterns:

Avoid half-piece brick bond patterns for specific formats.
Do not exceed 15 cm overlap; maximum 25% of piece length.

Warehousing Recommendations:

Keep products in original packaging until installation.
Avoid direct sun and rain exposure.
Store under cover for long periods.

Cleaning Recommendations:

Wait 5 days after grouting before cleaning.
Protect from water and damp during adhesive curing.
Use compatible cleaning products; avoid abrasive detergents and hydrofluoric acid.

Cleaning Recommendations for Ceramic Products: Ceramic surfaces require minimal maintenance, primarily involving daily cleaning with clean water and an alkaline-based detergent. Avoid using metal scrapers or abrasive scrubbers. For stains that regular detergents cannot remove, consult the tile's chemical resistance properties before using specific solvents. The use of waxes, oils, or similar products is not recommended.

Cleaning Recommendations for Decorative and Special Pieces: Due to the metal characteristics in these products, cleaning requires only a damp cloth and neutral liquid soap. Protective materials should remain on the piece until it is installed and cleaned.

Environmental Commitment: The company invests significantly in environmental sustainability, recovering 2,700,000 liters of water daily with zero discharge of ceramic wastewater and 7,500 tons of atomized dust. They recycle 190,000 kg of discarded tiles into new products, reducing pollution and CO2 emissions. Hot air from ceramic furnaces is redirected, and emissions are limited to steam.

The Integrated Management System (SIG) focuses on the selective collection and recovery of packaging waste for treatment and recycling.
