Type of product
Our product is based on cement as the main material. Its composition is a mixture of cement, aggregates and water. The hardness of this composition is achieved through a natural setting process at room temperature for 28 days. With this natural process we can affirm that it is a new product with zero emissions during its manufacturing process.
The natural characteristics of this material cause the appearance of small uncontrollable imperfections in the form of natural salts as a result of the precipitation of water through the capillaries of the cement.
We use natural inks for our decorations that penetrate and merge with the cement of the inner layers of the pieces leaving a unique sensation with an inimitable depth.
For the finish we use a high-strength acrylic protection that penetrates and integrates into the cement, crystallising and giving optimum protection to our pieces.
Preparation
The surface where the pieces are to be placed must be perfectly smooth and rigid. It is essential that before the placement, the surface is perfectly dry.
Placement
A flexible glue cement type C2 should be used for laying. It must be applied evenly and without gaps under the pieces.
Do not hit the pieces directly to level them, use a wooden strip of at least 40 cm to apply even pressure.
Our pieces are factory-treated with a high-strength acrylic protection, so no post-processing is necessary.
It is possible that small natural discolourations may appear due to the humidity of the building site. This type of discolouration disappears over time.
Remove the excess material immediately, using a sponge and plenty of clean water, repeating this operation as many times as necessary. Do not use metal spatulas or abrasive scouring pads.
Joints
It is recommended to use 1 mm gaskets.
For grouting, use a specific product for joints of 1 mm and of a similar colour to the pieces.
During the grouting process, clean with a sponge and plenty of water before the grout starts to dry.
Underfloor heating
Our cement tiles are suitable for use in underfloor heating thanks to their composition based on cement, stone and marble dust. These materials have a very high and effective thermal conductivity for this type of installation, but it is necessary to take into account a series of indications:
It is important to use a homogeneous, gap-free adhesive base, for which a mixed binder adhesive type C2S2 should be used.
Tiles must be installed with 3 mm joints using type CG2 grout.
The temperature in contact with the tiles must not exceed 50 ºC.
Cleaning and maintenance
To clean the pieces, just use a damp cloth and neutral liquid soap.
Intended use
This product is suitable for interior and exterior floor and wall coverings.
Claims
No claims will be accepted for installed products that demonstrate that the above installation rules and instructions have not been followed.
