Type of product
Our product is based on cement as the main material. In its composition we find a mixture of cement, aggregates and water.
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 in the internal 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 crystallizing and giving optimum protection to our pieces.
Preparation
Place the pieces on a rigid surface. It is essential that the surface is perfectly dry before laying.
Placement
For installation, use a type C2 flexible tile adhesive. As for its application, it must be uniform 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 uniform pressure.
Our pieces are treated at the factory with a high resistance acrylic protection, so no post-treatment is necessary.
It is possible that small natural discolorations may appear due to the humidity of the work. This type of discoloration will disappear 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 metallic spatulas or abrasive scouring pads.
Joints
The use of 1mm joints is our recommendation.
For grouting, use a specific product for 1 mm joints and of a color similar to that of 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 tile adhesive base without voids, for this purpose a mixed binder adhesive type C2S2 should be used.
Use type CG2 grout to install the tiles with 3 mm joints.
The temperature in contact with the tiles should not exceed 50ºC.
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.
