Installation rules

INSTALLATION

We manufacture a new type of product

The floor and wall tiles we offer are different from other tiles on account of their unique characteristics. Therefore, there are some rules. The concept is a combination of ceramic and hydraulic tiles.

RULES

Preparation

Place the pieces on a rigid surface. It is essential that the surface be completely dry before laying begins.

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.

The factory treatment of our pieces with a high-resistance acrylic protection means that no post-treatment is necessary.

It is possible that small natural discolourations may appear due to the humidity of the work. This type of discolouration 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 1.5 mm joints is our recommendation.

When it comes to grouting, it is essential to use a product specifically designed for 1.5 mm joints. The joints and tiles must be similar, which will help to create a harmonious and balanced aesthetic.

During the grouting process, make sure you clean the area 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. Our tiles 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.
  • Install the tiles with adhesive type C2S2.
  • Install the tiles with 3 mm joints and use type CG2 grout.
  • 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

We will not accept any claims for installed products that demonstrate that you have not followed the above installation rules and instructions.
