Marca Corona

Nella pulizia, limitare al massimo, e sempre con molta cautela l’uso di mezzi fortemente abrasivi soprattutto per piastrelle con superficie liscia

(soprattutto con finitura lucida e/o satinata) in quanto possono essere maggiormente esposte ad effetti visibili dovuti a graffi, opacizzazioni,

scalfitture,ecc.

Certi tipi di sporco (sabbia, ecc.) aumentano l’effetto abrasivo del traffico pedonale quindi bisogna mantenere la pavimentazione il più pulita

possibile prevenendo la presenza di questo sporco, trasportato generalmente dall’esterno, predisponendo dei dispositivi di assorbimento sporcizia ed

umidità (stuoini fissi oppure mobili in funzione della destinazione d’uso del locale) all’ingresso per tutta la larghezza dell’entrata.

Manutenzione straordinaria

Nel caso di tracce di sporco resistenti alla pulizia ordinaria, si raccomanda l’utilizzo di un detergente adeguato al tipo di sporco da rimuovere (

vedi tabella seguente).

Avvertenza:

Nel caso di decori ed inserti speciali, evitare l’uso di prodotti abrasivi che potrebbero danneggiare le superfici. Per i profili in alluminio

colorato e/o anodizzato, in fase di stuccatura

si consiglia di pulire immediatamente con una spugna e prodotti delicati per evitare che lo stucco si attacchi.

Installation, use, cleaning and maintenance manual

(1)

Marca Corona ceramics are the outcome of a production process that envisages the use of top quality raw materials, cutting-edge technology and

the maximum attention towards quality

The result is a product with a great aesthetic and technical prestige that can offer you the best performance and durability upon condition

that the following instructions for installation, use, cleaning and maintenance are followed..

INSTALLATION

Before installation

Being a professional operator, the tile fitter, who first “sees” and “handles” the tiles, must:

• report to the purchaser and project engineer any visible defects (see table below) on the ceramic material;

REASON

DESCRIPTION

EXCEPTIONS

Caliber

Tiles with dimensions (width/length) that are different from those of tiles belonging to the

same lot (Caliber), and with deviations above the tolerance ranges indicated in the technical

data sheet.

Flatness

Concave or convex tiles (corner curving), with corners curving up or down (warpage) and

with deviations above the tolerance ranges indicated in the technical data sheet.

Squareness - straightness

of sides

Tiles with sides that are not straight and that do not form a square (“trapezoid effect”),

with deviations above the tolerance ranges indicated in the technical data sheet.

Thickness

Tiles with a different thickness with respect to the other tiles in the same box, with

deviations above the tolerance ranges indicated in the technical data sheet.

Cracks

Tiles with cracks that are parallel to or at a right angle with the edges, or surface

cracks resulting in immediate detachment of chips after tapping.

Chipping

Tiles in boxes, which feature broken corners and/or edges.

Surface defects

Tiles with holes, pinholes, craters, bumps, contaminated bodies and tile bottom face

appearing on the top face.

Suction cup marks, which are only

visible for a few seconds in damp

conditions, are not deemed to be

tile defects since, during normal

conditions of use, they are not

visible.

Decorating defects

Tiles with screen-printing or glazing defects, drips, discontinuous decoration

Tiles outside the tone range

Tiles with tones that differ in a substantial manner from the reference and/or sample tile supplied to the customer.

Mixed tones

Tiles within the same lot with differences in tone that do not comply with the V-shade

shown in the catalogue.

Honing/polishing defects

Tiles with slightly discontinuous surfaces, abrasions, scratched and/or opaque edges, semi-

circular scratching on the surface.

* Attenzione: i prodotti a base acida possono corrodere marmo, granito, pietre naturali e metalli, pertanto evitarne l’uso nel caso di decori

o inserti realizzati con questi materiali.

PER IL LORO CORRETTO UTILIZZO ATTENERSI SCRUPOLOSAMENTE ALLE INDICAZIONI RIPORTATE SULL’ETICHETTA.

Important notice:

• After installation, Ceramiche Marca Corona will accept no complaints relating to visible defects.

• Follow a tiling pattern based on a specific installation technique (closed, minimal or open joint, parallel or diagonal installation,

continuous or staggered joints, etc.); before proceeding with installation, the fitter is recommended to show the end customer an example of

how the tiles will be installed (by placing them in accordance to the installation pattern “dry” and without using grout) and to ask for an

approval, preferably written.

Light differences in tone are a typical characteristic of some ceramic products.

Ceramiche Marca Corona recommends installation with slabs offset by

/ at the most and a grouting joint of at least 2.0 mm for single sizes and

2.0/3.0 mm for combined sizes.

• For outdoor installation, tiles must be installed with an open joint (at least 3.0 mm).

• Make sure that the supporting surface is perfectly cured, flat and thoroughly clean.

• We recommend the wet cutting or the score and snap method during the installation process. Do not dry cut using power tools during the

installation process. Improper installation techniques could expose installer to harmful silica dust.

Cleaning during installation

In order to obtain the best results in terms of chromatic effect, pick tiles from different boxes.

During installation, the fitter must report any imperfections of the supporting surface (steps or small different in level between adjacent

tiles, etc.) and ask for a written authorisation to proceed work from the end customer or the person in charge of the work site.

As far as is practicable, the end customer must ensure that the micro-climatic and lighting conditions of the work site allow fitters to

perform installation in a reliable manner and to check that materials and installation are as described above.

During the time running between conclusion of installation work and delivery to the end customer, ceramic tiling must be:

• kept clean from cement, sand, mortar and any material that could cause staining and/or mechanical surface abrasion;

• protected against damage and soiling due to the work performed by other workers at the site (painters, electricians, woodworkers, etc.).

Recommended adhesives

The use of a suitable adhesive is essential for installation. For the installation of ceramic tile, follow the indications of leading adhesive

manufacturers.

As a general rule, the most suitable adhesive is found by taking the following factors into account:

Type of support — Type and size of tile — Intended use (floors/walls - indoor/outdoor)

— Climatic conditions during installation —

Time needed to put tiling in conditions of use.

For extra large tiles installed at a height of over 3 metres, some international standards set forth the necessity to install with a system

featuring both adhesive and mechanical hooks to be chosen based on the weight of the tile, on the height of the paving and on work site

conditions.

Spreading adhesive and installation: precautions

Spread the adhesive on the bed using a suitably toothed trowel.

Exert sufficient pressure on the tiles to ensure wetting of at least 70% of the total tile surface.

When installing in interior commercial environments or outdoors, it is of the utmost importance to spread adhesive both on the tile face and

the support (double-spreading) so as to avoid gaps between the ceramic tile and the support.

Recommended grouts

It is important to use a grout that is suitable for the intended use of the tiling.

Follow the indications of leading grout manufacturers.

Warning:

Ceramiche Marca Corona may not be held liable for defective flooring caused by improper laying. We suggest keeping some spare tiles to use for

any repairs or product quality checks if required.

AVVERTENZA

I suggerimenti illustrati in precedenza sono frutto di ricerca, verifica in laboratorio ed esperienza pluriennale. Tuttavia le caratteristiche di

pulibilità dei materiali variano in modo significativo in base alle diverse modalità di installazione, condizioni d’uso, tipologie di superficie e

ambiente.

In linea generale, all’aumentare delle caratteristiche di antiscivolosità delle piastrelle aumentano le difficoltà di pulizia. L’operatore incaricato

dell’intervento di manutenzione e pulizia dovrà sempre procedere ad una preliminare verifica empirica (possibilmente su una porzione di materiale non

posato) per ogni singolo tipo di intervento. Resta inteso che Ceramiche Marca Corona non può essere ritenuta responsabile per eventi, danni o difetti

dovuti a condizioni d’utilizzo particolarmente gravose, ad errata installazione , negligente pulizia e manutenzione o inadeguata scelta della tipologia

dei materiali installati rispetto alla destinazione d’uso.
