Installation Notes
- INSTALLATION AND CARE ADVICE (RESINE / GRISAILLE / BOTANIC): Grisaille and Concrete Botanic decor are produced via a new technology enabling the manufacture of slabs with extremely fine decoration and patterning, in which every single piece has absolutely unique small graphic and colour details, also including minor flaws which replicate the outcomes usually produced by traditional hand-crafting methods. Unlike most other porcelain stoneware products, these materials are not fired at high temperatures. Due to their very distinctive technical characteristics, the following recommendations must always be complied with when using these slabs.
- Intended uses: Slabs may only be used for covering indoor walls.
- Installation: When handling, take great care to ensure that the slabs do not come into contact with abrasive materials, other slabs, worktops or tools which could damage them.
- Cutting slabs: Slabs must be cut from the back, scoring them with a cutter for stoneware. The blade must adhere to the slab throughout the cut.
- Grouting the installed surface: Before grouting, the surfaces of slabs should be protected with masking tape. When grouting, only use cement-based sealants and plastic trowels. When done, clean residues away before the grout sets, using hot water and a nonabrasive sponge to avoid damaging the surfaces of the slabs.
- Post-installation cleaning and care: The slabs should be cleaned the first time using water or neutral cleaners, with a soft sponge or microfibre cloth. Never use solvents or abrasive sponges, which might damage the surfaces of the slabs.
- Routine cleaning: For routine cleaning, use water or neutral cleaners with a soft sponge or microfibre cloth. Acid anti-limescale products may be used provided the surfaces of the slabs are rinsed with water immediately after their application. Finally, never use alcohol-based or other solvents, or abrasive sponges, as they may damage the surfaces of the slabs.
