RAW MATERIAL The porcelain tiles process starts by selecting the raw materials required for the body composition of various tiles, which are mainly clays, feldspars, alumina, zirconium, silica sands and kaolins. Porcellan uses fine and natural raw materials imported from many countries around the world including Spain, Iran, Egypt, etc . The mixture of raw materials is crushed and then moulded into the required shapes through special shaping processes, and finally fired in kilns at extremely high temperatures.

MILING & GRANULATION The batched raw materials go into ball mills for grinding, mixing and transforming the ingredients into liquid-like refined granules technically known as “body slip”. To complete this process effectivel y, Porcellan utilizes advanced ball mills from a leader in supplying all production equipments for the tiles industry, SACMI.

SPRAY DRYING Most of the water contained in the resulting “body slip” is removed by spray drying to form a powder with low moisture content.

CROMA PRESS FEEDING The CROMA press feeding unit is an advanced technology from LB company for the production of porcelain tiles with high aesthetic values. The four CROMA machines at Porcellan make it possible to produce a wide range of technical tiles with “veined” and varied color effects. In case of glazed products, after spray drying, is pressing and formation

PRESSING & FORMATION The resulting powder is collected in huge silos before it goes to the SACMI pressers, PH-3800 or PH-6200, to be transformed to the desired body size and shape. The pressing stage is controlled and regulated by proportional valves, which ensure maximum pressing precision and repeatability over time without any variation in the tiles. The pressers have high compaction force, high productivity, easy adjustment and consistency in holding the pressing cycle schedule. In addition, the machines are eco-friendly because the consumption level is reduced to the minimum by eliminating energy use during stops. All SACMI branded pressers at Porcellan have an operating pressure of 3,800 tons or 6,200 tons. This allows the production of various tile sizes ranging from 30x30 cm to 100x100 cm.

GLAZING Glazing involves applying one or more coats of silica sand which gives a high-gloss finish and makes the surface very hard, smooth and slip resistant. Tile glazing is mostly used for residential units since it seals out water, is easy to clean, protects the tile from wear and tear and extends the life of the surface.

FIRING Firing is a crucial stage within the whole production process. During this stage, the texture of the tile will be adjusted providing the body with strength, size stability, and resistance to chemical agents. At Porcellan, a state-of-the-art Sacmi kilns, with a total length of 218.4 meters, are used for firing. Recycled and natural gas is used to supply kilns with heat that is then transmitted to the tile body through radiation.

POLISHING Porcellan has six polishing lines that provide glazed and technical polished products with a mirror-like soft and brilliant surface. In case of matt products, polishing is not required.

RECTIFICATION Porcellan has eight squaring lines to deliver products with squared edges and size uniformity. Rectified tiles must be installed with minimum 2mm grout lines.

SORTING All tiles with surface defect and variation in shade will be eliminated. There are nine advanced sorting lines at Porcellan to automatically check each tile separately and ensure the quality of the products.

PACKING Tiles are wrapped rigidly with a thick cartoon box around their perimeter to ensure it is safely delivered to the customers.

Laying is fundamental for an excellent result. It is absolutely necessary to ensure that all operations are carried out with accuracy by skilled professionals, creating floor and wall coverings capable of lasting for many years. We would like to mention here some points concerning the application of porcelain wall and floor tiles.

PRELIMINARY OPERATIONS It is important to check that you have sufficient materials to complete the job. Moreover, it is a good thing to have one or two boxes for cut tiles and for accidental breakages and one or two boxes for the owner to keep, so that the owner can resolve any need that may arise in the future. The boxes must be stacked no higher than 4 by 4 to avoid the risk of breaking tiles. You always have to check the materials before laying. Inspect them to ensure that there are no visible defects. Then dry lay a couple of square metres of tiles to check and reconfirm the overall effect. Prior to laying tiles, the surface to be covered should be examined to ensure a stable base: it must be level, dry, smooth and clean. If the surfaces are not absolutely vertical/horizontal, you must get a stone mason to correct all of the irregularities.

LAYING For a better result, take tiles from different boxes alternately to avoid any slight differences in tone and size becoming very ev ident. After choosing the most appropriate adhesive and preparing it properly following the manufacturer’s instructions, spread the adhesive on the ground by using a straight-edged spatula and then comb it with the toothed side. For larger than 30x30 cm formats, floors subject to heavy pedestrian traffic and external uses, it is advisable to use the “double-glued technique” that means distribute the fixing material on the ground and put a fine cover on the back side of the tile. This practice prevents the creation of voids that could lead to breakage. Joints allow the floor - (wall-) system to settle and adapt to technical-structural variations in the building, and for this reason small joints are suggested also for rectified tiles.

The choice of the type of joint space depends on several elements, that are: (1) the place where the tiles are to be fitted - indoors or outdoors; (2) tile size; (3) desired width – floor tile  joint spaces are normally wider than wall joint spaces; (4) joint colour – this can be the same colour as the tiles or can be different to have a contrasting effect; (5) type of joint finishing – smooth, rustic, flat or concave. The choice of the type of joint space depends on several elements, that are: (1) the place where the tiles are to be fitted - indoors or outdoors; (2) tile size; (3) desired width – floor tile  joint spaces are normally wider than wall joint spaces; (4) joint colour – this can be the same colour as the tiles or can be different to have a contrasting effect; (5) type of joint finishing – smooth, rustic, flat or concave. In order to ensure that the joints are well aligned, the tiles should be fitted with the help of cross guides (there are several types of cross guides that can be removed and re-used) and/ or wedges. Regarding laying outdoor, in addition, individual national laws may require specific characteristics (eg. anti-slip properties): select between collections materials which comply with the relevant regulations for the specific case. Finally, to check that tiles have been well fitted, make a sound test. If a tile is tapped and a hollow sound is heard, this means that this tile is not correctly fitted and the adhesive was not spread out properly. When laying the tile, it is preferable to use adhesive instead of cement.

GROUTING THE JOINTS  Joints must be grouted at least 24-48 hours after the tiles are laid. The joints must be completely clean throughout their entire body. The underside and edges of the tile must be accurately soaked. The grouting must be performed with grouts from reputed manufacturers available in the market. The joints are normally grouted with rubber spatulas, letting the g rout penetrate the depths. Rectified tiles must be installed with minimum 2mm grout lines. Everything is left to dry. When the sealant starts to take hold, the excess should then be removed with a wet sponge.It is recommended not to use sand or sawdust that digs into and removes the grout that is still fresh from the joints.

FINAL CLEANING OF THE FLOOR AFTER LAYING After installation, residues of mortar, cement, grout or adhesives, often not visible to the naked eye, are always left on the floor. These materials make the floor less attractive and may trap dust and dirt. About 36-48 hours after grouting is finished, the cleaning must be carried out using a descaling detergent in accordance accordanc e with the manufacturer’ manufacturer’ss instructions. Generally the detergent, diluted in water, must be applied to clean areas of a few square metres at a time, after which each area should be abundantly rinsed and then dried.

The quality of porcelain tile’s tile’s covering depends not only on good design and correct laying, but also on the care that will be addressed to the surfaces. In order to highlight the aesthetic features of the materials and ensure that the surface maintains its original beauty, we recommend you to observe some basic precautions as regards maintenance, cleaning and protection.

DURING BUILDING WORK Once the tiles have been installed it will be necessary to provide adequate protection against against possible damages during subsequent work, covering them with cardboard, thick plastic or a layer of sawdust.

FIRST CLEANING The most important cleaning operation has to be performed immediately after the tiles have been set and before the floor is used.It is essential to clean the tiles accurately the first time in order to highlight their aesthetic characteristics and guarantee that they are easy to clean and stain resistant. If a surface layer of grout remains on the tiles, the floor will tend to get dirty more quickly. In this phase, it is advisable to apply an acid-based detergent to small surfaces as per the concentration recommended recommended by the manufacturer.Then manufacturer.Then let it soak for a few minutes before removing it with a rough cloth. It is necessary and essential to rinse the surface with plenty of clean water.Before water.Before proceeding with this type of acti vity, it is advisable to carry out a resistance test on a small surface area of the material so as to not damage the entire surface. To prevent the acid-based product from corroding the cement-based joint filler, wet the floor prior to cleaning so that the joints are impregnated and thus protected from the corrosive action of the acid. If the first cleaning is performed after the floor has been used, before applying the acidbased product it is advisable to remove any greasy or similar substances using right cleaning products.

ORDINARY CLEANING Customary cleaning eliminates dirt, marks or f ootprints and reinforces the protective layer in case of wear.Surfaces should be cleaned with proper detergents that do not affect surfaces and glazes. It is therefore appropriate to avoid using acid based or aggressive cleaners. Grès porcellanato is a very tough material with particularly high resistance to chemicals and frost. It is also waterproof and it does not retain stains of any type. For everyday cleaning, it is sufficient to wash the floor with water and detergents for ceramic surfaces. The use of warm water helps to increase the cleaning process efficiently.Nevertheless, persistent stains that are difficult to remove with normal cleaning may be eliminated with the appropriate appropriat e use of stronger and more concentrated cleaning products, products, capable of removing heavier dirt and restoring the original appearance appearance of the tiles. It is very important to identify the type of stain and use the suitable cleaner, so it is advisable to chose the appropriate detergent reading the label with attention. Grès porcellanato is resistant to all chemicals, with the exception of h ydrofluoric acid, which is harmful to all ceramic products. It is appropriate to avoid rubbing surfaces with abrasive materials such as metal pads or hard brushes that can scratch or leave marks on the surface. Grès porcellanato may undergo an industrial polishing process that produces the “polished” type, which has a mirror finish. Unlike the “natural” (i.e. unpolished) material, it presents some stainability problems: the polishing process, in fact, opens the pores of the porcelain stoneware, making it easier for dirt to penetrate. In addition, polished surfaces suffer with the passage of time a process of opacification. So, So, it is important to distinguish between cleaning and protection for “polished” and for “natural” material. For commercial and heavily used surface areas such as airports, hospitals, supermarkets and any public spaces which are subject to considerable soiling, it is necessary to use automatic cleaning machines with suction of the washing liquids. This allows not only deep cleaning but also the continuous removal of liquids containing substances substances that cause soiling.

EXTRA ORDINARY CARE PROCEDURE When the original treatment has been heavily damaged or is very old, or if treatment care procedures have not been carried out correctly, it is necessary to perform an exceptional care procedure. In these cases, old treatments or old layer of care wax have to be removed and then restored. Before using the appropriate product for this operation, it is advisable to perform a test on a small part of the surface.

ORDINARY CLEANING

PROTECTION The aim of the preservation process is to raise a barrier to prevent the floor from becoming dirty and enhance the material’s appearance. However, However, to preserve the genuine beauty of the floor as long as possible, it is advisable to protect the entrance to the room, especially if it is in direct contact with outdoor area, using a doormat that will as much as possible hold back dust or other abrasive substances. Ultimately, particular care should be given to the maintenance of joints, which are more delicate and absorbing than the tiles themselves. For this reason, we suggest to cover the area around the sink in kitchens or in bathrooms with special grouts able to protect joints and increase their waterproof properties. In case coloured joint fillers are used in floor tiles, light colours are not recommended for entrance areas or kitchen floors because they get dirty easily.

SUPERFICIAL FINISHINGS

GLAZED PORCELAIN Glazed porcelain tiles have a layer of colored glaze which is applied on the tile surface during the manufacturing process. These tiles are resistant to stains and water, easy to clean and hard-wearing, making them good for kitchen counter tops, bathrooms, living rooms and hightraffic residential areas.

NATURAL An extremely compact crystallized surf ace obtained using an innovative production technique that makes it possible to obtain an unglazed product devoid of porosity, with passing veins and without the application of vitrified or crystalline glaze.

TECHNICAL PORCELAIN Technical porcelain tiles have exceptional technical characteristics since they are crafted using best quality clays and a full body color. They are ideal for buildings, villas, shopping centers, retail shops, hotels, and many other commercial and residential applications. SOLUBLE SALTS Contain aquatic compounds of inorganic salts that are applied on the surface of the tile. DOUBLE CHARGE SALT & PEPPER Produced utilizing a dosing system technology that mixes various color pigments with the body slip resulting in a dot-like appearance. These models are commonly used for industrial and high-traffic areas. CHROMA Designed using the Chroma machine from LB, these full-body tiles have exceptional veined and varied color effects. UNICOLOR Have the same technical features as soluble salts however these models are full-body single colored.

MATT Opaque surface, not reflecting; on glazed tiles it is due to a special composition that absorbs the light creating surfaces without reflections. LAPPATO Particularly soft to touch surface of relative brilliance, obtained by a mechanical action that does not remove material in a homogeneous way, but only acts on certain areas, to create partially polished zones. POLISHED The natural porcelain-body product is subject to the action of polishing springs that remove part of the surface to make it perfectly glossy and reflective. This finishing exalts the aesthetic characteristics of the material by increasing the brilliance and elegance, out-beating the shine of natural marble. GLOSSY Through the application of glazes to the ceramic support before firing, we get very reflective and shiny surfaces, until obtaining almost a “mirror effect”. This type of processing allows us to offer our customers high-value products that can equal Porcelain finishing.

PEI (PORCELAIN ENAMEL INSTITUTE) ABRASION RESISTANCE PERFORMANCE R SLIP RESITANCE In its simplest sense, a slip resistant surface is one that allows a person to walk across it without the risk of slipping. The slip resistance coefficients indicated by “R” values refer to the German standard DIN 51130, which classifies products according to end-use requirements, shown in ascending order of risk, with particular reference to industrial and commercial environments. The values range from R9 for materials that pass the first level of the test, to R13 for materials recommended for industrial use in particular.

R9 = person slips between 6-10° angle of elevation. Low static friction.

The durability of a tile’s glaze can be measured, subjectively, by observing the visible surface of the tile when subjected to this test. Usually an abrasive pad is ground against the tile for a period of time. The amount of damage done to the glaze is recorded and assigned a PEI rating of #1-#5. CLASS 1: Generally not recommended for use on floors. CLASS 2: Residential floor coverings in areas subject to soft-soled to normal footwear traffic with no scratching dirt. Domestic bathroom and bedrooms without exterior access. (Light traffic) CLASS 3: Residential floor coverings in areas subject to soft-soled to normal footwear traffic with small amounts of scratching dirt. Rooms in living areas of homes except kitchens, entrances, and other areas that may be subject to high traffic. (Medium traffic) CLASS 4: Residential or light commercial floor coverings in areas subject to soft-soled to normal footwear. Halls, kitchens, entryways. (Medium-High traffic) CLASS 5: Commercial or residential floor coverings in areas subject to high traffic and scratching dirt. Malls, hotels, airports. (Heavy traffic)

AESTHETICS R10 = person slips between 10-19° angle of elevation. Normal static friction. SHADE VARIATION Variations in size, colour, texture, and pattern should be expected. This distinguishing characteristics of tile is a source of its natural beauty. R11 = person slips between 19-27° angle of elevation. Increased static friction.

R12 = person slips between 27-35° angle of elevation. High static friction.

R13 = person slips more than 35° angle of elevation. Very high static friction.

V1 = UNIFORM APPEARANCE Minimal differences among pieces from the same production run. V2 = SLIGHT VARIATION Slight difference in texture and/or pattern among similar colours. V3 = MODERATE APPEARANCE Light to moderate shade and texture variation among pieces from the same carton. While the same colours are found on all tiles, the quantity of a particular colour on each piece may vary significantly. V4 = RANDOM VARIATION Very high shade and texture variation among pieces from the same carton, random colour differences from tile to tile. One tile may have totally different colour from those of another tile.
