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 o�er you the best performance and durability upon condition that the

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

Cleaning during installation

In order to obtain the best results in terms of chromatic e�ect, pick tiles from di�erent boxes.

During installation, the �tter must report any imperfections of the supporting surface (steps or small di�erent 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 �tters 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.).

Hithick 20mm. Warnings for laying on raised �oors.

Wind and breakage warning

Outdoor pavings installed unglued above the ground level are subject to the action of the wind, with the risk, in some cases, of becoming airborne. The

manufacturer recommends to require the assistance of a quali�ed professional in order to check the suitability of the installation system above the

ground adopted, in accordance with the local laws and regulations and the conditions of use. Failure to do so could result in serious injury or property

damage. A ceramic slab installed on a raised pedestal system may fracture on impact if a heavy object is dropped onto it from a height, with a risk of injury

to anyone standing or walking on such slab. Failure to adhere to the manufacturer’s instructions for installation of slabs on raised pedestal systems may

result in serious injury. For further information and recommendations concerning the installation systems please refer to Ceramiche Marca Corona website

or to the 20mm catalogue �HiThick”.

Instructions for project engineers and customers

If the application of the 20 mm slabs foresees the ceramic product used in structural installations, the project engineer and/or customer must carefully

assess the project requirements with regard to the technical speci�cations of the slabs. To prevent the risk of damage or injury, the manufacturer

recommends�

— With regard to a raised �oor installation a ceramic slab may fracture on impact if a heavy object falls on it from any signi�cant height. Therefore the

manufacturer recommends to check the speci�c intended use before starting the installation and to follow table for raised installation provided below. In

certain conditions, reinforcing must be applied on the back of the slabs (Fiber-Mesh Plus) supplied and applied by the manufacturer�

— With reference to any dry installation system of �ooring above the ground level, the manufacturer recommends to comply with local regulations and

conditions of use with regard to wind-load, loadbearing, seismic events, etc.

Failure to comply with these recommendations may lead to improper use of the product and could cause serious damage or injury.

Important notice:

Before installation

Being a professional operator, the tile �tter, who �rst �sees” and �handles” the

tiles, must�

� report to the purchaser and project engineer any visible defects (see table

below) on the ceramic material�

Description

Tiles with dimensions (width/length) that are di�erent from those of tiles

belonging to the same lot (Caliber), and with deviations above the tolerance

ranges indicated in the technical data sheet.

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.

Tiles with sides that are not straight and that do not form a square (�trapezoid

e�ect”), with deviations above the tolerance ranges indicated in the technical

data sheet.

Tiles with a di�erent thickness with respect to the other tiles in the same box,

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

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

cracks resulting in immediate detachment of chips a�er tapping.

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

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

face appearing on the top face.

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

Tiles with tones that di�er in a substantial manner from the reference and/or

sample tile supplied to the customer.

Tiles within the same lot with di�erences in tone that do not comply with the

Exceptions

— A�er installation, Ceramiche Marca Corona will accept no complaints relating to visible defects.

— Follow a tiling pattern based on a speci�c installation technique (closed, minimal or open joint, parallel or diagonal installation, continuous or staggered

joints, etc.)� before proceeding with installation, the �tter 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 di�erences in tone are a typical characteristic of some ceramic products.

Ceramiche Marca Corona recommends installation with slabs o�set 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, �at 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.
