RECOMMENDATIONS REGARDING THE PILING, THE WITHDRAWAL, THE CLEANING

Recommendations regarding ceramogranit

The long operation of the surface, coated by the tiles of ceramic granite, depends not only on the correct selection of material, but also on its qualitative piling.

The qualitative piling of ceramogranit includes:

1. the preparation of tightening device (strengthening, leveling off) or of other surfaces;
2. the selection of the pasting mixture and toweling in accordance with the recommendations of producer;
3. piling tile;
4. toweling seams;
5. surface cleaning.

Before beginning works become acquainted with the indices, indicated on the packing.

1. Date of production
2. last number of the year
3. the industrial number of the party
4. the name of series
5. color of series
6. sort((brinci – I sort, ikinci – II sort)
7. cod of tone
8. cod of personnel, responsible for quality

1. The surface of tightening device or walls, which they will cover by ceramic granite, must be ideal flat and dry. From it should be cleaned dust, remainders of old glue, oils, paint in order to ensure a good cohesion of tile with the surface. You remember that the ceramic granite possesses very low water absorption, in it practically no times, and therefore it requires from the pasting composition of higher adhesion, in other words, cohesion with the surface, than usual ceramic tile. Therefore for piling ceramogranit are used glues with the greatest quantity of polymeric additives and the adhesion not less than 28kg/sm

With the special carefulness it follows to avoid cavitations in the glue layer between the tile and the tightening device in the accommodations with the increased loads on the floor, on the storages or in the large supermarkets. Under the action of the concentrated load in these places, the tile can crack. The method of the dual smearing, when the layer of glue is applied not only to the floor, but also to the tile, solves problem. The tiles of large size similarly are plotted. For the revetment by the ceramic granite of external surfaces the frost-resistant pasting compositions with the plasticizer additives and the special trowel lings, which will ensure the air tightness of coating, are necessary. The selection of ceramogranit for the revetment of floor in the store requires understanding the functional specific character of commercial accommodation and ceramogranit itself. The chief characteristic of such objects this is the high possibility of people.

Consequently, it ceramogranit it must be resistant to the abrasion, the pollution and to possess the increased strength. These requirements it satisfies it [ceramogranit] from the entire range of contemporary facing materials. The technology of the production of ceramogranit makes it possible to obtain similar it ceramogranit, which is considerably more durable than the usual ceramic tile, it does not fear temperature differentials and it is immune to the action of moisture. Furthermore, it ceramogranit extraordinarily it is diverse in the color and the invoice, which makes it ceramogranit by attractive material for the design of interiors. For the device of floor in the store usually are used the following forms of ceramogranit: lusterless ceramogranit - it is intended for the revetment of the internal and external surfaces of accommodations; that polished ceramogranit - it adapts for the edging of walls, designation of the functional zones and other forms of decorative finishing, and also for giving to accommodation “rich” contemporary interior. As the outdoor coating inside the store is allowed the use of glazed ceramogranit.

However, it is necessary to remember that the glaze in ceramogranita can it is erased under the action of the sand, which possesses abrasive properties. The erasure of glaze in no way is reflected in “working” properties of ceramogranit, but here exterior view suffers. Therefore this ceramogranit it is possible to use with a sufficient hardness of glaze. The specialists of our company can accurately determine, what concrete ceramogranit it is suitable for the revetment of commercial area, but what it ceramogranit it does not be suitable. For the revetments of stairs indoors are let out special facing elements - step from ceramogranit with the rolled-in leading edge and the special incisions, which prevent slip. - One should use lusterless or anti-skidding (with the expressed relief surface) it ceramogranit for the revetment of the outer zones of store - entrance ramp, porch, input area.

Buying it ceramogranit, one ought not to disregard one additional rule, the purchased quantity of ceramogranit must to 7-10% exceed calculated. This is done taking into account the withdrawals of cutting, battle with the transport of ceramogranit and other dontbeforeseeing circumstances. To plot ceramogranit necessarily to the thoroughly prepared base of future floor - flat, durable, not having on itself dust, sand or other free particles, which decrease adhesion? The leveling cement tightening device must dry well (not less than 28 days). The residual humidity of this base does not, as a rule, exceed 2%, but the humidity of anhydrite bases - 0,5%. The strength of coating ceramogranit is checked by putting the scratches, which are intersected at angle approximately into 60 degrees. After the formation of scratches it is necessary for the dry.

Сan be porcelain tile stowed in pools? As usually the tiles apply for pools on the basis of mass gres which has zero water absorption.

2. Work on piling of ceramogranit indoors is accomplished in the following order. After the preparation of base for ceramogranit, they take up the marking. For this on the middle of floor by the stretched cord they designate the central centerline of accommodation. It must be parallel to longer walls. Piling ceramogranit is produced to the right and to the left from the axial so that on the axis of accommodation they would fall either the joint of two tiles or the middle of entire tile. In the passages between the accommodations the joints are done along one line, which passes of one accommodation to another. It ceramogranit in practice it does not absorb moisture - therefore for its piling cement mortar cannot be used as the basis.

For the installation of granitogress adapt special mixed glues, into composition of which enter acrylic or latex bonding agents and dry cement-sand mixture. Glue for ceramogranit is characterized by the high level of adhesion (cohesion with the material), the elasticity, thermo- and by frost resistance, by resistance to impacts. For piling the large tile (46kh46 cm and larger) is used special glue for the large-format plates. There are also separate forms of mixed glues, intended for the accommodations with the high possibility, with the wide fluctuations in temperature and so forth. The surface of floor undergoes large mechanical loads and temperature and humidity fluctuations; therefore the semi-fluid pasting solution will only partially shut small unevenness’s under the tile of ceramogranit In order to eliminate large surface defects, it is necessary to use the leveling mixtures. It is important so that under the tile there would be no voids.

Selecting the dry pasting mixture, it is necessary to remember that it ceramogranit it possesses low adhesive properties. Separated to the necessary consistency, well mixed pasting solution for ceramogranit pours out to the base and is leveled out by first smooth spatula, retaining it at angle of 40-60 to the surface. Then glue is evenly spread by toothed spatula, forming fissures, the parallel sides of tile. The size of the teeth of spatula depends on the dimensions of tile. For piling the tile of 300 kh 300 it is better to use a comb with the size of the teeth of 8-10 mm.

3. Tile is plotted to the edge and is abutted against the edge of adjacent tile. After which entire plane of tile descends to the pasting solution. The packed tile of ceramogranit they slightly move aside from the adjacent, following the fact so that the clearance between them would not be filled up with glue. Special “small crosses” help to maintain equal gaps along the entire plane of floor only in the absence in the facing elements of the visible deviations in the sizes. Otherwise it is necessary to be entrusted to its own eye. Piling ceramogranit tile should be produced taking into account calibration - the permissible difference between the size of tile, declared on the packing, and actual. The reason for such fluctuations - change, by which undergoes the initial ceramic mass, becoming narrow and being enlarged in the kiln or “being seated” under the press.

There is a united scale of calibers of ceramogranit tile. To one and the same caliber carries the tile, divergences in size of which comprise not more than ±0,5 mm. With the piling are recommended the using of the tile only of “adjacent” calibers - for example, 0,3 and 0,4 or 0.5 and 0.6, otherwise difference will be too noticeable. Fluctuations in the limits of adjacent calibers are compensated due to the mezhplitochnykh seams in the process of manufacture of ceramogranit it is possible to appear difference, in the key of different parties, what is the natural moment of production. The tone of tile is allowed, it is insignificantly darker or lighter that declared in the catalog. In our case 5 keys in the limits of one position A, B, C, D, E are permitted. If on the specific circumstances in the tile of that acquired by you, proved to be the raznotonnye plates, then with the installation one should evenly distribute over the surface material from the adjacent parties, and not plot first one, and then another. In the latter case passage from one tone to another can be too sharp.

Optimum temperature conditions for the installation of ceramogranit (+ 5; +30°) s. After the completion of works the coated surface one should protect from the mechanical loads 2-4 days. After the completion of piling should be removed from the surface of tile the remainders of glue and toweling and also any other building materials, without allowing their drying. For cleaning of ceramogranit adapt special purifiers on the acidic basis.

4.After finishing piling ceramogranit, it is possible to take up toweling of seams. Before beginning this operation it is necessary to be convinced of the fact that the pasting solution collected strength. The otherwise unhardened glue, extruded by tile, will fill the mezhplitochnyy clearance, which will not be able to hold toweling in itself. It should not be plotted it ceramogranit without the pointing of seams, which can under certain conditions (for example, sediment of new house, earthquake), lead to inflation and collapse of tile. Seam must be not less than 3[mm].

For averting of splitting and pollution of seams will help it is used special toweling. In composition it is similar to the glue bases, but additionally contains the pigmenting element, which makes it possible “to disguise” seams under the color of ceramogranita. Acquiring rubbing mixture for ceramogranita] one should remember about the fact that it is selected depending on the width of the clearance of ceramogranita. As far as color is concerned, for the floor it is better to use trowel lings of gray tones, since brighter rapidly are soiled. The rubbing solution, separated by water to the necessary consistency, is ground over the coated surface with the aid of the rubber spatula. After uniform filling of all grooves the surpluses of toweling are moved away by special spatula with the stuck sponge.

Then the floor of ceramogranit they strew by the thin layer of dry toweling and again grind it over the surface. This is done for the removal of the surpluses of moisture. After performing this operation, finished floor from ceramogranita is thoroughly rubbed by the sponge, moistened by pure water. In this case the water must not wash out rubbing solution from the clearances. Of slots at the joint of walls with the floor, and it is also around the conclusion standing it should be filled with silicone sealing compounds. Correctly selected and packed ceramogranit - these are not only reliable and long-lived floor, but also the significant element of contemporary interior, which organizes its three-dimensional medium.

5. Recommended means on the withdrawal and the cleaning.

The glassed porcelain tiles, recommended washed by acid solution in the period from the first month of exploitation, as for in micro voids truncated surface will be cluttered dirty and tiles can be tarnished. As only your porcelain tails don’t have contamination in exploitation process, producers and and assemblage specialists this tails recommended, besides dirty clean, one time in the year process the tiles by special cleaning solution. Than to cover the surface of the tiles protective solution. To conduct sample should be small tiles of the tiles, which will be subsequently subjected to treatment.

Cleaning agents on the alkaline basis - universal cleaning agents.

Solvent - intended for the dilution of nitro enamels, automobile enamels, varnishes and puttying.

Acids - recommended means on the basis of acids for the removal of strong pollution, a strict limitation in the application of a hydrofluoric (hydrofluoric) acid HF, T. k. it enters into reaction with the glass (it ceramogranit material vitrified).

Use means for the withdrawal, having preliminarily become acquainted with the instruction on the application.
