Differences between porcelain stone and monocottura stoneware. Porcelainstone has stood out from any other products existing in the market because of its

extraordinary technical and aesthetic characteristics, namely:

High breaking strength

Minimum water absorption

Frost resistance

Resistance to chemical attack

High impact resistance

Stain resistance

Full body coloring

Differences between displays and material actually received by customer.Tiles on display show the material customer can expect. Pattern, shade and

movement can change as compared to displayed products.

Shade variation. In order to resemble natural stones, products have been

developed to show significant differences between tiles within the same shade lot.

The level of color shade variation is the parameter which shows the variation

which can be expected for a particular product. A scale from V1 to V4 is applied,

the first showing minimal differences among tiles and the latter random color

differences from tile to tile, so that one tile may have totally different colors fromthat on other tiles. A deep explanation on this subject can be read in the Color

Shade Variation Guide included hereinafter.

Frost Resistance. At present Ebaa hose . only manufactures porcelain stones and

therefore all our tiles can be installed outside, including areas subject to extreme

temperatures. It should be taken into accounts that as the trims have a high water

absorption they should not be installed outside.


115/172

Wear resistance. A scale called PEI which indicates the areas where a specialmodel can be installed considering the traffic, has been established for the glazed

products. This scale goes from 1 to 5 being the latter the strongest.

All the glazed porcelain stones manufactured by ebaa house show a 4 minimum

value which enables them to be installed in areas where traffic is intense.

Non-glazed porcelain stones are not included in this scale but they have a very

high resistance because of their great hardness and their full colored body.

Attention should be paid only to polished porcelain stones, avoiding abrasive

environments which may cause loss of shine.

Slip Resistance. series are suitable for exterior horizontal surfaces. Polished tiles

are not recommended for wet areas or areas where water may accumulate.

BEFORE INSTALLATION

Caliber. Ceramic tiles suffer important contractions during the firing process. Asthey are manufactured with natural raw materials such contractions are not

constant and tiles of different sizes are obtained. For this reason material is

divided into groups of established sizes which constitute the different calibers.

You may find in the corresponding Annex the tables indicating the sizes of each

caliber for each format.

If several models are to be combined it is very important to verify all of them

have the same caliber as otherwise problems shall arise during installation.

Rectified products have only one caliper and they are identified on the cartons

with the words single caliber, monocalibre, s/c, mc, or"..".


118/172

10

10

Shades. Just like with sizes, tiles also change in pattern, color and movement.

Such variations give rise to the different shades. With each new production runthere appear new shades which are identified on the cartons with two numbers and

two letters (i.e. 27AB). Such shades shall be similar to those obtained in previous

productions but they shall never be equal, therefore it is necessary to buy all the

material to be installed at the same moment and to make provisions for eventual

substitutions to be made in the future (in the event of repairs in piping which may

render floor breaking necessary).


119/172

11

11

Quality. Quality of material is printed on cartons with a 1 or PRI for firstchoice and a 2 or SEG for the second choice. The selection of material is

carried out in a visual way to determine its aesthetic aspect and in an electronic

way to verify its dimensions and flatness. International standards establish as

acceptable a percentage of defects up to 5 % in first choice materials.


120/172

12

12

Marks. During sorting, material is divided into different choices (first, second and

discard) and shades (majority, secondary and third). Such division is carried out by marking the tiles with crayons or stickers which are then detected by the

packing machine. For this reason it is possible to find first quality materials with

marks because they may have corresponded to a secondary or tertiary shade

(majority shade is not marked). In order to avoid doubts on this subject marks

have been identified as follows:

1 Choice1 Choice 1 Choice

Majority Shade Secondary Shade Tertiary Shade

2 Choice Discard


121/172

13

13

Control of information printed on cartons at the moment of receipt. The

above paragraphs state the importance of coincidence among grade, shade andcaliber information printed on the cartons. Such control must be carried out when

the material is received in order to avoid problems in future as no claims shall be

accepted if the material has been already installed. If problems are observed do

not accept the consignment and contact your supplier.

16

Grouts. It is advisable to use flexible materials which should be able to absorb the

expansion differences between your porcelain stone and the substrate. Due to the

micro porosity all materials have, it is possible that some grout materials,

especially the strongly colored ones, present cleaning problems which get worse

when there is a great contrast between the tiles and the grout. In order to avoid

these eventual stain ability problems we recommend to carry out tests by

applying the grout on a piece of the material and using colors which are similar to

those of the tiles. Before applying grout it is advisable to spread a thin wax coatover the surface of the tiles in order to make their cleaning easier. Wax should not

be spread on porcelain stones edges as it may render the adhesion of grout

difficult. As with adhesives it is convenient to consult grout manufacturers.


125/172

126/172

18

18

Back side glaze. Tiles have a white refractory glaze at the back side which is used

to avoid the adhesion of the tiles to kilns rollers during firing. Such glaze does

not represent any problem for installation.


127/172

DURING INSTALLATION

Mixing Effect. It is advisable to work at the same time with at least five cartons

of porcelain stone in order to reproduce the aesthetic effect which was aimed for

when the product was designed.

Previous Presentation. Installing procedures similar to those of natural stones

should be used in case of materials with color shade variations, i.e. to combine tile

by tile and verify the aesthetic effect. It is important to point out that shade marks

and the inscriptions on the back side of tiles do not suggest at all how the

installation has to be done. Tiles should be installed in accordance with the above

mentioned procedure. If anomalies are detected, installation should be stoppedimmediately and you should contact your supplier as no claims shall be accepted

if material is already installed.


128/172

20

20

Joint. Minimum joint recommended in each material carton should be respected,a 4 mm (1/4) grout is recommended for all glazed tiles, both rectified and non

rectified. For the technical porcelain, polished or unpolished, a minimum joint of

2 mm (1/8) is recommended to hide the small defects on the installation surface.

Your installer will know the proper procedure for the expansion joints. Joints

should be filled one by one never spreading the grout on the surface of the stone,

as this shall cause difficulties at cleaning, specially with series which have a

textured surface.


129/172

21

21

Cuts. Wet saws are generally used when cutting tiles. It should be taken into

account that when materials with beveled edges are cut the new edges shall not

have bevel. Eye protection should always be worn when cutting or drilling

porcelain tiles.

Drills. A diamond tip drill bit is used when drilling, one that is specifically

designed for cutting through ceramic tile, marble, granite, stone or other dense

materials using a drill with low speed. It is necessary to keep the tile and the drillpermanently lubricated.

Adhesive. Adhesives open time stated by the manufacturer should be carefully

respected as this is the main cause for the popping up of tiles. Depending on the

kind of adhesive it is necessary to wait for drying during a determined period (in

general 72 hours) before grouts is filled. Consult your adhesive supplier for this

information.


130/172

22

22

Inscriptions with markers. It is advisable to avoid the drawing of lines or

inscriptions with markers in the front side of non glazed porcelain stones, as it

may be difficult to clean. If necessary drawing shall be carried out on the back

side of tiles.


131/172

23

23

Boxes should be kept in good conditions. This is a fundamental requirement

which must be fulfilled in order to be able to attend to eventual claims.


132/172


133/172

25

25

Proper care during installation. In order to protect the surface of the tiles afterinstallation, we recommend to put a protective cover (paper, cartons) over the tiles

until the construction job is finished.


134/172

26

26

AFTER INSTALLATION

Initial Cleaning. All grout and construction dirt should be removed from the

surface of the tiles. In most cases, our tiles can be cleaned successfully by

scrubbing the installation with hot water and a neutral detergent. If the grout

material remains hydrochloric acid diluted at 10% or other products recommended

by the grout manufacturers may be used, but work should be done carefully as, in

general, this kind of products also affect grouts and marbles. Eye protection is

recommended.


135/172


136/172

28

28

Waxes. Waxes or top finishes are not recommended as they form a coating that

deteriorates the floor aspect and entraps dirt making it more difficult to clean. If

You wish to apply such products it is advisable to remove them from time to time

with the products marketed by the same companies.

Abrasives. It is specially recommended to avoid the use of abrasives for the

cleaning of polished porcelain stones. In order to keep their shine it is convenient

to keep them free from abrasive dirt, such as sand. In public places it is convenientto put carpets for scraping sand off shoes at the entrance in order to avoid the

carrying of abrasives from outside which may damage the surface of tiles.


137/172

29

29

Stain ability problems. All materials, of every and any nature (natural stone,marble, granite, wood, metal, and rubber, plastic, glazed and non-glazed ceramics)

present a superficial micro porosity. In Ebaa house products such micro porosity

is practically null, however polished porcelain stone is treated with a hydro

repellent sealer to minimize eventual stain ability problems. Customer may repeat

the procedure or apply the product over non-polished tiles mainly when the tiles

are used in areas that are prone to excusive spills, such as printers installations, or

when light in color tiles are installed with dark colored grout or vice versa.

A proper penetrating sealer which fills the pores making the tiles impervious to

surface staining should be used .Consult our technical department before carrying out

such application.


138/172

30

30

Resistance to chemical attack. Our tiles are resistant to strong acid and alkaline

products except for the hydrofluoric acid which attacks all kind of glass or glaze.

We specially recommend to avoid application of this acid or its salts and

derivatives.

SHADE VARIATION INDEX

Manufacturers have directed their development efforts to make ceramic tiles that

resemble natural stones and in many cases they have succeeded as it is difficult to

distinguish between ceramic tiles and natural stones.

So, it stands to reason that the more that ceramic tile looks like stone, the more it

acquires natural stone characteristics, such as color, texture and shade variations.

The situation given, it was necessary to inform customer about the grade of color

shade variation he could expect from the product he was buying and then the

American Ceramic Tile Distributors Association (CTDA) published the Color Shade

Variation Guide which includes a grading of materials for floors within the following

categories:

V1 = UNIFORM APPEARANCE: Differences among pieces of the same productionrun are minimal.


140/172

32

32

V2 = SLIGHT VARIATION: Clearly distinguishable differences in texture and/or

pattern within similar colors.

V3 = MODERATE VARIATION: While the colors present on a single piece of tile

will be indicative of the colors to be expected on the other tiles, the amount of colorson each piece may vary significantly. For example that little bit of color on one

piece may be the primary color on the next piece.

V4 = RANDOM VARIATION: Random color differences from tile to tile, so that one

tile may have totally different colors from that on the other tiles. Thus, the final

installation will be unique.
