STATUARIO FREDDO THICKNESS 9MM - NEXION - ( - SOFT NATURALE II - 1198x598x mm - 48inchX24inchX0.36inch )

Premium Material & Quality: Made of high-grade dry-pressed ceramic slabs/tiles belonging to Group B1a with exceptionally low water absorption (average ≤ 0.08%, individual max 0.2%).

Exceptional Surface Durability: Certified with high surface abrasion resistance, achieving Class III (>750 cycles) for Full Lappato and Lappato Matt surfaces, and Class IV (>2100 cycles) for Satinato, Spazzolato, Naturale, and 3D Textures.

High Structural Strength: Delivers robust structural performance with a minimum Modulus of Rupture of 42 N/mm² and a high breaking strength of minimum 1800 N.

Superior Scratch Resistance: Surfaces offer extreme hardness, ranging from Mohs scale 4 (Full Lappato, Lappato Matt, Satinato, Spazzolato) up to Mohs scale 6–7 (Soft Naturale, Naturale, 3D Textures).

Excellent Thermal Performance: Engineered with a coefficient of linear thermal expansion maxing out at 6×10⁻⁶ K⁻¹, providing verified resistance to thermal shock and crazing.

Anti-Slip Safety Properties: Designed with premium safety slip resistance; Soft Naturale surfaces feature a Dynamic Coefficient of Friction (DCOF) > 0.41 (R-09 rating) and Naturale surfaces feature a DCOF > 0.51 (R-10 rating).

Chemical & Stain Resistance: Offers powerful defense against household stains (Class 4 to Class 5 rating), swimming pool salts (Minimum A rating), and domestic acids/alkalis (Minimum B rating).

Flawless Dimensional Precision: Rectified to Italian-accredited standards, guaranteeing strict straightness of sides (±0.1%), rectangularity (±0.1%), and a minimal moisture expansion rate of 0.02 mm/m.

Post-Installation Safeguarding: Cover the floor with a suitable protective material immediately after installation to safeguard the surfaces from scratches or damage during ongoing on-site processing.

Routine Cleaning: Clean regularly using warm water, soft cloths, and microfiber sponges; neutral, low-VOC pH-balanced detergents can be added to the water mix when necessary.

Avoid Film-Forming Agents: Refrain from using standard cleaning soaps, surface waxes, or optical rinse aids, as they create a dull patina that accumulates sticky residue and attracts dirt over time.

Prohibit Abrasive Tools: Never clean with metal pads, steel wool, rigid wire brushes, or highly abrasive scrubbing tools that can permanently scratch or compromise glossy/polished tile finishes.

Oil & Grease Removal: Eliminate stubborn grease or oil spots by applying specialized organic or alkaline solvent detergents (pH > 9), ensuring the tile surface is thoroughly rinsed with clean water afterward.

Prevent Surface Scratches: Place heavy-duty protective felt pads beneath all furniture legs and avoid dragging heavy equipment or sharp-edged objects directly across the tiled layout.

Grouting Best Practices: Lay tiles with a recommended 2 mm spacing joint using color-matched grouts; avoid high-contrast colored pigments that can cause severe bleeding or permanent stains in the tile micro-pores.

Initial Deep Wash: Complete a professional wash using a soft, non-abrasive single-brush machine or a wet vacuum between 4 to 10 days post-installation to properly strip away stubborn adhesive residues or grout haze.
