Gazzini Atelier | Italian Glazed Porcelain Tile
Atelier is a line with a classic soul redesigned for modern tastes. It has the look of limestone that is artfully fashioned to straddle the line between rustic and modern. Gazzini was inspired by the popular Tala limestone, and then they mixed in some subtle travertine graphics to add extra depth to the neutral palette. The edges are slightly chiseled, yet they are also rectified allowing for tighter grout joints. The surface structure has some texture without being overdone. The 16x16 size offers a square size sets the line apart by being something different, while at the same time it’s completely logical and appropriate for the look of the tile. This is a line with timeless, natural charm that will appeal to diverse tastes.

Usage & Installation
Atelier is suitable for residential applications.
To attain the proper mix of graphics and color it is important to pull from multiple boxes during installation, rotate pieces, and note the placement of the different images to get the proper final blend.
Most tile manufacturers recommend a maximum offset of 8” (20 cm) on all large format tiles when setting a running bond. Please refer to ANSI requirements for setting large format tiles, ANSI A 108.2 section 4.3.8. Using a leveling system can improve the installation of this product.
As noted in the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) the coefficient of friction varies considerably due to facts not under the control of entities such as the manufacturers and distributors. These factors include, but are not limited to, contaminants, slope of terrain, drainage conditions, adjacent surfaces, etc. Suitability for any installation can only be determined by a site examination of all conditions that could affect the slip resistance of the tile being installed. Continual cleaning and maintenance must be performed once the tile has been installed.
