Argenta Etienne | Porcelain Tile
Etienne is a rectified porcelain with an authentic French limestone look. The graphic variation includes a mix of different limestone finishes - aged and waxed - including some pieces that have oxidation marks caused by exposure to sun and rain. It should be noted that there is quite a bit of graphic variation in this line, including a significant percentage of pieces that have the characteristic fossils of the stone. It is important to blend the material well during installation, pulling from multiple cartons and laying out the pieces carefully to get the right blend. The final look is impactful and, at its competitive price point, this series is a true value.

Installation
Most Italian 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 help improve the installation of this product. 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.

The Coefficient of Friction is a general guide only. Testing may vary with different production runs and with different testing labs. 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.
