Usage & Installation
Scultorea in Natural finish is suitable for residential and commercial applications. For the Polished finish, please see notes below.
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 Italian manufacturers recommend a maximum offset of 8” (20cm) 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. There are special setting requirements and materials for large format tiles. Please refer to the TCNA Handbook and guidelines by your mortar manufacturer for more information. Using a leveling system can improve the installation of this product.
Polished Finish
The Polished finish is suitable for walls and for residential and light commercial floors that do not require DCOF. As with all shiny material, the polished surface is susceptible to scratching during installation and use, and extra care should be taken when handling the material. The factory does not recommend using an epoxy based grout because it can be very hard to remove from the surface of the tile during grouting. They also do not recommend using a sealer on the polished tiles.
Polished material can be etched with acids. Avoid detergents, solvents or acid-based products containing hydrochloric acid, citric acid, acetic acid or abrasive components. Do not use cleaning agents like abrasive cleaners which might scratch the surface. It is advisable to test a small area in a not highly visible section of the tiles before proceeding to clean the whole surface.
