3D Relief
The 6x24 3D Relief is not modular with the 12x24.
The best final effect for the 6 x 24 3D Relief will be obtained by blending the material well, considering both the different molds and multiple graphics during the blending. Due to the special packing required for this special material, orders for the 6 x 24 3D Relief must be for full box quantities only.
Usage
Slate is suitable for walls and floors including residential and light to moderate commercial use.
Installation
It should be noted that there is a wide range of variation with many different graphics that are mixed and packed randomly. 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.
Please note: The 6 x 24 3D Relief has 4 different molds as well as the multiple inkjet faces. They are packed randomly which means that there may be duplicates within a box. It is important to consider both the molds and the graphics when blending the material during installation, making sure to avoid putting pieces with the same mold right next to each other and rotating the molds and images to get the right final look.
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.
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.
