Mariner Theory | Italian Glazed Porcelain Tile
Mariner was inspired by Nature when creating their well-executed, porcelain reproduction of real travertine. They gave it an upgraded, elegant feel by softening the look and removing some of travertine’s less appealing imperfections. With three neutral colors in 12 x 24 and 24 x 24 in a rectified edge, this line will work well for customers seeking to create a harmonious, natural atmosphere. Theory is suitable for residential and light to moderate commercial applications.

Installation
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.
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.
