Natural Series | SERAPOOL Porcelain

120 •The tile should be lightly tapped with a rubber mallet to ensure that the adhesion is firm and that the adhesive is fully spread and adhered to the back of the tile. •Rectified tiles should be protected against impact in order to prevent the edges of the tiles from skipping. •In large sizes, the rectification process is to eliminate size differences. Serapool Porselen has rectified product options for every size in its product range. •Size differences up to 1.2 millimeters in non-rectified (calibrated) products are within the standard. This difference is 0.4 mm in rectified products. •Considering the settlement and expansion of the floor over time, a gap of at least 1 cm should be left from the edges of the wall, and then the adhesion process should be performed. 8- Tile Application and Considerations: Porcelain tiles are durable and aesthetically elegant materials that are frequently preferred in pools. The 9-face porcelain tiles in the Serapool Porselen Natural Series are usually tiles with different patterns and colors, which increase visual diversity when combined. For this reason, there are some points to be considered when making an application. • Tile Placement: First, the surfaces and color tones of the tiles should be examined so that the tiles can be placed in harmony with each other, and the combination of tiles should be decided in order to place them in a suitable order. *The pool to be applied should be measured in advance, and where to start the application decided after the measurements of the area to be applied. *The application area must be clean. Care should be taken to ensure that the ground is flat, the surface to be applied should be leveled with the correct leveling screed beforehand. There should not be any pits. *The products to be laid should be laid on the floor and possible color differences and surface defects should be checked. When a faulty product is detected, the application should be stopped, the authorized person should be informed and waited. *Cracks and fractures of the tiles to be applied must be checked. *The first tile is placed starting from the corner or wall edge. It is recommended to lay the tiles in a randomly manner. For the joint gap between the tiles, a 3 mm gap should be left by using a plastic leveling joint plus and clip. (Piazza Series should be laid in a straight line, not in a randomly method). • Alignment: As the tiles are placed, a proper alignment should be ensured. The gaps between the tiles are important both aesthetically and functionally. • Tile Arrangement: Since each of the 9-surfaced porcelain tiles has a different surface, another point to be considered when laying the tiles is visual harmony. The same tiles should not come side by side, different surfaces should be combined to provide a visual richness. It is recommended to lay the surfaces of the tiles randomly. This gives a more natural look.
