STRUCTURE offers the possibility of cladding any space exterior and interior with a very different and unique aesthetic, without sacrificing good technical performance. The specific characteristics of STRUCTURA allow the material to be perfectly integrated into any environment, providing the possibility of easily and effectively creating walls, facades, floors, etc.

For any questions or additional information, we recommend you consult our sales department.

The substrate or lower zone must be suitable and previously prepared for the intended use of STRUCTURA porcelain tiles (whatever the format may be).

It is necessary to plan the installation of joints. Ceramic porcelain tiles are subjected to stresses caused by differential movements between the support and the material. All of this can cause loss of adhesion, buckling, and cracks, which can be avoided by incorporating joints between the tiles that prevent the transmission of system stresses.

In addition to this technical function, the placement board also performs an aesthetic function by providing a decorative texture effect that can be softened or emphasized through its width, coloring, and finish.

The use of placement or separation joints between pieces is totally necessary. Installation joints We recommend leaving 1.5 mm so that the aesthetic effect is appropriate. The use of expansion joints, especially in the case of large surfaces (every 16-32m2), the use of structural joints of the building or area to be covered, and the use of a perimeter separation at columns and walls. All of this to prevent stress from being transmitted through the system..

The adhesive and construction adhesive installation system is the most suitable for placing STRUCTURA pieces vertically, horizontally, indoors, outdoors, and at height.

It consists of gluing or double-gluing with an adhesive or structural adhesive of the STRUCTURA pieces that give us adhesion, elasticity, and durabilityFor this reason, we recommend a high-performance adhesive, very workable, and deformable, such as H40 GEL from Kerakoll.

It is recommended to always use an appropriate gasket, utilizing splints or spacers. (We recommend 1.5 mm for the aesthetic effect to be visually pleasing).On large surfaces, plan to use another type of joint, as previously described.

For tile joints, we recommend FUGABELLA ECO PORCELANA 0-5 or FUGABELLA COLOR, a low-permeability, flexible jointing compound with high color durability. In both cases, it is necessary to replace 50% of the clean kneading water with FUGAFLEX, a liquid latex that improves adhesion in thin joints and on slightly absorbent surfaces. que mejora la adherencia de la junta en espesores bajos y sobre soportes poco absorventes.

It is also recommended to use a flexible sealant compatible with ceramic tiles, Keralkoll COLOR SILICONE, which withstands the contractions and elongations that the product will undergo due to temperature variations.

Placement criteria must comply with the intended use of STRUCTURA porcelain.

Installation can be carried out using both improved cement-based adhesives (C2S2 class according to EN12004) and similar products. In the case of adhesive installation, the surface must be perfectly flat and prepared for proper porcelain tile anchoring.

Install the pieces by taking them from several boxes at once to mix and unify the general tone.

For the use of colored gaskets or sealants, we recommend strictly following the manufacturer's usage instructions.

In any case, special attention should always be paid when using sealants whose color contrasts with the product (light-colored products and dark-colored sealants such as black, blue, or red). In these cases, it is advisable to perform a test on a few pieces before installation.

We deny all responsibility for parts stained with colored joint compounds and/or sealants, if not applied correctly according to the manufacturer's recommendations in each situation.

It is essential to take a series of measures into account before proceeding with the jointing of STRUCTURA products to ensure a good final result. Allow sufficient time to pass to ensure proper adhesive curing, recommending a minimum of 24h to prevent damage to the porcelain later.

The joints will be cleaned in their entirety and depth uniformly to receive the grouting material. The application temperature will be between 5º and 30º, avoiding application in conditions of low humidity, rain, strong wind, or direct sunlight.

It is recommended to protect the STRUCTURA porcelain tile once it is perfectly clean and dry, using special plastics or PVCs to prevent damage to the floor during finishing works.
