Glaze Color Finishes: Gloss [G], Engobe Glaze (Gloss) [E], Matte [M], and Satin [S]. 1. Color Variation: Glazes are rated V1 to V4 to indicate potential amount of variation that may occur. We recommend samples for V3 & V4 glazes. 2. Crazing & Crackle: Certain tiles may craze over time; small surface cracks may develop that may lead to discoloration. Recycled Red Clay Body crackled glazes must be sealed to prevent mildew. 3. Acid Sensitive: V23 glaze colors marked â&#x20AC;&#x153;yesâ&#x20AC;? are acid sensitive. We do not recommend these glazes for countertops, pools, or bathrooms. Acids may cause discoloration. 4. Flooring: Generally gloss glaze colors are not recommended for flooring. Glazes with abrasive grit are available for certain flooring projects. 5. White Engobe: Engobed and non-engobed glazes can not be mixed together for Cuerda Seca or Raised multi-color decoratives. 6. Recycled Red Clay Body tile cannot be mixed with White Clay Body tile in the same installation. 7. Frost-resistant but not frost-proof. 8. * denotes a glaze in the Foundations Price Group.

INSTALLATION GUIDE

2016

RECYCLED & WHITE TILE INSTALLATION Note to Homeowners

SETTING

We always encourage a professional to perform your installation to ensure the longevity of your tile. If you’re confident in your DIY skills, go for it! But when in doubt, don’t hesitate to contact your Design Consultant if you have any questions along the way. Please keep in mind that this guide is simply an overview of installation suggestions and precautions. It should not be treated as a step-by-step installation guide. When handling installation materials, always closely follow manufacturer’s instructions for best results.

• The appropriate setting should be determined on a case-by-case basis. Consult with your installer, contractor, or architect.

Prior to making your order, make sure your application suits the tile body or glaze for wet or outdoor areas. For wet areas such as a pools, kitchens, or bathrooms, be sure the glaze is suitable and acid resistant (see our Tile Spec Sheet for a detailed list of each glaze’s acid sensitivity). Also keep in mind that our ceramic tiles are frost resistant, but not frost proof.

• We recommend a grout release to ease cleaning after installation and to prevent staining from dark colored grout. • Dark grouts with pigments can stain the tile and if preferred, should be pretested for staining. • A grout release on all unglazed tile installation is necessary.

INSTALLATION PREP

SPACING

Given the handmade nature of our tile, there will be some color, size, and thickness variation. Typical grout spacing is 3/16” for non-rectified tile, and 1/8” for rectified. Size variation is accentuated by grout spacing. Carefully consider grout spacing prior to installation. Be sure to lay out tiles and pull from different boxes to achieve the best overall blend of color. Once installed, claims regarding the color will not be honored.

Recommended Tools: - Tile Spacers

GROUT Recommended Tools: - Sanded grout with a 3/16” grout joint (1⁄4” for 12” modules) - Grout haze removal: Equal parts water and vinegar solution + a soft rag OR manufactured grout haze removing cleaner

• Tighter grout joints will require a professional. If the grout line is too tight the tile could chip at stress points while the grout dries.

CARE Recommended Tools: - Everyday cleaning: Mild dishwashing soap and water + clean rag or mop OR any cleaning product specified for tile

CUTTING/DRILLING Recommended Tools: - Diamond Blade Wet Tile Saw for cutting - Diamond Bit with Water for drilling

• A new tile blade will make a cleaner cut than an overused blade. • Stone or sand edges after cutting. • Use cut edges against the outside walls or ceiling where they are hidden. • Make sure the faucet flange covers any chipping on the edges of the cutout. • Dry tiles after cutting before applying silicone.

• For any cleaning product, test a small amount on your tile to make sure it doesn’t affect the glaze. • Use cleaning products that don’t contain phosphoric acid. Avoid cleansers that contain acids such as vinegar or lemon juice. • Immediately clean any spills or stains.

COLOR INFORMATION • Available in over 100 beautiful, finely crafted glaze colors. All glazes are designed and hand-mixed using all natural, lead-free ingredients. Natural variation is inherent in glaze color, texture and finish depending on the specific color. Individual color variation is graded V1 (least) to V4 (most). Colors are available in either a gloss or matte finish. Note: Please see Color Guide for the full list of colors and finishes. Finishes are not interchangeable. Glazes with abrasive grit are available for certain flooring projects. • Sizing ranges from 1x1" up to 12x12". Field tile is extruded, and tile size variance from 1⁄16" to 1⁄8" can be expected. If designing a specific pattern please call to understand if tile will be modular.

LEAD TIMES • Made-to-order in 4 weeks. • Custom projects may take 6–8 weeks, please call a ceramicist to discuss your project. • Rush orders are available, or consider the Express Series available in 1 week.

• V23 packs materials in recycled cardboard boxes and on recycled pallets or crates. We use recycled sawdust, biodegradable peanuts, or other recycled materials for protection. • The Recycled clay body may qualify for MR 4.1/4.2: Recycled Content (1–2 points), MR 5.1/5.2: Regional Materials (2 points), EQ 4.2: LowEmitting Materials (1 point). • Over 70% of the Recycled clay body tile is made from recycled products including post-consumer recycled porcelain and glass, pre-consumer recycled granite dust. In addition, V23 recycled our own tile and glaze waste and re-incorporates it into the recycled body. In addition, almost all materials are locally sourced and glaze materials are 100% lead free.

CONSIDERATIONS • Frost-resistant but not frost proof. Please call to discuss specific application if you have questions. • Certain glazes are acid sensitive. Do not use acid sensitive glazes for countertops, pools or bathrooms. Acids may cause discoloration. • Do not mix Recycled and White clay bodies in the same installation.

MANUFACTURING INFORMATION • V23 ceramic tile is 100% manufactured by our expert team of ceramicists in Aromas, CA 95004. We repurpose old discarded tile, recycle waste water and glaze materials, and manufacture in our daylit, open-air factory. All material is 100% made in the USA.

INSTALLATION • Please contact your sales associate for detailed instructions. • Use a natural color sanded grout and avoid dark grouts. For grout joints we recommend 3⁄16" (1⁄4" for 12" modules). Note: Smaller joints are possible. • Sealing is not necessary unless it is a non-acid resistant color in an area such as a bathroom or pool to prevent a patina from forming on the tile. It is always a good idea to seal your grout to ward off staining and discoloration.

CUSTOM OPTIONS • Custom design options are available. Color, size, and shape can all be modified depending on the project. Please inquire with your specific project details.
