How to place porcelain stoneware tiles?
From Azulejos Solá we want to teach you some tips for laying and maintaining porcelain stoneware. 1. The first step is, once the porcelain stoneware floor has been received, carefully review it. Check that the quality, tones and gauges of the material received are the same as those chosen in the tile store. This must be reviewed before starting to place it, because once the work has started, it makes it difficult for us to claim and change the model. In addition to the work and cost of removing the floor to replace it. 2. It is necessary to use appropriate mortars, which comply with current regulations. Traditional gripping materials do not guarantee sufficient adherence for porcelain stoneware tiles, especially considering the size of current floors. The nomenclature of the laying mortar must be c1 or c2, so that it complies with the regulations that guarantee correct placement. In large porcelain stoneware formats, double gluing is recommended, spreading the adhesive mortar over the entire surface of the piece. 3. Today there are many tools that facilitate the laying and leveling of porcelain stoneware tiles, such as wedges, crosspieces or leveling. These materials are highly recommended, since for a low cost we obtain a greater possibility of having a well placed and aligned floor. 4. The use of expansion joints is recommended, with at least a 1.5mm separation. Filling the joints with specific material, once the adhesive mortar is dry and the pavement is well established. 5. For laying rectangular porcelain stoneware flooring, it is important not to lock the next piece to more than 20%. 6. Once the laying of our floor is finished, we must do a thorough cleaning to be completely satisfied. The gripping and grouting materials adhere a lot to porcelain stoneware and it will be necessary to do the final cleaning of the work with a technical and specific product, such as Deterdek, from Fila Solutions. 7. From the first cleaning, for the maintenance of our porcelain stoneware, we will only use hot water and our usual household detergent. We should not use aggressive products that contain acids, such as salfumán.
Difference between red and white pasta
There is some question about the difference between a red body tile and a white body tile. Both types of cladding can be used both indoors and outdoors. The difference between red-paste and white-paste ceramic tiles is the material from which it is made, the clays and sand used. The technical characteristics are very similar, and the hardness and resistance of the materials is almost the same. Yes, it is true that the enamel applied to the tile "catches" better on white-paste tiles and, therefore, the colors of white-paste ceramic are more successful than those of a red-paste tile. . They are more vivid colors. The white body coating is said to be "more perfect" than the red body coating. This is, as we say, for the finish of the enamel, but not for the hardness or quality of the material. This difference can be verified in any tile store, for example, with white tiles. Surely we will see a sharper or purer white on the white body tile. Apart from this characteristic, what justifies the price difference between one type of tile and another is that, while the red body is produced in Castellón, the white body is imported from countries such as Ukraine, Turkey or England, at a cost of high transport that makes the product more expensive. A red body covering can be between € 2 and € 4 cheaper than a white body covering of the same size, for the reasons we have discussed.

Large format porcelain
There is no doubt that porcelain pieces of size XL have predominated in the latest fairs and ceramic novelties. For some time now, Italian manufacturers, who are always one step ahead in design and innovation, presented them in their contests and saw them in their catalogs and exhibitors. Now this trend has also reached almost all domestic manufacturers. The most leading Castellón brands, such as Apavisa and Tau, started producing it last year. But in Cersaie, the prestigious fair in Bologna (Italy), we have been able to verify that all Italian and Spanish brands have released this product that seems to begin to gain strength. It is true that the ceramic sector has evolved a lot thanks to the technological evolution that allows producing larger and larger pieces of better quality and more real appearance. In the middle of the last century that the ceramic sector boom began due to the increase in demand in floor construction, only 20cm square or 20x40cm rectangular pieces were manufactured. Today we produce and consume parts of 3 meters. It has been especially in the last decade when the size of the pieces has grown the most, since about 15 years ago floors of more than 45x45 cm were not installed and, now, the installation of porcelain floors of 75x75cm, 45x90cm or 60x120cm However, the XL formats of 2.40 meters or 3 meters create controversy among professionals in the sector, as they are pieces that do not fit on any floor and that need special logistics to transport them and put them in homes. Separate mention for installation. Although the thickness is less than that of small tile formats (3mm, 5mm or 6mm), the size makes it very difficult to handle them, and most installers are not trained or have the necessary machinery for guarantee placement. All these factors make each process more expensive and make it, for the moment, an exclusive product. It is not easy to predict if these sizes will have a consolidated consumption in the future or if the factories will spend them to be able to cut on demand any tile of any size. Finally we must say that although in private homes its consumption is scarce, for public establishments such as restaurants and shops, or for large outdoor areas they are already being used, and the result is spectacular.
