Yperfectas

The Yperfectas Collection is made up of three pieces of ceramic tile that generate a pattern with infinite combinations of organic shapes. This collection consists of two symmetrical pieces and one plain piece of 20 x 20 cm.

To achieve a good adhesion to the surface of placement it is necessary to discover its initial and firm surface, for which it will be necessary to proceed to an exhaustive cleaning, since the existence of dust and remains of materials, will condition the correct adhesion of the support with the facing. The performance of adhesive mortars is reduced from a thickness of 5 mm, which is why it is not possible to correct the unevenness of the facing with excess adhesive, so it is essential to have perfectly flat surfaces. A bonding material suitable for the type of tile to be installed should be used, with adequate elasticity and high technical, mechanical and chemical performance.

For the final cleaning of the coating it is advisable to use products compatible with the chemical resistance of the pieces, as well as to avoid the use of solid detergents with abrasive particles or solutions containing hydrofluoric acid, since this acid attacks the enamel and causes irreparable damage to the ceramic. In case of stains that cannot be completely removed with a conventional detergent and that require the use of solvents or specific cleaners, it is recommended to previously consult the chemical resistance class of the piece. It is advisable not to use waxes, oils or similar products.

In humid sanitary areas it is recommended to grout with a “sunken joint” to highlight the original shape of the piece. The joint should be 1.5 mm thick with a strip or crosspiece. The grout is executed without filling the joint to the surface in order to respect the edge of the manual style piece. When removing the grout, press with the sponge, emptying the upper layer of the joint to achieve this “sunken” effect that respects the beauty and natural shapes of the edge of the piece. In dry areas, in order to decontextualize the ceramic tile from its functional use in wet areas and make it the protagonist of the main spaces while maintaining the purity of its shape and design, we recommend the 1 mm joint with crosspiece and without grout.
