INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS

Dimensions, color variation

- All given dimensions are approximate. There may be slight dimensional deviations within a single color or between different colors. The recommended joint width is 6-10 mm.

- Color variations within a single piece/color are common. Some pieces may have small cracks in the glaze. These micro-cracks are a natural phenomenon of glazed surfaces and do not affect the quality of the product.

- All glazed surfaces will show signs of use or scratches after a certain period of time. It is important to consider the color, purpose and location of use of the glazed elements. Many of the available colors are very light and are therefore not recommended for places where they will be exposed to high traffic.

- Variations in dimensions, uniformity or color are a natural phenomenon of this line of products and are not considered a manufacturing defect, as well as commonly occurring imperfections.

Installation

- The maximum expansion module of sunbreaks may vary between series. For the F and CE collection it is recommended max 3.2x3.2 m. There are different restrictions for the MCA series. A larger area must be divided into expansion modules accordingly.

- For bonding, it is recommended to use a mixture of Portland cement mortar with fine-grained sand in a ratio of 1:3, or flexible polyurethane adhesives, e.g. Sikaflex.

- When using sunbreaks as a vertical ventilation/partition wall, it is recommended to use a supporting anchoring stainless steel structure (horizontal and vertical reinforcement with anchoring - Murfor system or simmilar, usually every 2-3 rows/columns), alternatively a perimeter frame.

- Since each project is unique, dimensions, anchoring system and the actual construction should be consulted with a structural engineer.
