Description:
Innovative high-resolution photographic image transfer
to ceramic and glass surfaces.
Non-Toxic, exclusive process technology guaranteeing high standards in terms of visual image
quality, clarity and durability (in colour or black and white).
All images are fired into the support material (ceramics
and/or glass) at a temperature of up to 1600o F. for ceramics and 1100°F. for glass.
This exclusive process allows the
production of tile murals in any size.
Support Materials:
Pre-Glazed materials only: Ceramics (red or white body),
porcelain(1) earthenware, dinnerware, plates…etc.Glass.
Sizes: 3”x3” / 4.25”x4.25” / 3”x6”
/ 6”x6” / 8” x 8” / 6”x8” / 10”x10” / 12”x12”.
Shapes: Square
/ rectangular / round / oval. (Flat, convex and concave).
Applications:
Developed for interior and exterior applications.
Vertical
& horizontal(2) surfaces such as walls, shower stalls, back splashes, counter tops, bathrooms, spa and pool floors…
etc.
Single tile, murals, shop signs, billboards or wherever tiles are used.
Any decorative finishes of pools (water
liners and bottoms), spas, aquariums, water fountains, waterfalls etc.
Exterior and interior decoration (multiple uses)
in hotels, casinos, theme parks, spas, restaurants etc.
Other uses: table tops, doors, plates, dinnerware, cups, trays,
clocks, memorials…etc.
Assembly & Installation:
Each mural is accompanied by a numbered assembly layout
including directions on how to assemble the mural (image).
Tiles should be installed following normal good standards for
the installation of ceramic tile as per Tile Council of North America’s “Handbook for Ceramic Tile Installation”
(for wall and floor tile).
General characteristics of resistance:
Surface is resistant to sunlight rays.
Surface resists
high temperatures.
Surface is resistant to mild chemicals, diluents and regular household detergents (soap, acetone, alcohol,
bleaches etc.…)
Surface resistant to acid rain.
Surface is frost resistant if applied to a porcelain support material.
Maintenance:
Glazed surfaces: The decorated
surface, whether a single unit or a mural should be treated as a “normal” glazed ceramic surface.
Sponge-clean
tiles with mild detergents. Never rub powdered cleansers or any high acid-based cleaners on a tile surface.
Grouting
can be cleaned with a stiff brush (such as a toothbrush) and a non-bleach cleaning powder.
Any regular consumer tile cleaning
detergents can be used.
Mildew or mould that forms on ceramics and grouting in damp areas can be
removed by scrubbing with a light solution of water and chlorine,
and thoroughly rinse afterwards. Combat mildew and mould
on grouting by applying special mildew and mould preventive materials.
Replacements: In case of damage
to one or more tiles in a mural, replacements can easily be provided, as all single images
and/or murals are electronically
kept on file.(The original used support material (tile) must be used for the replacement unit [image]).
