Custom Tile - Technical Specifications
| Description: |
Innovative high-resolution photographic image transfer to
ceramic and glass surfaces. Non-Toxic, exclusive process technology guarantees high standards in terms of visual image quality,
clarity and durability (in colour or black & 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 and glass.

| Assembly & Installation:
|

including directions on how to assemble the mural. 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) Surface resistant to acid rain. Surface is frost resistant if applied to a porcelain support material.
|
| 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: |
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: |
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]).
