| Application manual This manual, aimed at architects, professionals, designers and building contractors involved in building and renovation projects in public spaces, explains how Italian ceramic tiles are perfectly capable of meeting all design requirements. “Ceramic tiles in public spaces. Application Manual”, written by Giorgio Timellini and Carlo Palmonari from the Centro Ceramico Bologna and published by Edi.Cer, offers guidelines for the design and installation of floor and wall coverings in areas subject to high foot traffic, an application that requires products capable of combining high aesthetic value with outstanding technical performance, reliability and durability. Consisting of just under a hundred pages, the publication begins by defining and classifying public spaces (railway stations, airports, shops, shopping centres, professional studios, banks, office buildings, exhibition spaces, schools, hospitals, cultural venues and hotels). It then goes on to identify for each space the stresses that the tiles have to withstand and consequently the profile of the product that needs to be used. The manual also outlines the general characteristics of ceramic tiles from technical/normative, aesthetic and environmental standpoints. These three sections offer useful guidance on choosing products and feature a wide range of proposals capable of meeting all requirements of users. The last chapter is devoted to tiling, including technical specifications for installation, construction solutions and special techniques for the use of tiles in public spaces. This manual establishes a rigorous and technically valid method that professionals can follow to choose the most suitable type of tiling for each application. It contains a large number of technical and info sheets along with a detailed bibliography and sections on the Centro Ceramico Bologna and Ceramic Tiles of Italy. |
