and forgers.

3. The veneer is dry before setting to prevent stains on the boards.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Ceramic coatings are an option for use in walls and floors in homes,
commercial areas, dry and wet area, simple and sophisticated, indoor and
outdoor environments.
With a wide range of designs, colors and sizes that offer many advantages
over other coatings:
1. easy to clean and safe
2. Weather resistant
3. Versatile decoration
4. Hypoallergenic and non-flammable
For safety, do not install ceramic coatings with glossy finishes in outdoor
flooring because of possible damage due to humidity, rain or in areas of
heavy movement.
Protect your investment with mats, all types of surfaces can have abrasive
streaks or scratches (wood, marble) do not confuse resistance to heavy
movement with quality ceramic, this is just one of its features.
The CELIMA products are not resistant to temperatures below 0° degrees
centigrade; they are not anti-freeze.
CERAMIC WALL COATINGS
Made with a light, porous material which is a suitable characteristic for wall
fixtures. Installed with 3 mm joints to improve aesthetic results. These
coatings should not be used on floors.
FLOOR COATINGS
Single-fired tiling and enamels have appropriate characteristics for use on
floors.
They are strong against abrasion and have a higher scratch resistance than the
wall coverings
CERAMIC TILE FOR SWIMMING POOLS, TANKS AND CISTERNS:
