www.valverdi.co.uk 3938 strength | beauty | resilience *All sizes are nominal, see FAQ section on page 38
Will Valverdi Indoor-Out Porcelain fade?No, the product is completely colour-fast.
Can you lay 9/10mm porcelain outdoors?Technically�yes,�but�we�do�NOT�recommend�you�do�this.�To�be�successful you would have to lay it onto a de-coupling layer onto a�cured�and�reinforced�concrete�bed�and�incorporate�expansion�joints as required. Additionally, the internal tiles do not have the enhanced�slip-resistance of�the�20mm.�The�external�environment�is much tougher on a tile than in the house and the 20mm tile is designed�to�cope�with�outdoor�elements�such�as�children’s�bikes,�gardening�equipment�and�differential�solar�expansion�between�the tile and the concrete bed. We recommend using the 20mm tile externally�and�the�9/10mm�tile internally.
Can Valverdi Indoor-Out tiles be used on balconies and roof terraces?Absolutely! By laying onto support pedestals they can quickly and easily�transform�your�roof�terrace�or balcony.
Are the tiles value for money?Valverdi Indoor-Out tiles represent fantastic value for money as they�will�outlast�you�and�should�never�need replacing.�
Will a hard winter damage the outdoor tiles?No, they are completely frost-proof.
How can I avoid lipping when installing oblong tiles?Most�tiles�will�have�a�slight�bow�along�their�length�due�to�the�firing�process,�which�is�more�obvious�in�oblong�or�plank�tiles.�This�can�be accentuated by certain laying patterns, but can be avoided by increasing�the�joint�width�and�choosing�a�stack�bond�or�1/3�broken�bond�pattern.�Lay�the�tiles�out�before�fixing�to�determine�the�best�pattern�and�joint�width�to�avoid�lipping�issues.�Laying�your�tiles�out�will also help you to check the colouring and pattern before laying.
Do you need to seal Valverdi Indoor-Out Porcelain?The�tiles�do�not�require�sealing,�however�we�strongly�recommend�using�BAL�Protective�Sealer�prior�to�grouting.�Warmer�weather�can�cause�grout�to�flash�dry�and�leave�an�invisible�and�extremely�hard�to clean polymer coating on the tile. Using a protective sealer will save time during the grouting process, improve the look of the grouting and help prevent a polymer coat drying on the surface of the tiles.
Will Valverdi Indoor-Out Porcelain scratch?Valverdi Indoor-Out porcelain is incredibly hard to scratch, making it
suitable�for�both�domestic�and�commercial�applications.�Don’t�take�our word for it though, order a sample and try to scratch it!
How do you look after the tiles?To�keep�them�looking�good,�just�sweep�and�occasionally�clean�with�a�damp�mop�and�LTP�External�Paving�Cleaner.�To�remove�scuff�marks�or�to�spring�clean�winter�dirt�use�Lithofin�Intensive�Cleaner.�The�tiles�are�completely�unaffected�by�jet washing.
Are the tiles slip resistant?Yes.�The�internal�tile�has�good�slip�resistance�and�the�20mm�has�added�HD�slip�resistance�to�cope�with�outdoor elements.
Will they stain or discolour?No,�the�product�is�non-porous�and�therefore�resistant�to staining.�Additionally, due to the tiles non-pourous nature, algae will not affect�the surface.
How accurate is the sizing of tiles?All�sizes�detailed�in�the�brochure�are�nominal�(approximate).�After�manufacture�Valverdi�porcelain�tiles�are�rectified�to�the�same�size,�but�this�can�vary�between�different�production�runs�(batches).�Indoor and outdoor tiles are made on separate production runs so sizing�of�indoor�and�outdoor�tiles�can�vary.�Please�contact�us�if�you�have any questions regarding the sizing of your tiles.
What is the minimum grout width?You should use a minimum 2mm grout width with the indoor tiles and�4mm�for�the�outdoor�tile.�
Can I link the Indoor and Outdoor grout lines?Most of the time this is possible, however the indoor and outdoor tiles�can�be�rectified�to�slightly�different�sizes,�so�please�call�our�stockists�to�check�current�batch�sizing.�The�alternative�is�to�break�the bond between indoor and outdoor.
What is the difference between rectified and non-rectified tiles?When�porcelain�tiles�are�made�they�are�fired�at�very�high�temperatures in advanced kilns. However, when they leave the kiln�the�tiles�will�all�be�slightly�different�sizes�due�to�different�shrinkage�rates.�At�Valverdi�we�ensure�all�our�tiles�are�rectified,�a�process where their edges are ground to precise dimensions so size�variations�between�tiles�within�a�batch�will�be�very�small.�This�allows you to use a much narrower joint to give a clean, precise and contemporary�grout�joint.�If�you�choose�tiles�that�are�non-rectified�you will have to use much wider grout joints and lose that clean contemporary look you have tried to achieve.
