The Gioia Series is a low-fired porcelain product. With bright colors and an undulated texture, this series is a beautiful accent to any design ranging from traditional to ultra-modern. Because this material is a porcelain product, minimal maintenance is required. Gioia Series is available in 4 × 16 planks and sixteen colors.
Piece to piece variation in shade or color are inherent in all fired clay products; therefore, it is recommended to mix tiles from several boxes at a time during installation to achieve the best range of color. When mixing sizes within a series, shade, texture, and calibration differences should be expected. This series is suitable for residential and commercial applications.
For proper bonding, medium bed mortar should be used when installing tiles with a dimensional length greater than 15 inches, and rectangular shape and plank tile, per industry standards. Proper thinset coverage is also necessary, and in some cases, back buttering of tile may be required.
