    Porcellan Co. LLC is a United Arab Emirates based company, spread over an area of 765,000 square meters

    in Abu Dhabi area. Founded in 2006, it plays a key role within the strong local and regional presence of

    Jamal Al-Ghurair Group (JAG) by decisively re-defining the concept of porcelain tiles.

    Its effective sales network reaches key distributors in over 25 countries in the Middle East, Africa, Asia and

    Europe. Porcellan serves large-scale distribution channels, specialized dealers, retailers and end-users. The

    integrated efforts of its workforce along with the latest technologies utilized provided the company with

    the capability to produce more than 50,000 square meters of tiles per day.

    designers and homeowners. There is no doubt that the company will set a new benchmark for porcelain in

    the United Arab Emirates and worldwide.

    It is worth mentioning that the company was established by Jamal Al-Ghurair who is accustomed to the

    nuances of business and commerce at an early age. He recognized the untapped local and regional market

    for porcelain tiles and bravely directed his vision into building one of the largest porcelain plants.

    GLAZINGGlazing involves applying one or more coats of silica sand which gives a high-gloss finish and makes the surface very hard,

    smooth and slip resistant. Tile glazing is mostly used for residential units since it seals out water, is easy to clean, protects the

    tile from wear and tear and extends the life of the surface.

    FIRINGFiring is a crucial stage within the whole production process. During this stage, the texture of the tile will be adjusted

    providing the body with strength, size stability, and resistance to chemical agents. At Porcellan, a state-of-the-art Sacmi kilns,

    with a total length of 218.4 meters, are used for firing. Recycled and natural gas is used to supply kilns with heat that is then

    transmitted to the tile body through radiation.

    POLISHINGPorcellan has six polishing lines that provide glazed and technical polished products with a mirror-like soft and brilliant

    surface. In case of matt products, polishing is not required.

    RECTIFICATIONPorcellan has eight squaring lines to deliver products with squared edges and size uniformity. Rectified tiles must be installed

    with minimum 2mm grout lines.

    SORTINGAll tiles with surface defect and variation in shade will be eliminated. There are nine advanced sorting lines at Porcellan to

    automatically check each tile separately and ensure the quality of the products.

    PACKINGTiles are wrapped rigidly with a thick cartoon box around their perimeter to ensure it is safely delivered to the customers.

    Laying is fundamental for an excellent result. It is absolutely necessary to ensure that all

    operations are carried out with accuracy by skilled professionals, creating floor and wall

    coverings capable of lasting for many years. We would like to mention here some points

    concerning the application of porcelain wall and floor tiles.

    PRELIMINARY OPERATIONS

    It is important to check that you have sufficient materials to complete the job. Moreover, it is

    a good thing to have one or two boxes for cut tiles and for accidental breakages and one or

    two boxes for the owner to keep, so that the owner can resolve any need that may arise in

    the future. The boxes must be stacked no higher than 4 by 4 to avoid the risk of breaking tiles.

    You always have to check the materials before laying. Inspect them to ensure that there are

    no visible defects. Then dry lay a couple of square metres of tiles to check and reconfirm the

    overall effect.

    Prior to laying tiles, the surface to be covered should be examined to ensure a stable base: it

    must be level, dry, smooth and clean. If the surfaces are not absolutely vertical/horizontal,

    you must get a stone mason to correct all of the irregularities.

    LAYING

    For a better result, take tiles from different boxes alternately to avoid any slight differences in

    tone and size becoming very ev ident.

    After choosing the most appropriate adhesive and preparing it properly following the

    manufacturers instructions, spread the adhesive on the ground by using a straight-edged

    spatula and then comb it with the toothed side.

    For larger than 30x30 cm formats, floors subject to heavy pedestrian traffic and external uses,

    it is advisable to use the double-glued technique that means distribute the fixing material on

    the ground and put a fine cover on the back side of the tile.

    This practice prevents the creation of voids that could lead to breakage. Joints allow the floor

    - (wall-) system to settle and adapt to technical-structural variations in the building, and for

    this reason small joints are suggested also for rectified tiles.

    The choice of the type of joint space depends on several elements, that are: (1) the place

    where the tiles are to be fitted - indoors or outdoors; (2) tile size; (3) desired width floor tile

    joint spaces are normally wider than wall joint spaces; (4) joint colour this can be the same

    colour as the tiles or can be different to have a contrasting effect; (5) type of joint finishing

    smooth, rustic, flat or concave.

    The choice of the type of joint space depends on several elements, that are: (1) the placewhere the tiles are to be fitted - indoors or outdoors; (2) tile size; (3) desired width floor tile

    joint spaces are normally wider than wall joint spaces; (4) joint colour this can be the same

    colour as the tiles or can be different to have a contrasting effect; (5) type of joint finishing

    smooth, rustic, flat or concave.

    In order to ensure that the joints are well aligned, the tiles should be fitted with the help of

    cross guides (there are several types of cross guides that can be removed and re-used) and/

    or wedges. Regarding laying outdoor, in addition, individual national laws may require specific

    characteristics (eg. anti-slip properties): select between collections materials which comply

    with the relevant regulations for the specific case.

    Finally, to check that tiles have been well fitted, make a sound test. If a tile is tapped and a

    hollow sound is heard, this means that this tile is not correctly fitted and the adhesive was not

    spread out properly. When laying the tile, it is preferable to use adhesive instead of cement.

    GROUTING THE JOINTS

    Joints must be grouted at least 24-48 hours after the tiles are laid. The joints must be

    completely clean throughout their entire body. The underside and edges of the tile must be

    accurately soaked.

    The grouting must be performed with grouts from reputed manufacturers available in the

    market. The joints are normally grouted with rubber spatulas, letting the g rout penetrate the

    depths. Rectified tiles must be installed with minimum 2mm grout lines.

    Everything is left to dry. When the sealant starts to take hold, the excess should then be

    removed with a wet sponge.It is recommended not to use sand or sawdust that digs into and

    removes the grout that is still fresh from the joints.

    FINAL CLEANING OF THE FLOOR AFTER LAYING

    After installation, residues of mortar, cement, grout or adhesives, often not visible to the

    naked eye, are always left on the floor.

    These materials make the floor less attractive and may trap dust and dirt. About 36-48 hours

    after grouting is finished, the cleaning must be carried out using a descaling detergent inaccordance with the manufacturers instructions.

    Generally the detergent, diluted in water, must be applied to clean areas of a few square

    metres at a time, after which each area should be abundantly rinsed and then dried.

    The quality of porcelain tiles covering depends not only on good design and correct laying,

    but also on the care that will be addressed to the surfaces. In order to highlight the aesthetic

    features of the materials and ensure that the surface maintains its original beauty, we

    recommend you to observe some basic precautions as regards maintenance, cleaning and

    protection.

    DURING BUILDING WORK

    Once the tiles have been installed it will be necessary to provide adequate protection against

    possible damages during subsequent work, covering them with cardboard, thick plastic or a

    layer of sawdust.

    FIRST CLEANING

    The most important cleaning operation has to be performed immediately after the tiles have

    been set and before the floor is used.It is essential to clean the tiles accurately the first time

    in order to highlight their aesthetic characteristics and guarantee that they are easy to clean

    and stain resistant. If a surface layer of grout remains on the tiles, the floor will tend to get

    dirty more quickly.

    In this phase, it is advisable to apply an acid-based detergent to small surfaces as per the

    concentration recommended by the manufacturer.Then let it soak for a few minutes before

    removing it with a rough cloth. It is necessary and essential to rinse the surface with plenty of

    clean water.Before proceeding with this type of acti vity, it is advisable to carry out a resistance

    test on a small surface area of the material so as to not damage the entire surface.

    To prevent the acid-based product from corroding the cement-based joint filler, wet the floor

    prior to cleaning so that the joints are impregnated and thus protected from the corrosive

    action of the acid.

    If the first cleaning is performed after the floor has been used, before applying the acid-based product it is advisable to remove any greasy or similar substances using right cleaning

    products.

    ORDINARY CLEANING

    Customary cleaning eliminates dirt, marks or footprints and reinforces the protective layer in

    case of wear.Surfaces should be cleaned with proper detergents that do not affect surfaces

    and glazes. It is therefore appropriate to avoid using acid based or aggressive cleaners.

    Grs porcellanato is a very tough material with particularly high resistance to chemicals and

    frost. It is also waterproof and it does not retain stains of any type. For everyday cleaning, it

    is sufficient to wash the floor with water and detergents for ceramic surfaces.

    The use of warm water helps to increase the cleaning process efficiently.Nevertheless,

    persistent stains that are difficult to remove with normal cleaning may be eliminated with the

    appropriate use of stronger and more concentrated cleaning products, capable of removing

    heavier dirt and restoring the original appearance of the tiles. It is very important to identify

    the type of stain and use the suitable cleaner, so it is advisable to chose the appropriate

    detergent reading the label with attention.

    Grs porcellanato is resistant to all chemicals, with the exception of hydrofluoric acid, which

    is harmful to all ceramic products. It is appropriate to avoid rubbing surfaces with abrasivematerials such as metal pads or hard brushes that can scratch or leave marks on the surface.

    Grs porcellanato may undergo an industrial polishing process that produces the polished

    type, which has a mirror finish. Unlike the natural (i.e. unpolished) material, it presents

    some stainability problems: the polishing process, in fact, opens the pores of the porcelain

    stoneware, making it easier for dirt to penetrate.

    In addition, polished surfaces suffer with the passage of time a process of opacification. So, it

    is important to distinguish between cleaning and protection for polished and for natural

    material.

    For commercial and heavily used surface areas such as airports, hospitals, supermarkets and

    any public spaces which are subject to considerable soiling, it is necessary to use automaticcleaning machines with suction of the washing liquids. This allows not only deep cleaning but

    also the continuous removal of liquids containing substances that cause soiling.

    ORDINARY CLEANING

    EXTRA ORDINARY CARE PROCEDURE

    When the original treatment has been heavily damaged or is very old, or if treatment care

    procedures have not been carried out correctly, it is necessary to perform an exceptional

    care procedure. In these cases, old treatments or old layer of care wax have to be removed

    and then restored. Before using the appropriate product for this operation, it is advisable toperform a test on a small part of the surface.

    PROTECTION

    The aim of the preservation process is to raise a barrier to prevent the floor from becoming

    dirty and enhance the materials appearance. However, to preserve the genuine beauty of the

    floor as long as possible, it is advisable to protect the entrance to the room, especially if it is

    in direct contact with outdoor area, using a doormat that will as much as possible hold back

    dust or other abrasive substances.

    Ultimately, particular care should be given to the maintenance of joints, which are more

    delicate and absorbing than the tiles themselves. For this reason, we suggest to cover the

    area around the sink in kitchens or in bathrooms with special grouts able to protect joints andincrease their waterproof properties.

    In case coloured joint fillers are used in floor tiles, light colours are not recommended for

    entrance areas or kitchen floors because they get dirty easily.

    TYPOLOGIES

    GLAZED PORCELAIN

    Glazed porcelain tiles have a layer of colored glaze which is applied on the tile surface during

    the manufacturing process. These tiles are resistant to stains and water, easy to clean and

    hard-wearing, making them good for kitchen counter tops, bathrooms, living rooms and high-traffic residential areas.

    TECHNICAL PORCELAIN

    Technical porcelain tiles have exceptional technical characteristics since they are crafted using

    best quality clays and a full body color. They are ideal for buildings, villas, shopping centers,

    retail shops, hotels, and many other commercial and residential applications.

    SOLUBLE SALTS

    Contain aquatic compounds of inorganic salts that are applied on the surface of the tile.

    DOUBLE CHARGE

    SALT & PEPPER

    Produced utilizing a dosing system technology that mixes various color pigments with the

    body slip resulting in a dot-like appearance. These models are commonly used for industrial

    and high-traffic areas.

    CHROMA

    Designed using the Chroma machine from LB, these full-body tiles have exceptional veined

    and varied color effects.

    UNICOLOR

    Have the same technical features as soluble salts however these models are full-body single

    colored.

    SUPERFICIAL FINISHINGS

    NATURAL

    An extremely compact crystallized surface obtained using an innovative production technique

    that makes it possible to obtain an unglazed product devoid of porosity, with passing veins and

    without the application of vitrified or crystalline glaze.

    MATT

    Opaque surface, not reflecting; on glazed tiles it is due to a special composition that absorbs

    the light creating surfaces without reflections.

    LAPPATO

    Particularly soft to touch surface of relative brilliance, obtained by a mechanical action that

    does not remove material in a homogeneous way, but only acts on certain areas, to create

    partially polished zones.

    POLISHED

    The natural porcelain-body product is subject to the action of polishing springs that removepart of the surface to make it perfectly glossy and reflective. This finishing exalts the aesthetic

    characteristics of the material by increasing the brilliance and elegance, out-beating the shine

    of natural marble.

    GLOSSY

    Through the application of glazes to the ceramic support before firing, we get very reflective

    and shiny surfaces, until obtaining almost a mirror effect. This type of processing allows us to

    offer our customers high-value products that can equal Porcelain finishing.

    PERFORMANCE

    R SLIP RESITANCE

    In its simplest sense, a slip resistant surface is one that allows a person to walk across it

    without the risk of slipping.

    The slip resistance coefficients indicated by R values refer to the German standard DIN

    51130, which classifies products according to end-use requirements, shown in ascending

    order of risk, with particular reference to industrial and commercial environments.

    The values range from R9 for materials that pass the first level of the test, to R13 for materials

    recommended for industrial use in particular.

    R9= person slips between 6-10 angle of elevation. Low static friction.

    R10= person slips between 10-19 angle of elevation. Normal static friction.

    R11= person slips between 19-27 angle of elevation. Increased static friction.

    R12= person slips between 27-35 angle of elevation. High static friction.

    R13 = person slips more than 35 angle of elevation. Very high static friction.

    ABRASION RESISTANCE

    The durability of a tiles glaze can be measured, subjectively, by observing the visible surface

    of the tile when subjected to this test. Usually an abrasive pad is ground against the tile for

    a period of time. The amount of damage done to the glaze is recorded and assigned a PEI

    rating of #1-#5.

    CLASS 1: Generally not recommended for use on floors.

    CLASS 2:Residential floor coverings in areas subject to soft-soled to normal footwear trafficwith no scratching dirt. Domestic bathroom and bedrooms without exterior

    access. (Light traffic)

    CLASS 3: Residential floor coverings in areas subject to soft-soled to normal footwear

    traffic with small amounts of scratching dirt. Rooms in living areas of homes

    except kitchens, entrances, and other areas that may be subject to high traffic.

    (Medium traffic)

    CLASS 4:Residential or light commercial floor coverings in areas subject to soft-soled to

    normal footwear. Halls, kitchens, entryways. (Medium-High traffic)

    CLASS 5:Commercial or residential floor coverings in areas subject to high traffic and

    scratching dirt. Malls, hotels, airports. (Heavy traffic)

    AESTHETICSSHADE VARIATION

    Variations in size, colour, texture, and pattern should be expected. This distinguishing

    characteristics of tile is a source of its natural beauty.

    V1 = UNIFORM APPEARANCE

    Minimal differences among pieces from the same production run.

    V2 = SLIGHT VARIATION

    Slight difference in texture and/or pattern among similar colours.

    V3 = MODERATE APPEARANCE

    Light to moderate shade and texture variation among pieces from the same carton.

    While the same colours are found on all tiles, the quantity of a particular colour on each

    piece may vary significantly.V4 = RANDOM VARIATION

    Very high shade and texture variation among pieces from the same carton, random

    colour differences from tile to tile. One tile may have totally different colour from those

    of another tile.
