Post Consumer Recycling (New)Post consumer glass is now included regularly in our production mix at an average of 3%.

Live Green

Many Fiandre USA products have been created using at least 40% recycled material that includes a 3% Post Consumer Recycled Content. Fiandre USA products have been third party certified and may possibly contribute to LEED™ points under the construction materials category.

Pre Consumer Recycling• Fiandre USA production utilizes recycled waste coming from other manufacturer processes in the sanitary & manufacturing industries. • Fiandre USA production is a closed loop process that recycles nearly 100% of raw material and water waste back into the production cycle. • Fiandre USA’s water from the polishing factory is recycled back into the production line.

Other Recycled MaterialsTo help reduce the amount of raw materials and energy required to produce paper and plastic products, we use materials containing a percentage of recycled content whenever possible: •Carton boxes for finished products •Cardboard packaging separators on pallets •Recycled paper in all offices

Anti-Pollution DevicesFiandre USA manufacturing facilities use anti-pollution devices that far exceed the minimum standards required by law, by including:• Smoke depurators• Sand depurators (regeneration and reutilization)• Water purifiers (total depuration, regeneration and reutilization)• Reutilization of heat from the kilns• Reutilization of production losses

Materials SourcingFiandre USA’s Cumberland County, Tennessee, manufacturing facility is located within 500 miles of major markets for LEED™ projects.

In addition, the factory has been built nearby its major extraction sources for raw materials, which are also within 350 mile distance.

InkJet Technology (New)• Reduction of raw materials and waste - Inkjet technology drastically reduces the amount of raw materials needed in the glazing process.

SustainabilityOur worldwide corporate environmental stewardship is hallmarked with significant investments in materials usage efficiency, water resource management, air quality protection and energy efficiency.

Materials & Resources: Credits 5(Regional materials 10% and 20%)Materials from our Tennessee production facility qualify for this credit if used in projects within 500 miles of major markets for LEED™ projects. In addition, the factory has been built nearby its major extraction sources for raw materials, which are also

within a 350 mile distance to major LEED™ building markets.

Indoor Environmental Quality: Credit 4.3(Low emitting materials)

Porcelain tile does not contain VOC’s. Many products

are GreenGuard certified, and can contribute to this credit.

Fiandre USA products have GreenGuard certifications

available at www.granitifiandre.com.

Materials & Resources: Credits 2(Construction waste management 50% and 75%) Construction wastes may be diverted from disposal in landfills to be recycled/reused in alternative construction materials.

Materials & Resources: Credit 4 (Recycled content 10% and 20%)Many Fiandre materials contain pre-consumer and post-consumer recycled content. Third party certificates are available upon request.

Innovation in Design: Credit 1(Approved on a case by case basis)e.g. ventilated facades, photocatalytic tiles, 4 mm tiles etc., Fiandre USA has the ability to produce tile with photocatalytic properties.

LEED™Fiandre materials may help buildings quality for LEED™ credits in the following areas:

Our Legacy of GreenWhile Fiandre is proud to be recognized worldwide for design and manufacture of exclusive architectural surfacing solutions, we are equally proud to be recognized worldwide for our environmental efforts ----- our Legacy of Green.

Respecting and protecting nature has been an important part of Fiandre’s corporate philosophy since our initial startup in 1961, in the town of Castellarano, Italy, before environmental commitment and stewardship at our state-of-the-art production facilities located in Italy, Germany, and the U.S.

• Since 1995, Fiandre’s European facilities have operated under the strict guidelines of UNI EN ISO 9001 Quality Management System. Fiandre USA’s plant’s ISO 9001 Certification process will be completed this year, 2012.

• We hold the European Union Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS) designation for exceeding minimum legal compliance and continuously improving our environmental performance.

• On September 12, 2000, we became the first porcelain tile manufacturer in the world to achieve specific requirements of UNI EN ISO 14001 Environmental Management System.

• In 2003, we brought our Legacy of Green to the US with the construction of a facility in Cumberland County, Tennessee, utilizing state of the art environmental technology ensuring a sustainable manufacturing process.

• In 2009, we took a major step towards giving our clients more to work with from a sustainability standpoint. Third party certifications for recycled content (Bureau Veritas) and for VOC’s (GreenGuard) are a major step in facilitating this.

• In 2010, we launched Active Ceramic™, another step towards forwarding our leadership in innovation and sustainability.

• In 2011, we introduced a10’ x 5’ porcelain slab with the Maximum Collection. This large format tile is the biggest on the market and replicates the size of marble and granite slabs, keeping the superior technical and eco-friendly features of porcelain.

Installation Site Air Quality• Fiandre USA products do not contain added VOC. With proper use and maintenance, these materials help reduce overall off-gassing, which aids in meeting LEED™ interior air quality standards.• No sealants or waxes are required that could add harmful VOC to a building.• Stain resistant surface reduces the need for harsh cleaning products.• Simple maintenance with pH neutral cleaning products is all that is needed.

Today it is possible to use inside and outside building materials, that make an active contribution, to creating a better atmosphere and a cleaner environment.

UseThe excellent physical-chemical characteristics of

Active™ Photocatalytic Ceramic make it ideal for

the following applications:

•Exterior cladding of buildings

•Interior

•Wall

•Floor

AdvantagesIn the presence of light and moisture, a strong oxidation

is activated by Active™ Photocatalytic Ceramic, that

leads to the decomposition of particular nitrogen oxides

(NOx) in the air, when they come in contact with the

Active™ Photocatalytic Ceramic surface.

Live GreenOn the reduction of nitrogen oxides (NOx), it is estimated

that 1.000 square meters of surface area of Extra White

Active™ Photocatalytic Ceramic, radiated by sunlight for

2,455 hours per year, has an effect equal to that of 20

mature trees.

Tests performed on Active™ Photocatalytic Ceramic slabs show their use both for outdoor coatings and for indoor floors and

walls. They can also be used for public buildings.

Benefits•Preservation of aesthetic characteristics by exploiting

the capability to repel dirt and other contaminates

every time that it rains.

•Abatement of nitrogen oxides pollutants (NOx)

•Observed deodorizing effect

How Active™ Photocatalytic Ceramic WorksWhen titanium dioxide (TiO2) is hit by sunlight, particularly by its UV component, the electrons in the external orbit of the

molecule are released and activated. Their presence allows oxygen to react with organic substances of all kinds, oxidizing

them into less harmful components: CO2 – carbon dioxide and H2O - water. The TiO2 acts as a catalyst. It permits the

reaction but is not consumed and is ready for further oxidation.

Positive CapabilitiesJust as plants can absorb and remove NOx air pollutants, which cause acid rain and ozone, the photocatalytic properties of Active™ Photocatalytic Ceramic reduce NOx concentrations in the air.

Benefiting the Environment in Homes & BusinessesActive™ Photocatalytic Ceramic is an environmental technology utilizing photocatalysts that interact with light and water. It can be used effectively in various applications, including walls and floors.

Installation

LAYINGHow a floor is laid is of great importance. A well-laid floor enhances all of the aesthetic qualities of the material used.1. Check that the bed (concrete slab) is perfectly level and completely dry.2. Use a cleaning device, such as a vacuum, to carefully remove dust and residues.After having chosen a suitable thin-set mortar and having prepared it following the manufacturer’s instructions, spread the thin-set mortar with a smooth spatula and then comb it with the tooth part (1). Fiandre USA strongly suggests the use of modified thin-set mortar. modified thin- set mortar will increase the lifetime of your installation. For heavy traffic floors, a double layer of thin-set mortar is recommended (2). Thus, wetting the back of the product itself with thin-set mortar (2). This procedure prevents the possible creation of holes that could cause breakage (see the difference between spreading and double spreading) (3). After approximately 24-48 hours, it is safe to proceed to grout. The laid floor must be cleaned carefully and then grouted all over its surface using a rubber spatula. It is advisable to use colors similar to the floor, in order to obtain a harmonious end result.

HOW TO MAKE HOLES:It is necessary to use a water milling cutter or a continuous crown diamond-cutting disk for stoneware and granite tiles. After having penciled (6) – on the back of the product – the perimeter of a square within which the hole must be made, use the cutting tool to cut perpendicular and diagonal lines and then concentric circles towards the outside (7). The pictures at the side illustrate in detail the cuts to follow. When the central thickness of the hole has become very thin, turn the piece over and open up the hole by tapping lightly (8). For holes in tiles a diamond points drill for granite must be used. It is important to remember to cool the points often while working.

FABRICATINGHOW TO CUT:It is necessary to use suitable, professional tools, always checking their cutting capacity and replacing worn parts when necessary. For accurate cutting use a traditional cutter, checking the state of the cutting wheel before starting. For circular cutting, after having made a template (that is to say a pattern of the part to be cut), lay it on the part in question and transfer the shape with a pencil. Using a diamond-cutting disk, cut without exerting excessive pressure (4-5).

MaintenanceCleaning &

Appropriate cleaning and maintenance will enhance the unique beauty of Fiandre materials, which are recognized for their ease of maintenance. Following the specific, yet simple guidelines outlined below will ensure a long-lasting, beautiful installation.

GroutingGrouting and grout cleanup of Fiandre materials can be achieved quickly and efficiently if the contractor follows the directions from the grout manufacturer.

Many grout manufacturers produce products specifically for use with unglazed porcelain tile, and by following their instructions, a beautiful and durable installation is ensured. Special attention should be given when using contrasting grouts --- specifically, light colored tile with dark grouts. All installations using a black grout should be field tested for compatibility. Performing a test area using the specified grout and Fiandre materials is recommended to determine if the inclusion of a grout release agent, it is necessary to use one that will not affect the bonding of the grout to the sides and edges of the joint.

Surface CoatingsFiandre materials do not require the use of sealers or waxes; in fact, adding surface coatings only increases the maintenance of this flooring system. Surface coatings may actually diminish the exceptional performance characteristics of Fiandre materials by creating a thin barrier that can modify skid resistance properties.

The dense, low-porosity nature of Fiandre materials inhibits not only the absorption of stains, but also the absorption of sealers and waxes. Application of these products may produce a spotty or streaked appearance on the tile.

In the event a polished finish is used in an area prone to excessive spills or dirt, it may be advisable to treat the tile with a penetrating type sealer.

During the polishing process, microscopic pores are sometimes exposed. Although the pores are shallow, spills can fill them making standard cleaning procedures inadequate. By using a penetrating type sealer, these microscopic pores are filled preventing stains from setting in. A penetrating-type sealer is designed only to fill pores, not to coat the tile surface. You will not alter the polished tile’s appearance, provided a recommended sealer is used and applied according to manufacturer’s instructions.

Initial CleaningThe complete removal of construction dirt and grout haze from Fiandre materials during the initial cleaning will ensure ease of future, daily maintenance.

If construction dirt has collected on the surface of the tile, it will be necessary to use a heavy-duty cleaner and possibly a scrubber to release the dirt. A wet vacuum can be used to aid in the pickup of the suspended dirt in the cleaning solution. The floor should then be rinsed thoroughly to leave the surface free and clear of any cleaner residue, which if left on the surface could attract dirt or become slippery when wet.

Grout haze or residue, however, will require special products. There are two situations that can occur with grout residue; a cementitious residue, which generally can be seen, or an invisible residue left by additives often used in grouts. It is important that both residues be removed to leave your floor thoroughly cleaned. Either residue will increase soiling and create ongoing maintenance problems.

Acid washing is not recommended, especially with the use of colored grouts. Use of acids can cause discoloration of the grout joints and, in some instances, cause the color pigment to attach itself to the surface of the tile making it more difficult to clean. If tracking and soiling are consistently occurring, it can usually be associated with grout haze or buildup of cleaners. A cleanup of the grout as directed above, or a thorough cleansing and rinsing of the floor to remove cleaner buildup, should eliminate excessive soiling and tracking.

1. Sweep, using a soft, natural bristle broom, or vacuum floor of debris.2. Using product from a reputable manufacturer of tile cleaner or grout stripper, prepare a cleaning solution as recommended by the manufacturer’s instructions. Dispense a generous amount of solution onto the floor by mop or sponge applicator.3. Allow the solution to sit on the surface a few minutes to increase the suspension of the dirt particles and produce a cleaner surface. 4. Using a nylo-grit brush, scrub slowly in an overlapping figure eight pattern. If the area is very dirty or has grout or sealer film, a 175 rpm rotary scrubber must be used to get the proper results. If the area is only lightly soiled, an auto scrubber can be used, making several passes before picking up the solution.5. Have several rinse buckets with clean water available before pick up the scrubbed solution. Use a wet vacuum to pick up the solution and immediately rinse the surface with clean, cold water. Pick up the rinse water and repeat until the surface is completely free of solution.6. Remove excess water from the floor.

MaintenanceMany general purpose, neutral cleaners are effective for the regular cleaning and maintenance of Fiandre materials. It is important that the selected cleaner have a non-oil, non-animal fat, non-soap base. Cleaners with these ingredients may cause problems due to residues left behind in the cleaning process, which can trap dirt. For best results, the following maintenance procedures are recommended for the various finishes of Fiandre products.

UnpolishedMatte, Semi-Matte, Honed

For moderate soiling:1. Sweep, using a soft, natural bristle broom or vacuum floorof debris.2. Saturate the floor with the recommended amount of general purpose, neutral cleaner and agitate the solution. An auto-scrubber may be used.3. Allow the solution to sit on the surface a minimum of five minutes to increase the suspension of the dirt particles and produce a cleaner surface.4. Remove the dirty cleaning solution from the floor with either a wet vacuum or mop, and rinse with clean water.5. Remove excess water from the floor. Buff with dry mop or towel.

For heavy soiling:1. Sweep or vacuum floor of debris.2. If there are deeply soiled areas or apparent staining on the surface of the tile, first attempt to identify and pre-treat them. Different surface contaminants require different cleaning methods and chemicals (see chart).3. Scrub with a cleaning compound and floor machine equipped with an abrasive pad or stiff, natural bristle brush. For residential and small areas, use a scrub brush.4. Remove the dirty cleaning solution with a wet vacuum and rinse the floor more than once to thoroughly remove the cleaning agent from the surface.5. Remove excess water from the floor.

Polished1. Sweep or vacuum the floor of loose dirt. An untreated, drydust mop may be more effective than a soft bristle broom.2. Wipe or mop with a diluted solution of neutral cleaner or clean, clear water.3. If cleaning solution is used, rinse thoroughly with clean water.4. Dry or buff to increase shine and water spots.

Slate and Industrial FinishesFiandre material’s slate and industrial finishes offer an excellent safety feature due to their high degree of slip-resistance. However, they require a slight variation in cleaning procedure. Due to the undulation and texture of the tile surface, it will be necessary to reach the soil that rests on the low points of the tile. Standard wet mopping will not be completely effective in cleaning these textured surfaces.

1. Sweep or vacuum floor. If sweeping, use a soft bristle broom. The choice of brush bristles is important because a strong, thorough bristle action is required to remove debris. Sweep in two directions. First, follow the direction of the tile, and then sweep diagonal to the tile to ensure complete removal of all foreign material.2. Saturate the surface with a neutral cleaning solution (use a degreaser in food preparation areas). Agitate and allow the mixture to remain on the floor for a few minutes, giving the cleaner time to activate. Use a scrub machine or bristle brush to scrub. Once again, use a cross action pattern to ensure soil removal. 3. Rinse the floor with clean water and remove with a wet vacuum or dry toweling to eliminate dirty water from escaping into low points of the surface.

Note: Several factors will effect the frequency of maintenance and type of procedure required, including pedestrian traffic, weather conditions, walk off mats, color of floor (lighter floors show more soiling) and environment. Please take these conditions under consideration when planning your maintenance schedule.
