Please check samples before making final selection and to get actual dimensions for layout.

Usage and Installation Information
Cortina is suitable for walls and floors including residential and light commercial use.
To attain the proper mix of graphics and color, it is important to pull from multiple boxes during installation, rotate pieces, and note the placement of the different images to get the proper final blend.
Most Italian manufacturers recommend a maximum offset of 8” (20cm) on all large format tiles when setting a running bond. Please refer to ANSI requirements for setting large format tiles, ANSI A 108.2 Section 4.3.8. There are special setting requirements and materials for large format tiles. Please refer to the TCNA Handbook and guidelines by your mortar manufacturer for more information.
Paver
Note about 24x36 Paver: The 24 x 36 Paver is suitable for most exterior paving applications including patios, pool decks, walkways, terraces, steps, and even most slopes. Of course, final suitability always comes down to the specific circumstances of the project, and proper cleaning and maintenance is required to maintain the slip resistance of any surface. Properly installed, 3/4” (2 cm) thick paver can be set on sand, gravel, grass or with a traditional thinset installation. The recommended minimum grout joint for the paver is 3/16”. Pedestal applications are also possible with special installation requirements which are available upon request.
The Dynamic Coefficient of Friction is a general guide only. Testing may vary with different production runs and with different testing labs. As noted in the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) the coefficient of friction varies considerably due to facts not under the control of entities such as the manufacturers and distributors. These factors include, but are not limited to, contaminants, slope of terrain, drainage conditions, adjacent surfaces, etc. Suitability for any installation can only be determined by a site examination of all conditions that could affect the slip resistance of the tile being installed. Continual cleaning and maintenance must be performed once the tile has been installed.
