Sichena Pavé Brick | Italian Porcelain Tile
The Pave Brick series offers the look of painted brick floors and walls that have aged over time. The Naturale color closely resembles the real bricks that inspired Sichenia to make the line, with the warm tones of the terracotta brick coming through as the paint gets worn away. The Bruciato color also has some pieces that are mostly white with the undertones peeking through, but the brick underneath is neutral with variation from dark brown to beige. In the Sbiancato (white wash) color, the painted surface remains mostly intact. The two rectangular sizes can make multiple patterns on their own or together. The Grip finish is suitable for many exterior applications (see information below).

Grip Finish
The 6-1/2 x 16 Grip is only available in Naturale (NE) color only.
With its R11 B rating, the Grip Finish is suitable for many exterior paving applications including patios, pool decks, walkways, terraces, steps, and even some 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. A seamless flow from interior to exterior spaces can be created by using the natural finish inside and the grip finish outside.
Installation Information
It is important to work with the layout, mixing pieces within each carton and pulling within each carton and pulling from several cartons, to get the proper blend during installation.
The minimum recommended grout joint is 1/8”. It is important to wash down the grout to reveal the chiseled edges. Please note that the material is non-rectified. If using more than one item together, please check the caliber and be aware that you may have to adjust the size of the grout joint to make your pattern work.
Usage
Pavé Brick is suitable for walls and floors, from residential to moderate commercial applications.
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.
