Coem Loire | Italian Porcelain Tile
Loire represents a return to a rustic sensibility with a more modern interpretation of “rustic“. It has very softly chiseled edges and wide shade variation. The final look resembles the stone blocks of castle walls in Europe, rich with history yet situated in the heart of modern cities. There is a wide range of variation in graphics and color and care should be taken to achieve the desired blend. Therefore it is important to mix the tile within each carton and blend tile from several cartons during installation.

Installation
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 TCNA Handbook and guidelines by your mortar manufacturer for more information. It is important to mix pieces within each carton and from several cartons to attain a proper blend.

The 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.
