Cerim Onyx | Italian Porcelain Tile
Cerim’s interpretation of Onyx is striking. The fully polished version is dramatic without being extreme, and the coordinating natural finish is more subdued. The 12x24 comes in the standard 10 mm thickness in both finishes, while the 32x32 (polished only) is 6 mm thick, making this large format easier to install on walls.

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. Using a leveling system can improve the installation of this product.There are special recommendations for setting the 6 mm thick material, especially when installing it on floors but also for walls. Things to consider include, but are not limited to - making sure the substrate is properly reinforced, flat and rigid; planning so that the placement of holes (for plumbing, etc.) is kept away from the edge of the tile; preventing air pockets (back-buttering); using a leveling system. Florim/Cerim have a document with their detailed instructions which is available upon request.
Lucido Cleaning and Maintenance
As with all shiny material, the polished surface is susceptible to scratching during installation and use, and extra care should be taken when handling and grouting. The factory does not recommend sealing or treating this material. Polished material can be etched with acids. Avoid detergents, solvents or acid-based products containing hydrochloric acid, citric acid, acetic acid or abrasive components. Do not use cleaning agents like abrasive cleaners which might scratch the surface. It is advisable to test a small area in a not highly visible section of the tiles before proceeding to clean the whole surface.
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.
