Glossary
Majolica tiles
It refers to a particular type of tile which surface is coated and decorated by a glaze (see Bicottura).
Mitered tiles (jolly tiles or angled tiles)
Special 45° angled tiles installed in corners and edges.
Monocottura (single-firing)
This method includes the simultaneous firing at high temperatures of both the body and the glaze.
It results in tiles with good chemical-physical properties, ideal to cover floorings and walls both indoors and outdoors.
Mortar fixing (wet-fixing method)
It is recommended for unlevelled subsurface; it makes the flooring heavier and requires longer execution and drying periods.
The used materials are cement or lime mixtures, sand and water.
Once the mixture is dried a harder material is obtained, which is resistant to stress, frost and moisture but features low deformation properties.
