TECHNICAL ADVICES
HOT DECORS
HOT decors are all made in 3rd and 4th fire: the decoration made
on the tile is fired again in high temperature kilns. This process
has some graphic and color limits, but, at the same time, offers
remarkable materiality, 3D surface and a great resistance of the
decoration itself.
COLD DECORS
COLD decors have a nice texture carved with CNC machines for
innovative 3D graphics and are also cold decorated on the surface
or into the grooves. This type of decoration allows infinite graphics,
bright HD colors and shades still impossible to obtain with the 3rd fire,
but requires that all the above cautions for indoor wall decorations,
are really respected. These cold decorations, are totally compatible
with use also in bathrooms and showers and are water-based
therefore non-toxic and safe. You can clean them whenever you want
but always with soft sponges and neutral detergents to enjoy them
for years and years on the walls of houses, hotels, shops, offices,
etc. On cold decorations do not apply adhesive tape.
ARTWORK means a work of art, because this is the spirit with which Boxer
presents the new range of decors 60x120cm on porcelain slab. We took
the tile (like a canvas on which to paint) from one of the most prestigious
factories, then we decorated, modified and redefined it according to the
latest market trends until we obtained a wide range of works of art to
proudly exhibit in your locations.
The ARTWORK range has two sections: HOT and COLD. Both are
part of the “decorations” world, therefore subject to all cautions
common to all decorations that you know because they are recalled
by all tile factories and well known by all professional installers
(non-exhaustive examples: no abrasive tools during installation,
no cleaning with abrasive rags or sponges or jet steam cleaners,
no acid / basic detergents but only neutral for care and cleaning,
etc.). But in this case, the different production technique between
the two sections requires a different approach.
INSTALLING TWO-PIECE COMPOSITIONS
When ordering, check how
many compositions you will
need in your installation; in
the example shown here, 4
compositions are required.
