In the course of our daily life we use a number of products which, at some time or other, may come in contact with FIORA® products. For this reason, in addition to the testing
procedures required for the CE marking, our R&D department also conducts its own tests involving the exposure of our materials to a range of commonly used products to
check for durability, resistance and any adverse effects.
These tests are always designed and performed with practical purposes in mind, using commercially available products one can find in any supermarket. (However, our testing
conditions are still far more severe than the everyday use situations to which FIORA® products are likely to be exposed).
We have included below the actual test results obtained using SILEXPOL® samples. In both cases the methodology was the same; the product listed was applied to one side
of the sample for the specified time while the other half was left covered. Following the exposure period, both surfaces were compared.
In all cases, the product was removed after the specified time and the test sample cleaned using water and a general cleaner.
FAQ’s (FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS)
On using the SILEXPOL® washbasin for the first time I noticed that the water did not flow correctly despite the unit being correctly installed and levelled. During
manufacture and transport the basins may accumulate static electricity which can prevent the water flowing correctly at first. Once you clean the basin with soap, water and
a cloth you will notice this problem diminishing significantly. After a few uses the phenomenon will disappear completely.
What is the evacuation capacity of the sinks you sell? All the drains in our vanities have a flow rate of up to .45 liters/second, higher than that required by current code
EN 274, which requires a minimum flow rate of .4 liters/second.
How do I order spare parts? FIORA BATH COLLECTIONS S.L.U. can provide a whole range of spare parts from stock. Please get in touch with our Sales Department for
anything you need.
