What vision does the Paradyż Scandiano collection recreate?

The design of Scandiano is inspired by natural stone and traditional Mediterranean architecture. The structured surface, tonal transitions and varied tile faces create a natural look suitable for classic, rustic and contemporary spaces.

What spaces are Scandiano clinker tiles suitable for?

Depending on the specific product, the tiles can be used for terraces, balconies, stairs, facades, corridors, living rooms and entrance areas. The base tiles are intended for flooring, the relief elements - for walls and facades, and the special steps and baseboards - for finishing staircases.

Is the Scandiano series suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, the base and step clinkers of the series are frost-resistant and there are models among them suitable for terraces, balconies and external stairs. For reliable installation outdoors, glue and grout designed for clinker and external conditions should be used. It is also necessary to ensure the correct slope, good water drainage and appropriate expansion joints.

Do Paradyż Scandiano clinkers have an anti-slip surface?

The manufacturer specifies an anti-slip class of R10 for the base floor tiles and step elements under consideration. This makes them a practical solution for stairs, terraces, balconies and other areas where better stability is needed when walking. The indicator should be checked for the specific product, as wall tiles and baseboards have different purposes.

Is the Scandiano series suitable for cladding stairs?

Yes, the collection offers straight risers, Kapinos models with a shaped front edge and Kapinos corner risers. They allow for precise finishing of the horizontal part, front edge and external corners of the staircase. For a complete composition, base tiles and skirting boards of the same color can be added.

What is the difference between a straight foot and a Kapinos foot?

The straight step is a flat clinker element designed to cover the horizontal part of the staircase. The Kapinos step has a specially shaped front edge that completes the line of the step and creates a more precise transition to the front. Kapinos corner steps are used for the end sections.

What sizes are available in the Paradyż Scandiano series?

Among the main formats in the collection are:

• 30 × 30 cm and 30 × 60 cm for base floor tiles;

• about 24 × 6.5 cm for embossed wall and facade tiles;

• 30 × 33 cm for Kapinos straight steps;

• 33 × 33 cm for Kapinos corner steps;

The exact production size, thickness and purpose should be checked on the selected product page.

Are there color variations between individual Scandiano tiles?

Yes, some of the products in the series have tonal variations from V2 to V4. These show varying degrees of change in color and pattern between individual tiles. These differences are part of the design and contribute to a more natural stone look. For a balanced result, tiles should be mixed from several boxes and spread out over the area in advance.

Are Paradyż Scandiano clinker tiles rectified?

The Scandiano base and step tiles reviewed are unrectified. This means that their edges are not additionally cut to a completely uniform caliber and an appropriate visible joint must be left during installation.

What joint width is recommended for the Scandiano series?

For base floor tiles and some straight steps, the recommended minimum joint width is 3 mm. For outdoor installations, a joint of at least 5 mm is recommended. For Kapinos steps and corner elements, the minimum recommended width is usually 5 mm. The final size must be adapted to the specific product, substrate and operating conditions.

Can the different Scandiano colors and elements be combined?

Yes, base tiles can be combined with wall cladding, steps and skirting boards of the same colour. It is also possible to combine Beige, Brown, Ochre and Rosso to create contrasting steps, borders or decorative areas. Due to natural colour variations, it is advisable to compare real samples before ordering.

How to calculate the required amount of Scandiano clinker?

Measure the area to be tiled and add a margin for cutting, breakage and future repairs. For standard straight laying, around 7–10% extra is usually expected. For diagonal laying, complex shapes or multiple external corners, a larger margin may be required. Bases, straight steps and corner elements should be calculated separately by number.
