Monocibec Thymos | Italian Glazed Porcelain Tile
Thymos is inspired by a marble from the Anatolian peninsula that seemingly preserves the breath of the Earth. It is a material of rare beauty that is defined by measured contrasts and an innate refinement. The chromatically uniform background is mottled with delicate nuances, and the foreground has fine and warm veining which runs across the surface in multiple directions. The brushed finish introduces an elegant note of brightness like the soft reflection of filtered light. It recalls the time-worn surfaces and enhances the depth, color tones and graphic details.

Please Note
It’s never advisable to select tile from images alone, especially when viewed on a screen since they can look different on different kinds of screens. Pictures are provided to give an idea of the look and variation. Colors are intended as a guide only and may vary from actual tile. Sizes listed are nominal. Please check samples before making final selection and to get actual dimensions for layout.
Ordering Information - 24 x 48
Due to the special packing required for the large format tiles, orders for the 24x48 size must be for full box quantities only & we are not able to fill orders on the same day as place.
Trim
The surface bullnose is made from field tile that is cut, ground and reglazed.
Usage and Installation
Thymos is suitable for both residential and moderate commercial installations that do not require an R rating. To attain the proper mix of graphics and color it is important to pull from multiple boxes during installation, rotate pieces, and note the placement of the different images to get the proper final blend.
Most tile manufacturers recommend a maximum offset of 8” (20 cm) 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. Using a leveling system can improve the installation of this product.
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.
