FAQ
What are the delivery times?
We have agreed with our artisans a production and processing time which is expressed in weeks for each specific material. At the end of the production weeks you need to add 5 working days for shipping and delivery. Fangorosa has chosen to work with artisans to propose surfaces produced and processed according to tradition and not industrialization, each order is executed on the spot, placing care and attention on each tile.
Any extra fee?

Delivery methods:
The Fangorosa surfaces are selected using 3 criteria: quality, prices and craftsmanship. Each criterion takes into account a single goal: to provide the best possible product for your project. The choice of proposing a unique and handcrafted product suggests us to highlight that some factors independent of us can affect delivery times, therefore the timing, although likely they are estimates, we are not able to guarantee specific deadlines. We recommend that you book the installation of our materials only after having received and checked the entire order.
Before the delivery:
Once your order has been shipped you will receive a call from our courier to schedule a delivery appointment.

Depending on the needs, the material will be put on the road with a special hydraulic side. It is the customer’s responsibility to move the material from public land and transport it to the place of installation, the courier will not break the pallet.
When planning the delivery appointment, keep in mind the conditions of the road or yard where the material must be unloaded: width of roads / sidewalks, presence of trees, steps and obstacles in general that do not allow safe unloading for operators / customers / material.

Fangorosa, during checkout, strongly advises you to buy the treatment for the type of material you choose for your surfaces. In this way you will be able to make shine and treat your tiles from their installation.
In fact, our products are the result of careful cleaning and maintenance research of surfaces. Thanks to special formulas, these treatments give shine to your tiles and they prevent the formation of mold, bacteria, germs, pathogens.
What is the sample?
- The sample is a representative example of the product you have chosen for color and material. The possibility of a slight inhomogeneity of the product is to be considered a characteristic of the product itself which testifies to its craftsmanship and uniqueness.
- Due to the high demand, the customer can only order a sample of a product in the same color. For any particular need, write to studio@fangorosa.com.
What is sfrido?
SFRIDO: adding material at the time of order. International industry standards suggest adding at least 15% due to tile cuts, potential breakage, or future repairs. There is always the potential for breakage when moving and shipping the tiles (2% -4%).
Why is 15% more material added to my order by default?
It is highly recommended to have additional tiles to make tile cuts during installation and to keep them for any future plumbing (or other construction) repair needs. Many of our tiles vary in color from batch to batch because they are handcrafted and so if you need more tiles in the future, it may not match your current tile.
What does the abbreviation V and T mean?
Fangorosa offers a variety of tiles of different types and materials. With this, we often see degrees of variation. From swirls of pigments that fill concrete tile molds in slightly different ways, to ancient methods of producing glazes in our terracotta creating one-of-a-kind pieces, the craftsmanship of many of our tiles brings about differences in color, hue and texture. These differences are more pronounced in some types of tiles than in others. The following is a guide to the different degrees of variation we have assigned to our tiles. Each of the tiles in our online catalog is classified both by color variation, indicated by a V, and by material variation, indicated by a T. Lower numbers indicate lower variations and textures, while higher numbers indicate greater variations. These ratings are available on each product page.
COLOR CHANGE – V
V1: low variation. All tiles will show a lot-to-lot variation percentage. As with all tiles, mixing is always recommended before installation.
V2: slight variation. There may be slight visible differences in the colors of the tiles within a given lot, however in general, as a whole, the tiles grouped in any installation will have a uniform appearance. As with all tiles, mixing is always recommended before installation.
V3: average variation. These tiles are generally the result of a handmade artisan production, they are usually of a singular color, there may be more shades of that color clearly represented within each lot. As with all tiles, mixing is always recommended before installation.
V4: heavy variation. Typically there will be multiple shades or pigments present within each tile, and often no two will be alike. In addition, producing entire batches can of course result in slightly skewed shade differences in one way or another. Despite their individual and obvious differences, when put together in an installation, these tiles will exhibit a consistent coloration. As with all tiles, mixing is always recommended before installation.
V5: extreme variation. There may be multiple shades and colors visibly represented within the lots. Some tiles will be noticeably lighter or darker within the lots and these differences are also evident in the installations, creating a beautiful patchwork effect. It is recommended to purchase more samples this way you will be able to view the pallet range. As with all tiles, mixing is always recommended before installation.
PLOT VARIATION – T
T1: smooth. The surface of these tiles will be very even.
T2: light texture. The production will involve a slight physical variation of the tile surfaces. Overall there will be uniformity at the time of installation.
T3: medium texture. There will be significant structural differences between tiles from the same lot.
T4: heavy texture. There can be extreme structural differences between the tiles. The effect is produced by the nature of the production process, these can have rough or damaged surfaces, as well as cracks and pitting. These are not defects, but rather integral parts of the tiles themselves, which testify to their craftsmanship and uniqueness.
