FLOORS AND SURFACES WE TREAT

The material first. Then the treatment.

Porcelain, marble, stone, terracotta, cement tiles, terrazzo and concrete all react differently. Here you’ll find how each material is made, the most common problems and how we treat them.

THE MATERIALS WE TREAT

Every material has its own chemistry.

Choose a material: see how it’s made, its typical problems and what we do to restore and protect it.

Porcelain tiles

Polished, matt, large slabs, wood and marble effect

Compact, low-absorption ceramic fired at high temperature. The polished finish is created in the factory: when it gets scratched, the reflection breaks.

WHAT WE DO
  • Post-installation cleaning with compatible cycles
  • Restoring scratches, backstamp marks and dullness, after a test
  • Invisible anti-slip on suitable materials

PORCELAIN TILES

Polished, matt, large slabs.

Post-installation cleaning, residue and haze need cycles compatible with the finish. Scratches, backstamp marks and dullness are assessed with a test: not every surface can be restored in the same way.

MARBLE AND NATURAL STONE

Marble, granite, stone.

Marble, granite and other stones have different characteristics. Grinding, polishing and protection are chosen after checking the composition, finish and condition of the material.

TERRACOTTA, CEMENT TILES AND TERRAZZO

Living materials, to be respected.

Porosity, pigments and previous treatments guide cleaning and protection. On period floors it’s especially important to start with a sample area.

CONCRETE AND RESINS

Seamless surfaces, technical cleaning.

We assess concrete and resins according to the manufacturer’s instructions and the finish. Technical cleaning and protection are chosen on the real use of the space.

SPECIAL SURFACES

Quartz, sintered stone, worktops.

Quartz, sintered materials and worktops need specific products and timings. We don’t offer a one-size-fits-all treatment.
