CLEANING AND TREATMENT OF TERRACOTTA FLOOR AND STONE EXTERIOR: THE VIÑUELA (MALAGA)

This time we are hired to carry out the cleaning and treatment of terracotta floor and stone terraces in a cottage next to Lake Viñuela (Málaga).

Overall despite being an old mud, the original state was not shabby, but one area where had spots of mold and another where a red paint had been applied which apparently was a boat varnish and had been fatal.

All the cleaning process was completed successfully; however stripping paint boat was extremely complicated and in fact not 100% was eliminated. After speaking with the client we commented that in this particular area was not possible to completely eradicate the happy painting; so she decided to change those few tiles with new ones to achieve a satisfactory outcome.
After more than 12 years dedicated to this we never stop learning new things. Clarify that in practically all cases we eliminate all traces of previous treatments, but in this case was not achieved at 100%.

It happens that when we are dealing with recovery work with terracotta floors above treatments in poor condition, we must bear in mind that usually results in removing these older treatments almost 100% are achieved; however, we consider that sometimes we can not do. For this reason, we do not like to sell our clients false expectations. So if we can guarantee is that after the pickling and cleaning is to achieve a more remarkable aesthetic improvement of the soil and of course not forgetting the functional aspect that we protect after treatment to prevent the deterioration of the same will more.

A clean and dry all over the floor once proceeded to the implementation of treatment effect for both wet terracotta floor to the stone floor, to protect and enhance the natural color of both.

Here you have photos of the summary of the work carried out and its outcome.
