Terracotta is quite simply “baked clay” and it is the production process that transforms one of nature’s most basic elements into a product which is rich and warm in appearance and; one of the main reasons this popular tile flooring is chosen for kitchens, conservatories and family rooms.

It’s a very practical stone, which, if correctly treated from day one and maintained regularly, will provide many years of service and pleasure.

However if terracotta is abused and sealed incorrectly, over the years it can become very challenging to restore.

Above is a short movie of a recent terracotta restoration project, the challenges included removal of heavy wax/seal build-up & discoloration of the tiles.

The restoration process consisted of first removing the old wax / seal using powerful specialized restoration equipment and Wax & Residue Remover.  Due to the numerous amounts of wax and seal used over the years, this proved to be quite a challenging and time consuming process.

Wax & Residue remover was meticulously applied three times to ensure all the old stubborn contaminants had been removed.  The area was then neutralized the floor allowed to dry.

The process was completed with an application of Terracotta Sealer & Terracotta Hi-Gloss Liquid Wax

I’m sure you’ll agree, the patience and techniques used, ensured a fantastic result and of course, one very happy and delighted client.
