To care for a floor made of natural or reconstituted stone or a tiled floor, Valmour recommends to start by protecting it, and afterwards proposes a traditional or an innovative way of caring for it.
First, protect your floor with the Tile Protector Impregnator LOUIS XIII.
- Easy application, does not modify the appearance of your floor and perfectly protects against water, wine, coffee stains etc....
- apply 2 coats for permanent protection !
- Apply on a clean, dry and grease-less floor. If necessary, consult our advice card Stone Floor Cleaning, Stripping or Stain Removing.
Afterwards, we recommend 2 ranges for usual care :
1 - Traditonal Range :
The Patina Tile Wax LOUIS XIII gives a warm and patinated appearance to your floor. Based on wax, apply regularly with a floorcloth or a squeezy on a water-repellent floor (treated with the Impregnator). Lustre with an old wool jumper. Available in 4 colours with light colouring effect. In the beginning, it is necessary to apply several coats to obtain a waxed aspect.
Afterwards, regularly wash your floor with Real Black Soap with Linseed Oil LOUIS XIII . Use without rinsing.
2 - Innovative Range :
The Varnishing Emulsion AVEL protects your stone/tiled floor and makes it shine. Apply about once a year. Scratch resistant, this emulsion protects against oil stains, wine, water... Easy application with a floorcloth , quick-drying. One light application gives a waxed, 2 applications a shiny appearance.Wash floors regularly cared for with the Emulsion AVEL with the Metallic Wax Shampoo AVEL. It has been developed especially to complement the emulsion. Uses diluted and do not rinse.
For sandstone floors, prefer this Varnishing Emulsion and the corresponding shampoo.
In short, if you want :
1 - a shiny appearance : choose the Emulsion AVEL + Metallic Polishing Shampoo.
2 - a patinated non shiny appearance: choose the Patina Tile Wax LOUIS XIII + the Real Black Soap Louis XIII.
