To care for a Terracotta floor or red floor tiles, Valmour recommends to protect them and afterwards care for them either in a traditional or in an innovating way.
To begin with, protect your terracotta with the Tile Protector Impregnator LOUIS XIII. Very easy application, does not modify the appearance of your floor and protects perfectly against stains of water, wine, coffee etc ... Apply on a clean, dry and grease-less floor : consult the advice card "Terracotta Floor Treatment and Protection".
Apply 2 coats to obtain permanent protection !
Afterwards, we recommend 2 ranges for usual maintenance :
1 - Traditonal Range :
The Patina Tile Wax LOUIS XIII gives a warm and waxed appearance to old or new terracotta. Wax-based formula, apply regularly with a floorcloth or a squeezy on a floor previously treated with the Tile Protector Impregnator LOUIS XIII. Shine with an old wool jumper. The Patina Tile Wax is available in 4 lightly colouring colours. At first, several coats will be necessary in to obtain a patinated effect
Afterwards, regularly wash your floors with the Real Black Soap LOUIS XIII based on linseed oil. Use without rinsing.
2 - Innovation Range :
The application of the Varnishing Emulsion AVEL on your terracotta tiles allows to shine and protect them. Apply approx. once each year. This emulsion resists against scratches and protects against oil, wine and water stains... Easy application with a floorcloth, quick-drying. One light application gives a waxed appearance, 2 applications a shining appearance.
Available in neutral for light terracotta (choose the Emulsion for Floor Tiles, Marble) and in red for red terracotta.
To wash floors regularly treated with the Varnishing Emulsion AVEL, the Metallic Polishing Shampoo Floor Tiles AVEL has been specially designed. It is the complement of the emulsion. Dilute before using, no need to rinse. Also available for red terracotta and floor tiles.
To sum up, if you want :
1 - A raw, dry appearance : choose the Tile Protector Impregnator LOUIS XIII alone,
2 - a patinated appearance : choose the Impregnator + the Patina Tile Wax LOUIS XIII + Real Black Soap LOUIS XIII..
3 - a "wet" waxed or shiny appearance : choose the Impregnator +Varnishing Emulsion AVEL + Metallic Polishing Shampoo.
