THE PROBLEM
Cotto and porous stones are very much used in both internal and external flooring; however, the characteristics of the material need this to be properly treated, in order to be able to maintain its natural beauty over time,and to easily manage everyday maintenance.
Treatments have seen an important technical evolution in recent years, partly due to the decreasing number of skilled craftsmen, which has led to increasingly easy-to-use and reversible formulations.
THE SOLUTION
The treatment of cotto and porous stone flooring is necessary in order to keep the characteristics of the material unchanged over time, both physical and chromatic. In indoor flooring, proper treatment also facilitates daily maintenance,creating a surface that allows a proper use of rags and mops.

Before performing a finishing treatment on interior flooring it is recommended to always perform a water absorption test to assess the degree of absorption, so that you can choose the appropriate treatment.
