TERRACOTTA FLOOR RECOVERY INTERIOR IN VERY BAD OLD WITH LINSEED OIL TREATMENT (MARBELLA)

Work done to recover a terracotta floor inside house in very bad condition due to years of applications artisan treatments such as oil mora, which have been obscured the mud and by the erosion of time, presented a state that can be seen in the following photos:






We proceeded to the pickling process for the removal of old and shabby treatment. Having multiple layers applied over the years had to go by making several passes and pickling layer by layer. However in these cases there are areas as embedded inside the mud that are almost impossible to remove; however this was the result obtained after stripping and cleaning phase:





Finally as the house was old and had moisture seepage problems we proceeded to the application of treatment for outdoor terracotta floors with wet finish effect. This type of treatment allows the slab traspirar so that moisture evaporates from within the mud of possible leaking. However treatment abroad, to allow traspirar the mud, leaves a degree of waterproofing of approximately 90%; so in this case must be taken to prevent liquid stains like wine glasses or oil, can penetrate and stain the mud. For this reason immediate cleaning is recommended in case of spilling something.

Here you have some photos of the final result obtained after applying the treatment commented:

We speak of added difficulty; as the combination of marble and mud is not very common and it is often problematic, since the cleaning products used for mud have an acid component brightness eats polished marble. Fortunately this marble floor was old and honed (dull), so this facilitated the work; although we had a special care when using cleaning products in right proportions to avoid damaging the marble at all. The floor had stains embedded especially in the mud of semi-manual. Therefore the procedure was to make a first cleaning phase , as we said with proportions of very poor cleaning products to protect the marble. This process had to be repeated twice in a row to achieve the total elimination of stains. Subsequently after waiting for the soil completely dried about 4 days we proceeded to the implementation of protective treatment that w...
