TERRACOTTA FLOOR IN BATH WITH SALITER BY FLOODING OF PIPE BREAK
On this occasion we find a job that is usual when there is a broken pipe and we have a terracotta floor with closed pores for having applied some kind of protective treatment.
In these cases it happens that the humidity of the interior when trying to evaporate, is with the closed pore of the slab of mud and therefore not being able to evaporate is just below forming a white spot of saltpeter that we can not access and that Of course it gives a horrible appearance to the mud floor.
It is very important to know that before proceeding to restore the mud floor, the leakage of water must have been repaired; otherwise the saltpeter would appear again soon.
Here you can see the initial state that we are :
The first step that we have to do in these cases is to proceed to stripping to eliminate the previous treatment of the terracotta floor and therefore be able to open the pore of the slab and in this way proceed then to the eradication of the mold and saltpeter that has formed .
This is the aspect after having carried out the phase of pickling and cleaning both the saltpeter and the embedded mold :
After waiting about 5 days to dry completely, we returned and proceeded to the application of the protective treatment with satin effect finish, according to the client's choice, which enhances the natural coloring of the clay slab, but with a satin finish (no shine ).
Finally, this is the final result we obtained :
