The protection of hydric soils
Les cement tile rajoles These are colourful mosaics which, on seeing them, take our minds back to other ancient times, recalling our grandmother's house, imagining the palaces of the stories and the great monuments of modernism.
Today, they are back in fashion because, in addition to originality and elegance, they give a vintage look to the living room without losing their ability to adapt perfectly to any other decorative style.
The most outstanding feature is the multiplicity of designs that exist and the originality of their motifs, which give a unique personality to the room and transform every space where they are placed. For this reason, they are ideal for single-family homes, offices, museums, restaurants, hotels and other places that need to impress guests or visitors.
Although it is true that hydraulic earths need some special care from time to time, when they are treated, the quality and resistance that characterises them is renewed. Treating them correctly is a key factor in making them look bright and like new.
It should be remembered that they are handmade piece by piece, from the compression with hydraulic press of materials such as cement, sand and colour pigments. Therefore, they require special protection and care like all handcrafted products. Mosaics Torra has developed products specially designed to treat and protect the hydraulic cracks in order to keep them in perfect condition and increase their useful life.
How to treat and protect hydraulic soils
Treating and protecting hydraulic soils involves minimising the porosity that characterises them in order to increase their protection against the frequent knocks to which they are exposed every day. Without proper cleaning and protection, they would be absorbed by the mosaics, making their complete removal unfeasible.
The products that allow the treatment of hydraulic soils give them a waterproofing power that repels all types of liquids, quickly preventing their absorption. This is the case of the Torra waterproofing products: Brite Sealer, Sealer and Torrastone Sealer.
Waterproofing of hydraulic floors Torra Sealer
It is ideal for treating all the indoor collections manufactured by Mosaics Torra. This product guarantees protection against future tiling by creating an extremely resistant barrier and sealing the pores of the hydraulic earth. Moreover, it does not alter the original colours of the tiles.
Torra Brite Sealer waterproofing for hydraulic floors
This product is made with a solvent base, which allows for greater care when applying it, which must be done with a spatula of about 20 cm vertically and horizontally. This waterproofing enhances the tones of the mosaic, giving the tiles a “mosaic effect”.
Torrastone Sealer waterproofing of hydraulic earths
It is the ideal product for Mosaics Torra's outdoor collections such as the Torrastone and Hexàgon Gaudí series.
In addition to a correct waterproofing of our waterproof floors, we must not neglect a continuous cleaning that guarantees a complete protection of these materials. For this reason, the Torra Floor Cleaner is ideal. It guarantees the removal of residues of building work, cement and saline efflorescence, and is also suitable for daily use as it provides a thorough cleaning of the tiles and the residues of dampness.
And if you want a shinier and longer-lasting finish, you can apply our Max Tile wax, an excellent option for achieving brighter and shinier floors without modifying the colour of the hydraulic cracks.
