ART FOR GENERATIONS TO COME
With a little tender loving care, cement tile installations
will last for generations. Even at demolition, cement tiles
have a great resale value as antique reclamations. To
increase the service life and maintain an attractive
appearance, a proper maintenance and cleaning schedule
is recommended for all cement tiles.
Cement tiles should be regularly mopped with clean water
and PH-neutral floor cleaners. Never use acids to clean the
encaustic cement tiles as it will cause damage. Visit our
page on cleaning cement tile for more information. You
may consider our new VillaWax, a floor cleaner initially
developed for hardwood parquet flooring, which also
renews a layer of protective natural wax with each
cleaning.
In some cases, particularly with new construction, settling
and shifting of the substrate may cause cracks to develop.
Often this occurs along grout lines, but it may open a crack
in the sealant layer. This will allow moisture to penetrate,
particularly in wet areas such as bathrooms. When this
occurs, our NanoSealant / Fila Fob can be carefully
reapplied along the crack. Make sure to allow plenty of
time to dry, before doing so.
