Due to its high absorption of water, terracotta is delicate and in its natural state must be fully protected, taking special care to avoid stains from hands, shoes, cigarettes, oil, grease, etc., and to protect the paving with cardboard or plastic until the work is finished.

The BARCELONA NATURAL paving can be treated with various systems and Products. Each one gives a different shade and a different appearance. It is recommended to conduct a test with several pieces before carrying out the treatment on the paving, in order to ensure that the effect required and the most appropiate treatment are obtained, depending on the area of use.

The same considerations apply for BARCELONA PLUS paving as for Barcelona Natural, taking into account that the treatment to be applied should be solvent-based; aqueous based treatments should NOT be applied, and bearing in mind that it is very sensitive to stains from oil, grease and alcohol, etc., if the appropriate treatment is not applied.

It is recommended to have a programme of treatment Products specifically designed for terracotta, depending on the type or place of application. As a general rule, the paving should only be treated when the flooring it is COMPLETELY CLEAN and DRY. We recommend the TERRACOTTA PLUS professional maintenance system.

Due to the possibility of potential errors during installation and treatment, it is recommended to obtain the collaboration and supervision of a professional experienced in and familiar with the positioning and treatment of this kind of paving.
