A technical consultation helps you find the most effective solution for your specific case.
In the historic center of Pistoia, Italy, inside a charming period building, a handmade antique terracotta floor underwent a highly specialized restoration process. At first glance, the surface looked heavily compromised. An old treatment had deteriorated over time and made the terracotta dark, uneven, and difficult to read. Therefore, simple cleaning was not enough. Instead, the situation required a precise technical intervention carried out by professionals who truly understand the material. For this reason, the work was carried out by Pippolo Company by Timpano Giuseppe, a company specialized in the professional restoration of historic terracotta floors.
Rust stains on floors are a common issue, especially on outdoor surfaces. These yellowish marks can affect the appearance of stone materials and are often difficult to remove without the right treatment. In many cases, the cause is linked to everyday activities such as garden care. The use of fertilizers and lawn treatments can lead to rust formation due to the presence of iron sulfate. When it comes into contact with moisture, it oxidizes and leaves persistent stains on surfaces. During a project in Italy, in the city of Empoli, MG Service Company handled this exact issue. The team worked on stone surfaces affected by deep rust stains, which required a precise and professional approach to remove them without damaging the material.
