In a villa located in the Tuscan countryside, a restoration was carried out on an outdoor terracotta floor, which had deteriorated due to mould, lichens, moss, and black stains caused by moisture. The main goal was to effectively remove mould and lichens and protect the material over time. During the cleaning phase, the team used ALGANET®—a professional stain remover specifically formulated to eliminate biological colonies from terracotta and stone surfaces. The treatment successfully removed even the most stubborn encrustations without damaging the material. Afterwards, they applied TIM®—a transparent and breathable protective product designed to prevent the future formation of mould, stains, and new lichens. This product has the advantage of preserving the aesthetic appearance of terracotta while maintaining its breathability. The final result is a fully restored terracotta surface: clean, protected, easy to maintain, and resistant to atmospheric agents. This intervention stands as a concrete example of how to remove mould and lichens in a long-lasting and professional way, thanks to Marbec products.
The company Pippolo carried out a complete treatment on an outdoor black concrete floor, with the goal of protecting it from weathering and preserving its appearance over time. The process began with a deep cleaning using VIACEM and a Tynex pad, followed by the application of the hydro-oil repellent protector TIM. Finally, a finishing product was applied, giving the concrete a matte, enhanced look that is resistant to rain, sun, and dirt. The result is a surface that is enhanced, protected, and easy to maintain.
