How to maintain and enhance our natural stone paving ?
Well-maintained paving improves over time. Indeed, a paving in Burgundy limestone has the particularity of developing a patina over time with simple and non-aggressive maintenance by creating a natural protection layer called carbonation.
For your interior, maintenance of your paving is simple : you should vacuum and then wash the floor with water, supplemented with a neutral washing agent like Deterquot. You can use Detercal for a thorough clean once a month.
You can also alternate with well-diluted savon noir (black soap) in a bucket of warm water once in a while. Be careful not to do it too often because some black soaps are quite greasy and can clog up the paving.
Outside, we recommend Determousse which you should apply once or twice in the spring to remove any moss and slow down its emergence.
A treated floor
An treated Burgundy stone floor, whether indoors or outdoors, is easier to maintain and helps prevent stain formation. To check if your floor is treated or if you wish to apply a water/oil-repellent treatment, you can perform the water drop test.
It is advisable, in any case, to reapply a water-repellent treatment to your floor or, more generally, to your Burgundy stone elements every 2 to 3 years, particularly using our Imperpierre product. A permanent solution exists: it is the mineralization of the stone, which is a mineral chemistry process.
Generally, for our products, you can refer to the Maintenance and Protection section or visit our online store.
