Treating terracotta: advantages and certifications
Treating terracotta before laying offers numerous advantages both for the quality of the final result and for the economic efficiency of the process. In Salerno, DIVUEMME Trattamenti S.a.s. performs pre-laying treatments in the laboratory to ensure terracotta floors of the highest quality, with a higher degree of waterproofing and protection than treatments carried out directly on site. The working conditions in the laboratory are ideal for obtaining optimal results, without the limitations imposed by the environmental conditions of a building site, which can often negatively affect the performance of the treatment.
Advantages: Applying a protective treatment in the laboratory allows you to obtain terracotta that is much more resistant to humidity, stains and external agents, while maintaining the natural beauty of the material intact. This type of treatment is not only technically more effective, but also economically advantageous: treating terracotta before laying allows you to reduce overall costs, often by up to half, compared to a post-laying treatment. Thanks to this optimization, customers can benefit from a long-lasting, high-quality floor at a lower cost.
DIVUEMME also guarantees that the pre-treated terracotta complies with all the main certification standards in the sector, ensuring safety, resistance and durability. Among the verified parameters, the water absorption coefficient (UNI EN ISO 10545-4:2000) guarantees resistance to humidity, while the slip resistance coefficient (BCR) ensures safe surfaces even in humid environments. The certification of resistance to thermal shock (UNI EN ISO 10545-9:2000) and that of resistance to grease stains (UNI EN 1545-5:2000) add further guarantees for floors that maintain their aesthetic and functional characteristics intact over time.
With DIVUEMME in Salerno, treating the terracotta before installation means obtaining a superior quality, resistant and safe floor, with an economically advantageous process that complies with sector regulations.
