Treatment of the exterior terracottas
Treatment of the exterior terracottas
- Treatment of exterior terracotta
Treating terracottas outdoors consists of only two distinct phases. Outdoor tiles are not waxed.
Cleaning :
The recommendations are the same as those for indoors. It is important to pay attention to the environment (façades and vegetation).
Impregnation
It is necessary to choose a product that penetrates well into the Terracotta but do not use any products that may leave a film on your floor. In fact, any product that fully blocks the porosity of clay is absolutely inappropriate.
You will find at your terracotta supplier different types of microporous penetrating products.
In the past, most people treated outdoor terracotta with a saturated hydrocarbon product because microporous waterproofing products did not exist. It is still a common alternative nowadays, even if it is much less efficient.
