A) Laying:    The Terracotta and Gres Veneziano is laid in the traditional way,
                       with  joints (8-10 mm), using exclusively glue. We recommend           
                       blending the  material well and waiting at least 2/3 days before 
                       walking on so as to allow a total adherence to the FLOATING.
                       NOTE: Waterproofing can never be total, it is therefore necessary
                       to protect the paving from paint, solvents, alcohol, etc. after laying.

 B) Washing:  Washing must be done a certain period after laying, when the floor
                        has already eliminated the "Saltpeter" and has dried. It is 
                        advisable to clean it with a 10-15 percent solution of caustic soda
                        (1.5 kg of soda and 8-9 liters of warm water), rinsing the floor 
                        some days later  with "acid water" (water with 15 percent          
                        "DISTICHAL" or muriatic acid). These operations must always
                        be made using nylon brushes or, better still, with a single brush.
                       Once these operations have been done, lightly wash the floor with
                        pure water removing everything with rags, sponges, sawdust or,      
                        better still, with a liquid suction collector.

 C) Treating:  1-External Situations: Lightly spread straw yellow oil using a nylon
                        brush. Carry out on warm or sunny days.
                        2-Internal Situations:
                        *NATURAL COLOR: Lightly spread DW88 liquid wax diluted with
                        40% water in the usual way.
                        *COLOR "ANTICO": Spread "black" wax row by row. Pass over
                        with a cloth immediately and then lightly polish. Apply a thin coat of
                        DW88 wax the following day as at natural color.
                        *COLOR "MODERN CUOIO": Spread "yellow" wax row by row.
                        Pass over with a cloth immediately and then lightly polish. After
                        12/24 hours apply a thin coat of DW88 wax as at natural color.
                        IMPORTANT: Before going ahead with the treatment be sure that
                        the flooring is completely dry.
